Whether you've discipled for years or have no prior training in how to minister to those in need this curriculum holds the answers. Depression, anxiety, outbursts of anger are just a few of the consequences associated with deep heart hurts. Cherie Fresonke uses the story of the Sinful Woman in Luke chapter 7 as the foundation to help heal the brokenhearted in this powerful, life-changing curriculum. This Bible study teaches practical application of God's Word to help set the captives free. Those learning from the pages within will soon discover their fear replaced with strength, depression with joy, anxiety with faith, and rage with rest. Best yet, they will discover what it means to go in peace! The Go in Peace Biblical Discipleship Curriculum is easy to use. Order the Go in Peace Leader's Manual (ISBN: 978-0983167846) for yourself and order the Go in Peace Student Workbook (ISBN: 978-0983167853) for the person you wish to disciple. Then simply read the text out loud from the Leader's Manual as the one you are discipling follows along in the Student Workbook. Every place the Leader's Manual has a bold/underlined word, the Student Workbook has a blank space. The curriculum was written in this manner to keep the student's attention. By having to fill in the blank the student not only pays attention, but God can speak deeper to his or her heart as the blanks are filled in with thought provoking words. You can also order the book Go in Peace (ISBN: 978-0983167815) which is assigned throughout the curriculum as homework, however the homework is optional and is not necessary to complete the curriculum. But it does reinforces the Biblical concepts which are taught in the curriculum. Here are a few words that some have penned after going through the Go in Peace Biblical Discipleship Curriculum: "Amazing and life changing!" "Easy to understand and apply!" "Awesome resource!" "Great discipleship tool!" "Highly recommended!" "God blessed my life through it!" "Go in Peace will expose you to yourself!" "I will never be the same again-praises to the Lord!" Note from Cherie about the Go in Peace Leader's Manual Men's Edition: I must say that I was surprised to hear from so many men how this curriculum ministered to them. All I can say is: Praise the Lord! As the original flowery cover portrays I never intended to target men as my readers. But obviously God had greater plans! Since my original intent was never to write to men, the pages within this book remains the same as the original Go in Peace Leader's Manual, only the cover has been changed. As inspiration for the cover, the Lord kept bringing a sentence to mind that He had me write in the curriculum. "Why do we choose to stand in the prison cell when the door is wide open? Accept the gift . . . go in peace." To learn more visit Cherie's website at: www.cheriefresonke.com.
