Attending the Bride of Christ helps women see the church as Christ sees her-as a shining bride preparing for the Bridegroom. This small-group study leads women to a deeper understanding of God's plan for the church and the individual believer's role in His plan. Author Martha Lawley explains how Jesus often used the marriage relationship to teach us about Himself, His purposes, and His ways. This six-week Bible study helps women better understand God's plan for the church and how they can prepare for Christ's return. Attending the Bride of Christ draws from the rich symbolism of a Jewish wedding, familiar during Jesus' times, but not always understood by today's Gentile Christians. By the conclusion of this study, women will discover fascinating biblical truths that point to the climax of history-the marriage feast of the Lamb! Martha Lawley is an author, speaker, Bible study leader, and women's ministry consultant. She was a practicing attorney for 14 years. It was during her practice she first became interested in ancient Jewish traditions. Martha is married to Roger Lawley, and has three children.
