God and Jesus, who is God, ask many questions in the Bible-both Old and New Testaments. Why? His questions reveal who he is and the motives of the person he is addressing.

In this Book 2, the Millers unearth rich background information and inspirational insights into sixty of the questions Jesus asks in the New Testament.

Friends are gifts from God, but they don't always seem like presents. Thankfully, the Bible talks a lot about relationships and helps us navigate through the ones bringing either joy or challenges. At the Heart of Friendship is an expanded and enlarged version of the original women's Bible study that provides 10 lessons on different aspects of friendship. The focus is on the fascinating interactions in the Bible between Hannah and Penninah, the groom and bride of the Song of Solomon, Mary and Martha, Rachel and Leah, Ruth and Naomi, and many others. Topics cover envy, competition, conflict, mentoring, and relationships with a husband and children-and ultimately a friendship with God. With characteristic depth of questions and insightful commentary, this study in the Daughters of the King Bible Study Series includes the heart-impacting "Letter from God" at the end of each lesson. You'll find this a helpful, encouraging, and enlightening study for yourself or a group of women.
