The Salvation Army International Women's Ministries (IWM) has just released 'Time to Be Holy', a 24-part holiness bible study for you to freely use. Read how you can make the most of this series with your group!
I am convinced and convicted that the world today is desperately looking for disciples so empowered by the Holy Spirit that nothing will stop them from sharing the good news that Jesus can bring hope, life and light to everyone who will call upon his name. Count me in! Will you join me?
At The Salvation Army International Women's Ministries' Reimagining launch, five new bible study series were announced - all written by international female authors in The Salvation Army and to be released in the coming years. The first study is Time to Be Holy, available below. The studies are not exclusively for women’s groups, but 'have been designed to be utilised in groups of all ages, cultures, nationalities, languages and sexes.' The team writes, 'We are praying that God will use this resource far above anything we could ever dream or imagine.'
Time to Be Holy series
In Time to Be Holy's 24-part series, you will find challenging questions, exegesis (unpacking scriptural narrative and context) and written prayers. Use Time to Be Holy in your groups or by yourself, and hear the voices of women throughout our movement. IWM tells us that the women who wrote each study 'are passionate about holiness and their writings will inspire and challenge us to be women with clean hands and pure hearts.'

'Radical! Courageous! Risk-taking! Three words that describe the early disciples after their lives were infused with the power of the Holy Spirit. They moved from their Pentecost experience and became engaged in daily living out a life transformed and filled with the presence of the Living Christ. I am convinced and convicted that the world today is desperately looking for disciples so empowered by the Holy Spirit that nothing will stop them from sharing the good news that Jesus can bring hope, life and light to everyone who will call upon his name. Count me in! Will you join me?' - Commissioner Rosalie Peddle, World President of Women's Ministries
