As women we are programmed to want happiness, but the happiness of this world is fleeting and not true joy. Through studying Philippians we can identify our true source of joy. The Bible gives us a clear perspective of the kind of joy we are to have and it is the power of the Living Word that will change our lives. This study will answer questions as, "Is our happiness what God is concerned with?" or "Is being happy the same as having the joy that the Bible speaks of?" If the best way to study scripture is verse by verse and line by line then we must find a way to study through the scriptures in a systematic and expositional way. That is exactly what this study is, a verse-by-verse study for women who are serious about their commitment to know the mind and will of God. This study has plenty of scripture woven throughout its pages to insure that we learn the whole counsel of God. May it guide you through the Scriptures, to help you Live out the Word.
