A Joyful Noise
A Joyful Noise is a brief Bible study on Psalm 100 that explores praise as more than a Sunday-morning activity. Through short lessons and study questions, Terri Main reflects on thanksgiving, worship, service, singing, humility, God’s goodness, mercy, and faithfulness. The study invites readers to see praise as a way of drawing near to God, remembering his provision, serving with gladness, and responding to his character with gratitude and trust. Suitable for individual reflection or small-group discussion, this study offers a practical and devotional look at what it means to “serve the Lord with gladness” and enter his presence with thanksgiving and praise.
A Song for the Flock
A Song for the Flock is a devotional Bible study on Psalm 23 that reflects on Jesus as the Good Shepherd and the believer as one of his sheep. Through short lessons and study questions, Terri Main explores God’s provision, rest, restoration, guidance, protection, comfort, anointing, abundant joy, mercy, and the hope of dwelling in the house of the Lord forever. The study invites readers to trust the Shepherd through both quiet pastures and dark valleys, finding reassurance in his care and direction. Suitable for individual reflection or small-group discussion, this study offers a thoughtful look at one of Scripture’s most familiar and beloved psalms.
All Kinds of Prayer
All Kinds of Prayer is a Bible-based study on the many ways believers talk with God. Drawing from passages such as Ephesians 6:18 and 1 Timothy 2:1, Terri Main explores prayer as more than asking for help; it is communion with God, partnership in his work, and a means of aligning the heart with his will. The lessons consider different forms of prayer, including repentance, thanksgiving, intercession, requests for the impossible, supplication, communion, wisdom, and submission. With study questions throughout, this brief guide is suitable for individual reflection or group discussion and encourages readers to approach prayer as an ongoing relationship with a faithful and powerful God.
Be Thou My Vision
Be Thou My Vision by John Fischer is built around classic hymns of the Christian faith. Each reading begins with a line or stanza from a hymn and then offers a short reflection on Scripture, worship, discipleship, grace, confession, hope, and the believer’s daily walk with God. Rather than treating hymns as relics of the past, Fischer draws out their theological depth, emotional honesty, and enduring spiritual insight. This devotional invites readers to slow down, listen to the wisdom carried in the church’s hymns, and let those words deepen their faith one day at a time.
Blessed Be the Name
Blessed Be the Name is a Bible study on the names of God and what they reveal about his character, presence, and relationship with his people. Terri Main explores names such as Jehovah, El Shaddai, Elohim, Adonai, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rophe, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom, and others, showing how each name points to a different aspect of God’s nature and care. The study emphasizes that the names of God are not formulas or spiritual techniques, but reminders of who God is: creator, provider, healer, shepherd, peace, righteousness, salvation, and abiding presence. With study questions throughout, this book is suitable for personal reflection or group discussion.
Discovering the Teachings of Christ

Of a Sound Mind
Of a Sound Mind is a Bible study on the meeting place between psychology and theology, written for readers who want to think biblically and honestly about emotional life. Terri Main addresses topics such as self-talk, Christian meditation, identity in Christ, guilt, anger, depression, fear, forgiveness, and hope, showing how Scripture speaks to the inner life without denying the reality of emotional struggle. The study emphasizes that Christians are not immune from anxiety, grief, anger, or discouragement, but they are not left without help; God’s Word offers truth, perspective, correction, and comfort. With Scripture-based study questions throughout, this book is suitable for individual reflection, support groups, or small-group discussion.
School’s In Session

Rooted and Built Up
Rooted and Built Up is a Bible study on Christian living drawn from Paul’s letter to the Colossians. Terri Main explores the believer’s growth in Christ through themes such as prayer, spiritual maturity, the supremacy of Christ, reconciliation, freedom from legalism, putting off the old life, putting on the new, mutual respect in relationships, and making wise use of opportunities for witness and service. The study emphasizes that Christians are called not merely to be saved, but to grow stronger, serve faithfully, and live with their lives rooted in Christ. With Scripture-based study questions throughout, this book is suitable for individual reflection, small-group discussion, or a practical study of Colossians.
Troubled on Every Side
Troubled on Every Side is a Bible study on being God’s people during difficult times. Terri Main addresses fear, hardship, God’s provision, closed doors, unexpected opportunities, and the call to serve others when life is uncertain. The study does not deny the reality of trouble, but points readers toward faith rather than fear, compassion rather than withdrawal, and bold trust in God’s presence through hardship. With Scripture-based study questions throughout, this book is suitable for individual reflection, small-group discussion, or anyone seeking biblical encouragement during uncertain seasons.
