Beautiful Encounters: The Presence of Jesus Changes Everything - Leader Guide by Erin Davis provides the step-by-step guidance for a leader to facilitate this 8 session Bible study for teen girls. Beautiful Encounters examines how the lives of 11 New Testament women were changed by encounters with Jesus Christ. Teen girls will relate to the needs, emotions and longings of these women and ultimately discover that when we come face to face with Jesus, we are never the same. When we encounter Jesus Christ and see His character displayed before us, we discover the longing in our souls to connect with Him. Through faith in Jesus, our character begins to change. We come to Him empty handed, with nothing to offer. We find in Him everything we have longed for - grace, acceptance, forgiveness, belonging, love.Features: Eight SessionsStep by step instructions to lead teen girls through this studyFocus of each session is Jesus as displayed in the story presentedAuthor: Erin Davis is a popular speaker, author, and blogger, Erin is passionately committed to sharing God's truth with others.
