By considering the lives of characters in the Book of Judges, readers of Java with Judges will see the urgency in doing what’s right no matter the cost.

“They all did what was right in their own eyes.” Sound familiar? In the history of the nation of Israel, the period of the judges looked much like today. Maybe they didn’t have Internet porn and bio-terrorism threats. But they had the me-centered “I” mentality mastered—just like we do.

This six-week study is chock full of exciting drama—from Deborah the Deliverer and tent-peg-wielding Jael to Ehud the Knifer and Samson the Seduced. Their stories inspire us to do what is right in God’s eyes, no matter what the cost.

Because Hannah’s story happened during the time of the judges, an overview of 1 Samuel 1 is also included.

This and all the Coffee Cup Bible Studies books contain weekday Bible study questions with devotional thoughts for lighter weekend reading. Designed for group or individual study. Why not grab a few friends and get ready for a fun, exciting, faith-stretching discussion?
