Two New Bible Studies On Finding Peace in Adversity

The post introduces two new companion Bible studies from Adele M. Gill’s Silver Lining Series, written to be used in a small group or read on one’s own. The author describes the series as open to believers and non-believers alike, including men, women, and youth, and says its goal is to help readers ease stress, find peace in hard circumstances, and draw closer to God. Each study is built on 1 Corinthians 10:13 and includes Bible passages, discussion or reflection questions, and prayers meant to help readers grow in their faith.

The first study, “Everyone Has a Thorn,” is presented as a short, easy-to-read guide for anyone who is struggling, overwhelmed, weary, or hurting. The post names a range of difficulties that readers may recognize, such as grief, anxiety, addiction, unemployment, financial strain, and difficult relationships, including a person who feels like a “thorn in your side.” The study promises to show readers how to find peace in any situation, and the post links to where it can be ordered.

The second study, “Paul’s Thorn,” is a six-week in-depth Bible study. The post notes that the apostle Paul faced two thorns: a physical one, and another he accepted while enduring rejection, violence, shipwreck, and imprisonment for preaching the Gospel. Readers will get to know Paul as both a person and a tireless missionary, and will see how he found strength and peace through God’s help and grace in the midst of his hardships. The study is available for small groups or individual purchase through Amazon.
