Finding Balance: Loving God with Heart and Soul, Mind and Strength is a six-week video-based Bible study of New Testament women. It will help the women in your group consider the question of balance in their lives—between service and worship, duty and devotion, doing and being. Author Becca Stevens will guide the study, examining the lives of New testament women such as Mary and Martha, Lydia, Mary the mother of Jesus, the Canaanite woman, and Mary Magdalene. Becca will conclude the study by exploring the anointings of Jesus Christ, in which women played a crucial role. The leader spends little time in preparation and is free to participate fully in the Sisters group. This kit includes: Videocassette and DVD with the initial gathering segment and a 15-minute segment for each week, 1 Participant's Workbook for daily reading and reflection, and 1 Leader's Guide to facilitate your group discussion (45-75 mins.)

Becca Stevens books have grown out of her work as chaplain of St. Augustine's Chapel at Vanderbilt University, and as founder and director of Magdalene, a residential community for women with a criminal history of drug abuse and prostitution. Her work with Magdalene has earned national attention and spawned both a cottage industry, Thistle Farms, and related programs here and overseas.

To date, she has raised nearly $13 million and gained nationwide press coverage for the organizations she supports. She has won numerous awards from organizations including the Frist Foundation and the Academy of Women in Achievement. She has been named the "Alumnus of the Year" by the School of Theology at the University of the South, "Nashvillian of the Year" by the Nashville Scene and "Tennessean of the Year" by The Tennessean. In October 2011, she was recognized as a"Champion of Change" by the Obama White House. She has written a number of articles, is a widely traveled speaker, and has both a blog and podcasts available online at www.beccastevens.org. She lives in Nashville with her husband, Grammy-winning songwriter Marcus Hummon, and their three sons, Levi, Caney, and Moses.
