Beth Moore Summer Bible Study III
Once again we are participating in the Beth Moore Siesta Summer Bible Study, which begins on June 22, 2010. This summer we are reading Ruth: Loss, Love & Legacy a 6-week women’s Bible study by Kelly Minter.
Beth recommends that you participate in a small group home study….so if that is not possible for you because of your family schedule, work commitment or location…then join us here in online study. We’ll be reading along with Beth Moore, visiting her blog for updates and video segments, and posting our comments as we discuss the book with one another.
You’ll see a blog post once a week, on Tuesday, to coordinate with the schedule Beth Moore has posted on her blog.
Before we begin, you’ll need to:
- Subscribe to this blog by email, so you’ll receive updates for the study.
- Order your workbook: Ruth: Loss, Love & Legacy by Kelly Minter. Last summer, the workbooks sold out due to the popularity of a Beth Moore study, so order early.
- Post an introduction below, telling us where you are located (city/state) and your blog or Twitter link.
- Just for fun, please tell us about your favorite summer meal.
My name is Christine and I live in Northern California, near San Francisco. You can follow me Twitter @LifeVerse and I blog here. My favorite summer meal is BBQ Teriyaki Chicken (my grandmother would soak this for 3 days), Spanish Fried Rice, and grandma’s macaroni salad. Her ice tea was the sweetest ever-a favorite summer meal that I’ve missed since my grandparents moved from the lake house. Maybe I’ll learn how to recreate this for my own kids!
My name is Meg and I live in Central Florida. I am a guidance counselor and mom of three boys. I am excited about summer time and can’t wait to dig into the Lord’s word. I am hoping to establish better spiritual habits that will not be pushed on the back burner when life gets school day hectic again. I am out of touch with technology so just figuring out how to comment here was a stretch.
My name is Susan. I’m not a blogger, But I love participating in the studies here on-line! My favorite summer meal – -my husbands pasta salad and most everything on the grill!
I am very excited about the summer Bible study, and have ordered the book! I am not sure anyone from my group of friends is up for this, so I am pleased to have discovered this site. My favorite summer food is chicken salad!
I’m finishing up the Daniel study right now just by myself on my ipod! I did the esther study (while commuting back and forth on the subway in ny, which was a good way to use my time!) a year ago and Im so excited to be doing another study!! And what a great idea to have an online community! Thanks!!
My favorite summer meal is, “shrimp on the barbie” since I’ll be back in Australia!! Its actually gonna be winter there when I arrive in our summer, so I’ll have to have figure out a favorite winter meal. =)
Just ordered the book because I saw it mentioned on Beth Moore’s blog and then I came over here to see which study you were going to be doing this summer – yea, the same one!
My favorite summer meal is probably a grilled steak and baked potatoes…not very original but my whole family enjoys it!
Hi Ladies,
I’m looking forward to this summer Bible study. I had seen it on-line and thought that it looked like a great study.
My favorite summer meal would have to be grilled chicken, potato salad (my Grandma’s recipe), corn on the cob, green salad with tiny red and yellow tomatoes, and apple pie!

Hello, my name is Misty. I am excited to be doing another Bible Study. I have never done one online before so it’ll be a new experience for me. I was saved when I was very young and for a long time, I had been hit and miss with my relationship with God. I am happy to say that I have since recommitted myself to actively pursuing a closer relationship with my Creator, and I am looking forward to interacting with a group of women who share my beliefs.
My favorite summer meal is BBQ ribs, fresh corn on the cob, baked beans, baked potato, and homemade strawberry ice cream or a big ole slice of watermelon….yum !! I am just a country gal from a small town in the mountains of North Carolina.
Loving the Priscilla Shirer study and very excited to participate in the upcoming Beth Moore study. I am so thankful that I found the Bible Cafe – it has been a great help to me in studying the Bible and understanding how my relationship with God should be. I live in Deer Park, Texas which is close to Houston and my favorite summer food would be grilled chicken and sausage, baked potato and any kind of grilled veggie. Fresh fruit and cool whip for dessert would just about top that off.

Hello everyone! My name is Rachel and I am from Tulsa (area), Oklahoma! I am a mother of three little sweeties and married to a wonderful man! I am really excited about this bible study! I work in the evenings just late enough to miss all of the local bible study groups so I am so happy to have found you all! I am a first timer so this should be interesting! My fav. meal anytime of year is salmon patties (made by my dad only) and semi home made mac and cheese (the really good kind made with a block of velveeta). =) God bless everyone can’t wait to hear more from all of you!
Good Evening everyone, I am Rachel’s mother and I live in the Seattle area. I am the Nana of Rachel’ three beautiful children. We are excited to be in a Bible study together. I was raised in a fundamental Christian home and as a child thought being a Christian was all about what one should not do. Praise the Lord as an adult I have learned my God loves me even though I am not perfect. And being a Christian is all about showing the world around me the love of Jesus. I may be the only example of Jesus in someones life. I look forward to reading your thoughts as we journey together through this Bible study. May the Lord Bless you today and tomorrow and until He returns.

Hello Everyone!
I’m Leah, from Owensboro, Ky. I’ve never done an online study before.
I lead a Women’s Bible study group and we usually do the Beth Moore studies.
Most recently we have done Breaking Free, the new one…which was AWESOME!
And this past Friday we finished up one by Priscilla Shirer.
I look forward to this one. Keeping focused on God’s Word throughout the summer break is difficult for me. By staying in the Word though a Bible study, I feel closer to God, and on track.
I’m so glad I found this site. Off to look for the Ruth book this week!!
Many blessing to you all!
Hi, Leah. I’m also from Owensboro, KY. I’ve never done an online study before and don’t really know how to get started. Hopefully by the time June 22 rolls around, I will have figured it out!!

Hello, My name is Mary, I was praying today on how I can find a bible study for women. I am a single woman going on 6 years now. Divorced, not by choice. But thats another story. I have wonderful children and grandchildren. I want to nourish this need I have for being closer to the Lord. Single women have a hard time finding friends they can actually talk to. Thank you for this study I am looking forward to it. In Jesus’s name . Amen
Hello all!
My name is Debbie, and I live in Warren, Oregon. I’ve been scoping out this site for a few months just waiting for the right time to jump in and get my feet wet- and now is the time!
We moved here just a little less than 2 years ago after living in Camarillo, CA for over 20 years, and it has been hard connecting and making new friends (so I can relate to Mimi’s post!). I am excited to be a part of this study and getting back into God’s Word.
Blessings to all of you sisters in Christ! Debbie

I am so excited, I have been doing the Breaking Free study alone.I did not know about the Bible cafe. I signed up for the summer Bible Study;Ruth. I can’t wait. This comes at a perfect time for me.

This Bible study will keep me grounded in the Lord and in the Word. Thank you Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, I am thrilled to have found you via Twitter! My name is Sari and I live in Greenville, SC. I am a separated Mom -praying for a reconciliation- to two children – my daughter is 15 and my son just turned 4.
I have been separated for a year this week and have clung tightly to God and His Word, His strength.
I am looking forward to joining you all and getting to know you better.
Favorite summer meal would have to be a feta cheese and watermelon stuffed pita sandwich with big chunks of homegrown “ugly” tomatoes on the side.
(I am part Finnish partGreek)..
YAY! So glad to have stumbled upon this group! My name is Karen I live in Texas. We are moving this summer (within the great state) so this online group is just perfect for me. I have 2 children, blake-20 and baily-16, I am considering involving my daughter in the study…concerned that she’ll see it more like ’school work’ than a meaningful study, still praying about that
) Favorite summer meal is anything grilled!!
Hello My name is Lil. ‘m so glad I get to make an attempt at another bible study. I am between jobs and live in Los Angeles so this is the perfect time to do a bible study.

Other favorites sweet corn, potato salad and mac and cheese and maybe some beef brisket with ice tea or lemonade. Yum yum yum.

A group of ten of us have ordered books and are excited about this summer study. My favorite summer meals consist of anything prepared fresh and on the grill, then dining al fresco and staying outside until it is so dark that I can’t read outside any longer.
I am looking forward to this. I am from….Mississippi Gulf Coast. I have not done an online study before so I hope the computer end of this will not give me any trouble. I sent an e-mail to all my friends to join with me.
My favorite summer food is ICE CREAM, but I love the fresh berries too and any thing you make with berries!!!!!!
Hi Anna,
I’m from Hattiesburg, not too far from you. Hope you’re having a good summer!
I just moved to Charlotte from Ga and I’d love some online fellowship here. I have 3 kids and I’m short on time. My favorite summer meal is grilled chicken salad with crumbly cheese, toasted nuts, and dried cranberries…yum!
Christine,
Is there a video component to the Bible Study to download or watch?
Kelly Minter does not have an audio/video for this study. Beth Moore is leading the study and will post a video on her blog, I’ll let you know when they are posted and provide a link for you. Eventually we’ll include a blog-talk format, however it will not be available for the summer study, only future studies.
I just found this!!!GloryBe! I have no idea how to do this but, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! I am Becky Hat from Magnolia, Arkansas. I love to study God’s word! Can I get this book from Lifeway? My favorite summer meal….well, whatever anyone else cooks because I can not!!
Hi all – I”m Debby, in San Antonio TX. I’m so excited to find this online study – I’m 53 and have lived outside God’s will for 30 of those years. After begging God for a mentor a year ago, a dear friend found me on Facebook and invited me back to church. I feel like I’m catching up for all the time I’ve missed.
Favorite summer meal – anything anyone else cooks!!! steak, hamburgers on the grill, my cold cucumber/avocado soup, and a constant supply of iced tea.
I’d love to find a group in San Antonio to do this study with.
