“This is the series I’ve been waiting for! These Conversational Commentaries are for every Bible study leader, small group facilitator, Bible teacher, and Bible study participant. Written by women, for women, these volumes help you engage deeply with Scripture, equip you for rich discussions, deepen your understanding of God’s word, and point you to Christ.”

Courtney Doctor

“The Conversational Commentaries series is a trusted companion for individual study or teacher preparation. I appreciate each author’s careful consideration of the original writer, document, and audience while keeping the language and format refreshingly accessible. These handy reference tools will be great additions to any theological library to return to repeatedly.”

Karen Hodge

“For those looking for an accessible and theologically robust commentary series, start here. These commentaries are informed, responsible, and God glorifying.”

Benjamin L. Gladd

“These commentaries are indeed ‘conversational,’ but they are not without great theological depth and exegetical rigor. I’m so grateful for these dear sisters in Christ—for their biblical wisdom, love for God’s word and God’s people, and desire to help fellow women of God dig into the glorious riches of Scripture. Many thanks to Lydia Brownback and Megan Hill for their editing of these immensely valuable resources!”

Jon Nielson

“Of the two ways to get into the ocean, wading in from a beach is preferable to being dropped in from a helicopter. If you’re not sure where to start in your study of the Bible, Conversational Commentaries will help guide you into the deep truths of God’s word step-by-step. Why stay on the shore?”

Gloria Furman

“This is the commentary series I wish I’d had when I started teaching the Bible. Trusted authors offer sound and accessible content for those wanting to deepen their study or strengthen their teaching. Whether you’re new to studying the Bible or you’ve studied it for years, you want this series in your library.”

Colleen D. Searcy

“Faithful, relatable, practical—Conversational Commentaries are the first books to pull off the shelf when you need to understand or teach the Bible, passage by passage. Equally valuable for personal study or public witness, the simple yet profound titles in this new series empower godly women to know, apply, and teach the Bible in life-changing ways.”

Philip Graham Ryken

“These Conversational Commentaries absolutely deliver what they promise. They read like a wise friend sitting across the table explaining the text verse by verse, answering the questions that most naturally arise. While they offer sound scholarship, they eschew an overly academic tone. And while they ably cover the entire text, they are helpfully concise. I will pull these volumes off my shelf again and again.”
