Introducing Seasons of God – Spirals of Life (2nd Edition)
October 1, 2023
A Letter to the Friends of Five Aspects Ministries from the Editor:
Seasons of God—Spirals of Life was first published in 2009 and presented by Barbara Mouser at a women’s conference. I attended the conference, and the teaching profoundly affected me and the way I approach Bible study. Seasons of God—Spirals of Life is a thematic Bible study that looks at the theme of seasons, specifically the language of seedtime and harvest, from Genesis to Revelation. The study develops 26 distinctive “Portraits of God,” which include: the Creator of the Seasons, the Landlord of Israel, the Lord of the Harvest, the True Vine, the Grain that Fell, and the First Fruit from the Dead. Practical application includes learning how to give and live life in harmony with God’s seasons for you, your family, and His world. Learn to worship God more articulately and profoundly by learning the language of seasons that He wonderfully develops in His Word. This second edition contains the original Preface and a new Preface from the author.
The first edition was written for women’s ministry. This second edition of Seasons of God—Spirals of Life has been adapted for a more general audience. It can still be used for women’s ministry, but it also can be deployed as a study tool for use in co-ed classes, Sunday school classes, home study groups, and for individual study. Our reasoning for this change is that we believe that thematic Bible study is an invaluable tool for learning the whole counsel of God, and yet it is rarely taught or presented in the Church. We are passionate about teaching Bible themes, and we want this work to be nimbler for use within the Church. This work is the first in our Thematic Bible Study Series that we are currently developing. More thematic works are currently in progress and will be added to the series as the Lord wills. In the meantime, I hope you all will consider learning the language of Seasons in Scripture.
In Christ,
