Free Bible Studies for Women

Christ-Focused Bible Study Guides by Melanie Newton

Free to download for personal use

Are you weary of Bible studies saturated with the author’s commentary? Would you prefer not to have to watch videos to do every lesson? You have come to the right place. Depending on flashy speakers and commentary-filled workbooks creates a dependence on people rather than on Jesus. You will not get that here!

Our Joyful Walk Bible Studies are:

  • Christ-focused, not personality-focused.
  • Bible-rich, not commentary-filled.
  • Grace-based, not legalistic.
  • Video-free, not video-dependent.
  • Easy to use, not leader-dependent.
  • For all levels of learning (including short and easy for beginners)
  • Designed to help you study the Bible for yourself
  • Are enhanced by our “Satisfied” podcasts and Joyful Walking blogs that offer additional application to many of the Bible study lessons.
  • In Spanish and other languages (some)

Studies are available in four formats:

What others are saying:

Thank you for your online studies and access. A lot of what I was seeing online were the author’s thoughts/explanations and some reflection questions, but little of God’s word. What a delight to come across your study guides where you direct the reader to open God’s word, ask questions for them to respond/reflect with a perfect injection of additional background information or encouraging comments to commend the reader that God wants the best for them! Thank you for directing people to God’s word, the best place for the Holy Spirit to speak to those who are truly seeking him. (Kim H.)

I am grateful that you write studies as you do. We are quite particular about the studies we choose. We don’t like a lot of what I call “commentary” in a study. We like to just keep to the Word of God. Thanking God for your gift of writing bible studies and your heart for the Word of God. (Mary A.)

Joyful Walk Bible Studies are Christ-focused and will teach you how to dig into the Bible for yourself and to depend on Jesus to help you apply what you learn from Him. Then, you can have a joyful walk, stepping through life with a satisfied heart.
