Almost every church—large or small—has a women’s retreat. While Bible study should always remain the core of any quality women’s ministry, Scripture- centered retreats provide a unique opportunity for women to hear back-to-back life-changing messages, live in the midst of authentic community for several days, and get away for fun and fellowship. Annual retreats provide a perfect forum to address relational needs, take time away from busy jobs and homes, and focus on knowing God.

In addition there are new retreat formats to consider: retreats can highlight prayer and solitude, training, or fit a special audience such as singles, working women and mothers and daughters. God has given women creative gifts and retreats are an excellent place for women to use them. In our book, we will show how to combine art, drama and worship to complement biblical themes. We will actually take five or six themes and bring them alive with "how to" instructions that women can adapt to their setting.

“Our retreats are the ‘not-to-be-missed’ event of each year and we owe it all to the very women in this book and the very information you will read in its pages.”
JoAnn Hummel, Pastor to Women, Bent Tree Bible Fellowship

“Everything you need to produce a weekend filled with humor, hope, fun, friendship, and biblical truth is in this book, along with financial, logistical, and spiritual wisdom.”
