Esther Press Online Bible Studies and Book Clubs
Discover the Courageous Faith You’ve Always Wanted
Do you ever feel like you’re just going through the motions with your faith?
You’re so inspired by the incredible stories of Christians throughout history, but when it’s time for you to stand strong and courageously pursue God’s calling on your life, you shrink back in fear. You’re worried what others will think. You’re convinced you don’t have what it takes.
God didn’t create you for a life of fear. He created you for an exciting adventure.
It’s time to stop settling for playing it safe. It’s time to stop prioritizing comfort and convenience (either yours or others’) over the amazing, transformative life God has for you.
Here at Esther Press, we’re on a mission to challenge, encourage, and equip you to step courageously into wherever God is calling you today. Will you join us?
What Is an Online Bible Study?
An online Bible study is similar to an in-person Bible study or book club, except it takes place entirely online to fit your schedule.
You don’t have to find a sitter, get dressed up, or drive across town. You don’t have to coordinate schedules, take time off work, cook dinner early, or keep the kids up late.
With Esther Press online Bible studies and book clubs, you have the freedom to read the book at your own pace and participate in the discussion as much or as little as you like, whenever and wherever it’s convenient for you!
How Do Online Bible Studies Work?
Over the course of 5-8 weeks, you’ll read and discuss a new book or Bible study in our private Facebook group. Explore the book’s themes, connect with other women who truly get what you’re going through, and get exclusive content from the author!
Your online host will help guide the discussion, making sure you get the most out of the study possible. But of course, it’s up to you to put in the work. The more you participate in the online discussion and the weekly reading, the more these online studies will help you to grow in your faith and connect you with women who encourage each other to do the same!
Why Join an Esther Press Online Bible Study or Book Club?
When you join an Esther Press online Bible study or book club, you’re joining a group of supportive, Jesus-loving women committed to growing their faith through intentional action—and helping you do the same.
A few perks when you join with Esther Press:
- There’s no membership or sign-up fees. Simply purchase your book, and you’re good to go!
- All our groups take place on Facebook, so you don’t have to download an app, create another log-in, or figure out a new platform.
- You’ll benefit from a dedicated group host who will ask daily questions throughout the study to help you get the most out of the group.
- Our groups are focused on creating real life transformation so you’ll be equipped with doable action steps you can take to move your faith journey forward.
- We’re all about relationships. With Esther Press, you won’t go it alone. Connect with your group host, like-minded women, and even the book author in our small, tight-knit community.

Explore Our Newest 7-Week Study: Being Fully Known
Are you tired of letting your negative self-talk and limiting beliefs hold you back?
In this freeing book, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith uses her background as a physician, spiritual mentor, and coach to help us overcome the fear of vulnerability or rejection that keeps us stuck.
Being Fully Known blends Scripture, science, and story to offer insights into how we can:
- discover where we naturally fit rather than forcing ourselves to fit in.
- embrace the fullness of our identity apart from our assumed roles.
- overcome mental barriers that cause us to seek accomplishment over contentment.
- reconnect with the courage to live into what God sees in us.
- experience greater joy in our relationships, career, and creative expression.
Being Fully Known is a journey toward God-awareness, self-acceptance, and the fulfillment found in knowing we are seen and understood. Step into your God-given, joy-filled identity as you follow the mentoring of the Holy Spirit through this life-changing guide to being over doing.
