The Case for Christmas Bible Study Guide + Streaming Video, Updated Edition: Evidence for the Identity of Jesus
On Sale: September 9, 2025
In The Case for Christmas Bible Study, led by New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel, participants will dig into the true Christmas story to sort out the fact from the fiction and the hype from the holiness. This Bible study will help them reflect on the gospel story of the birth of Jesus in a focused and group-oriented way that will change the way that they view the season.
During his faith journey, Lee Strobel investigated the real meaning behind all the nativity scenes he saw outside of churches. He explored the evidence that Jesus was a real person in history who was born in a real place, that the Incarnation (birth of Jesus through the Holy Spirit) actually took place, and how Jesus’ miraculous birth was in fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. In The Case for Christmas Bible Study, Lee reveals the discoveries made after consulting with experts on the Bible, archaeology, and messianic prophecy as he sought to separate the truth from the tradition.
Regardless of whether the center of your Christmas decorations is the nativity set on your mantle or the presents under the tree, The Case for Christmas Bible Study invites you to look beyond the familiar traditions of the season, challenging you to examine the evidence for yourself and consider why Christmas really matters and why it’s still so relevant today.
Rahab, Hagar, and Naomi Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video, Updated Edition: How Three Women of the Bible Help You See Yourself through God’s Eyes
On Sale: September 9, 2025
How does everyone else see me? • How do I see myself? • How does God see me?
These women in the Bible asked the same three questions we still ask today. In this 12-session video study (video access included), you’ll see how the stories of Rahab, Hagar, and Naomi reflect our own lives and what we can learn about ourselves from them.
Throughout this study, these women step out of the pages of Scripture to walk with you through your own story with three powerful teaching methods:
- Live action dramatic interpretations that invite you into the biblical stories in a unique way.
- Bible teaching from a trusted pastor or Bible teacher.
- Character relations and reflection with a licensed Christian counselor and therapist.
This is an invitation to see how God’s story includes you. Let Rahab, Hagar, and Naomi guide you to a stronger, more personal relationship with Him.

Zechariah, Haggai, and Malachi: A Call to Rebuild
On Sale: September 16, 2025
Hope in God’s presence, purposes, & promises
Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi may seem like lesser-known figures, but their voices were vital during a time of profound upheaval and longing for God’s people. Speaking to the Jews after their return from Babylonian exile, these prophets encouraged a nation struggling to reclaim its faith and identity amidst foreign domination, economic hardship, and spiritual discouragement. Haggai and Zechariah called the people to rebuild the temple, and all three of these minor prophets implored the Israelites to restore wholehearted devotion to God.
Through practical challenges and hopeful promises, these twelve studies reveal that even in difficult seasons, God’s steadfast love and purpose never waver. By exploring Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, you will discover timeless truths of God’s faithfulness, justice, and the anticipation of Christ’s coming.
The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. Each guide incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Word of God with guidance from John MacArthur.
