Looking to deepen your relationship with Christ this summer? Pick up one of these summer Bible studies to read while laying poolside.
Below is a list of 10 summer Bible studies—carefully curated by ABIDE women, for ABIDE women.
1. With Us in the Wilderness by Lauren Chandler
This is the perfect summer’s women’s Bible study. It contains 7-week group sessions as well as personal study segments. It is suitable for small groups and covers topics such as the Book of Numbers, stories of rebellions, and the Old Testament.
2. The Armor of God by Priscilla Shirerr
Looking for women’s Bible studies with videos? I strongly recommend a 6-week study book called The Armor of God. It’s fun. It’s suitable for small groups. Moreover, it not only explains biblical stories but also teaches Christian women how to secure victory in life battles. A very important read this summer!
3. Seamless by Angie Smith
What is the best Bible study to start with, you asked? It’s definitely Seamless. This book walks you through the Scripture and explores overarching, fundamental themes. It contains 6-week personal study sessions and questions for small groups. Plus, it comes with teaching videos!

4. When You Pray by Kelly Minter and More
“Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle,” said the 6 authors of When You Pray. This 6-week Bible study will take you through the journey of praying and help you overcome difficulties. It also comes with teaching videos and personal study segments, so you can choose whether to study it alone or in groups.
5. Abide by Jen Wilkin
This one is a given—how can ABIDE not recommend Abide? In this 10-session Bible study, author Jen Wilkin will guide you through 1, 2, and 3 John verse by verse. There are also teaching videos and personal sections for you to complete. Abide is a bit longer than other studies I recommended above, but trust me, it’s worth it.
6. Strength in the Struggle by Lauren Ibach
Strength in the Struggle is another Bible study perfect for ladies. It contains 10 lessons with Scripture memory verses, mainly teaching women how to let go of fear and anxiety. For ABIDE readers who’ve spent this summer fighting internal battles, I strongly recommend this book.
7. 12-Week Bible Study for Moms by Teresa Ann Criswell
Here at ABIDE, we welcome all kinds of women. We adore teen girls. We appreciate career ladies. And we love the moms. This 12-week women’s Bible study is for modern Christian moms who want to read something light and connect with God at the same time. It’s available online for free if you have Kindle Unlimited.
8. Surrendered by Barb Roose
“Let go and let God” is a phrase we’ve all heard so often. If we face a problem we can’t fix, isn’t it better to make peace with it and let God handle the rest? This 6-week women’s Bible study will teach you exactly how to do that, along with telling the story of Jesus in the wilderness.
9. Messy People by Jennifer Cowart
I don’t know about you, but I, for some reason, usually make mistakes and regrettable decisions during summer. That’s why I’ve found Messy People to be useful. This is a 6-week Bible study about imperfect biblical heroes, perfect for ladies who need healing. At the end of the day, our mistakes don’t define us.
10. Starved by Amy Seiffert
Last but not least, let me introduce you to the perfect Bible study for 2023. In Starved, author Amy Seiffert invites you to get closer to God amid the chaos of the modern world. The study contains 6 sessions on how to healthily practice Christianity and find genuine connections, while steering away from social media. Starved is perfect for both individuals and small groups.
