The Bible. As believers we’re told to know it, treasure it, live it, share it, and guard it. But why bother with what some see as an antiquated relic? Why have people fiercely held on to it, even given their lives for its message?
You see, the Bible is the very word of God. The God who, with a word, spoke the world into existence. These words have been birthed from His heart, breathed by His mouth, and given to us through the hands of faithful men. Lay hold of these words and you begin to experience the transformative power of its message. Grow roots down into it and you’ll find sustaining nourishment and stormanchoring faith.
Rooted: Understanding the Power and Purpose of God’s Word, is a unique Bible study to help you secure deeper spiritual roots. By digging into selected Scriptures, you’ll learn about God’s sacred love for you, recognize the value and worth of Scripture, and apply practical truths for powerful living.
Using an inductive study method you’ll ground yourself by:
• READING six specific historical accounts from Scripture
• RELATING to the culture and context of God’s Word
• REFLECTING on these passages so you can live out God’s principles
• REMEMBERING the lessons through simple memorization and compelling narrative
So let’s get rooted in the Word . . . because deep roots ground us.

LeAnne Blackmore is a Bible loving, cookie baking, ping-pong playing, yankee-gone-southern girl. Originally from Michigan, LeAnne moved to east Tennessee where she met her husband Ron at Milligan College. Married nearly three decades, with two children and a daughter-in- law (whom they adore!), the Blackmores have lived everywhere from Missouri, to Florida, to Turkey. Coming full-circle, they settled back in Tennessee, but not without a few stories to share. The story she loves to tell most, though, comes straight from the pages of Scripture. A veteran Bible teacher and conference speaker, LeAnne’s ultimate desire is for others to know God by knowing His Word.
