We All Long for Home
Home is difficult to define, but we all know it when we see it, smell it, hear it--or when we miss it. Our stories are full of homesick moments. Maybe that's why we look back to those perfect camp summers or blissful Christmas breaks. The good news is that there is a remedy for our homesickness. In this seven-session study, Caroline Saunders follows the theme of home through the Bible. From humanity's first home to our eternal one, we'll see God invitation to belong and be loved. We'll find that even the best aspects of home here are just a glimmer of what God is building for us through Christ.
This study will affirm that our longing for home is good and purposeful, pointing us to our truest home which is found in Him.

Caroline Saunders is a writer, Bible teacher, pastor's wife, and mother of three who believes in taking Jesus seriously and being un-serious about nearly everything else. She loves to serve at her church (it's not just the donuts), and every year, she retells the Bible's big story at a women's retreat that she and her friends offer local women through their parachurch ministry, Story & Soul. She's had the joy of publishing two Bible studies for teen girls (Good News: How to Know the Gospel and Live It and Better Than Life: How to Study the Bible and Like It), two picture books for kids ages 4-8 (The Story of Water and The Story of Home), and two retellings of selected books of the Bible for elementary readers (Sound the Alarm and Remarkable).

(And finally, let it be known that Caroline's kids said, "Mom can make a joke out of anything," and so she ran and added that to her bio.)
