Wisdom of Women - A new series of video interviews with Disciples Women from across the life of the church premiered at the 2010 Quadrennial Assembly. Touching on everything from how and when they heard a call on their lives to balancing wife, motherhood and career - nothing is off limits. Each interview will consist of 60 to 90 minutes of conversation and wisdom, edited into 13 short six to ten-minute segments. A study guide with questions for reflection and conversation after each segment will accompany each DVD. The cost of each interview session is $29.95.

The DVD and study guide are designed to be used by women in any type of gathering. They may use it in groups, viewing one or more segments each meeting followed by discussion.
