Living a life “wholly devoted” to the Lord almost sounds like mission impossible, unattainable and unrealistic. Surely God was just suggesting devoting ALL while knowing we would still firmly grasp some measure of self-devotion in this lifetime. This eight week study is based on 1 Kings 8, and addresses issues of the heart such as idolatry, forgiveness, and defeating the sin cycle and offers practical ways to guide the distracted heart to becoming a wholly devoted one.
At first glance Yankee born Sheryl Vasso and Southerner Cammy Tidwell make an unlikely pair. Sheryl, who holds a Doctorate of Education from Immaculata University, has spent the last several years traveling the world as a professor of teachers enrolled in graduate studies. Currently, she is Chair of the Master of Science and Education Program at Philadelphia Biblical University and thrills to incorporate God’s Word into every classroom discussion. After pursuing her own Master’s of Combined Sciences from Mississippi College, Cammy found that marriage and motherhood took her out of the “professional world” for a while although she never once stopped studying, learning and teaching God’s word.
A close look, however, shows similarities far outweigh their differences. They are devoted to their families, and they both love words. It was through “words” that Sheryl and Cammy met when Cammy first heard Sheryl as a speaker. A few months later Sheryl was in the audience when Cammy spoke. Not long afterward, an incredible friendship began and a partnership was born. Now they share the speaking platform and their words in print on www.wordsofworth.com.
Cammy and Sheryl have also published a month long devotional entitled, Word Wise.
