CAROL STREAM, Ill., June 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- The July issue of the Kyria digizine, available today, helps women gain an appetite for Scripture by highlighting the power of God's Word to transform lives.

Editor Ginger Kolbaba says, "This month's issue of the Kyria digizine is on the spiritual discipline of Bible study and meditation -- the practice of taking the time to deliberately let God's Word shape our minds and hearts. We want this issue to ignite in women a ravenous hunger to know God more deeply through his Word."

Featured is an interview with Pricilla Shirer, Bible teacher and author of One in a Million (Broadman & Holman). Shirer says that Bible study is approaching God's Word with expectation because it is illuminated by the Holy Spirit. "God will use one little verse that is inscribed on our hearts to speak to us in the regular rhythms of our lives."

The July issue of the Kyria digizine is available to members and features the following articles:
