Who Do You Say That I AM? by Becky Harling {Bible Study Review}


Title: Who Do You Say That I AM?

Author: Becky Harling

Series: Standalone

Age: Adult

Genres: Christian, Non-Fiction, Bible Study

Publication Date: February 6, 2018

Publisher: Moody Publishers

Source: Review copy sent


Synopsis: 
Do you know Jesus as He really is? 
We can speak in abstracts all day long. We can ponder who Jesus is and what it means to follow Him. But he wants our confession. He wants to know, “Who do you say that I AM?” 
How we answer defines our lives both now and forever. This study in the “I AM” statements of Jesus will help women move from knowing about Him to knowing Him personally. Guiding them through significant questions Jesus asks in the Gospels—and the answers He himself provides—it will help readers:
  • Realize the truth of who Jesus really is
  • Grow in their ability to trust God and rely on Him fully
  • Find the calm and peace promised in Scripture despite life circumstances
Becky Harling has years of experience as a Bible teacher and women's ministry leader. She empathizes with women and knows how to make Scripture come alive. Who Do You Say that I AM? will draw women deep into the Word for a true encounter with Christ, helping them become more confident, calm, and courageous in the faith.
My Rating: 
 
Becky Harling is a new author for me. I've never heard of her or read any of her work prior to getting this study. Two things immediately pulled me to this study. The purple wash of color because it screams royalty and the subtitle of the book:
A fresh encounter for deeper faith.
That subtitle just clicked with my spirit because my word of 2018 is Faith so I knew I needed this study and I am so glad that I got it as a review copy. This is a fairly new study as it came out last month. If  you're familiar with the New Testament, specifically the gospels (Matthew-John), Jesus tends to bring up the question "who do you say that I am?" a lot to his disciples and those around Him. I knew this would mainly be a New Testament Bible study, but it does have some scripture references to the Old Testament. 

 This is an 8 week study that goes 5 days a week giving you 2 days to catch-up or meditate on what you've done throughout the week. This study is set up as follows: each week focuses on a question that Jesus asked examining the scripture. From there she gives what she calls "homework" in four parts:
  • Explore which is a guided study of the scripture(s).
  • Reflect which focuses on personal growth. This part is all about being honest and authentic with yourself and God.
  • Memorize which sounds as it says -- a scripture or scriptures to remember.
  • Praise which encourages you to praise Christ.
This study is simply amazing and the purple just adds to the awesomeness. I highly suggest this beauty to everyone.

VOTW | Isaiah 41:10 - Ever Present Help

Good morning Gems (& Gents)! This past weekend has been insane in both a good and scary way. I experienced something frightening, but in that situation I felt a sense of peace and contentment that I'd never would have experienced before if my relationship with God wasn't where it is now. As I was thinking of a verse for this week, I came across this one from the book of Isaiah and I knew this was it: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Such a small, yet powerful verse. This is a command and a promise from our Father whether we are in times of despair or in seasons of gladness. Though told this to the people of Israel, this verse is still true to His children today. Let's start off by breaking down some of the words in this verse shall we: Fear : the Hebrew word is  yare' meaning to cause to frighten ( affright ); to make or be afraid;

DOI Book Club - Fervent by Priscilla Shirer

Good morning Gems! Today, I'll be sharing with you all one of the exciting things I'll be starting in March and it's a book club! I polled on Facebook and Instagram and had you all vote and the winner was a no-brainer! This is the first Book Club that I’ll be hosting ever and I am so excited. Fervent by Priscilla Shirer won hands down! We’re jumping into the topic of prayer and I’m a big person on reading and learning all that I can about prayer. I don’t know about you all, but my prayer life has its ups and downs. Now for those of you who don’t know, Priscilla Shirer is the actress from the movie War Room ( which I HIGHLY recommend ). She wrote a book for woman based off of the movie. Here’s bit of what to expect from this phenomenal book: “You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t gene
