What would you say?
John 13–17 records Jesus’ last words to the disciples before His death, revealing what was most important to Him. When we study those words and prayers today, we enter deep into the heart of Jesus and come away changed: overwhelmed by the love of God, inspired to follow Him, and empowered to spread the gospel.
His Last Words is an 7-week Bible study that plumbs the depths of Jesus’ final teachings to the disciples. It features:
Jesus’ last words are words of eternal life—powerful and full of love. If you’ve been longing for more intimacy in your relationship with God, more meaning in your life, and more boldness in your witness, His Last Words will draw you into just what you need: the Word of God.

My Rating: 
As a lover of the gospel of John -- no seriously it's my favorite book of the Bible -- I just had to check out this Bible study for myself. First off, I loved the personal touch that Kim included by sharing her story of her 3 year old. That touched my heart. I thought it was a great way to dive into the study of the Jesus' last words. This is a Bible study that focuses more so on writing and journaling, but it helps you to really understand and breakdown the scriptures for better understanding.
This is a beautiful 7 week study that has 5 days of work each week. Though this a study of John 13-17, you will find that she dives into other parts of John as well. Days 1-4 you begin with a specified reading from John and then a chart to fill out that includes the scriptures and an area to write down what it tells you about God. I think that is a great way to bring the purpose of scripture back to it's main focus -- God. Following that there are some questions to reflect on the scripture and really get your mind going about it. Questions range from reading other scriptures in the Bible to personal ones. After that you close it out with a prayer. For day 5 you review, reflect and pray.
At the end of the week there are discussion questions that I think are perfect for journaling about or if you want to study along with other women you know. These questions are a bit more personal and even include reading more scriptures.
I think this is a Bible study that should be one your shelf. It's organized, personal and contains a lot of scripture to help you understand the text of John 13-17. I plan to lead a women's Bible study in July on the gospel of John, so I am excited to share this study with the ladies that are going to join me. Definitely a great buy!
