Synopsis: 
What can God do with fifty days? 
In only fifty days Peter was radically transformed. He went from being a man in the shadows denying even knowing Jesus, to a man boldly proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus in the middle of the temple courts. How did the change occur? And more importantly, can such a change occur within us—today, in the here and now? 
For fifty days, I invite you to dwell in the first twelve chapters of Acts. Here we meet Peter face-to-face and encounter the source of his power. We become challenged to grab hold of that power ourselves, believing that God wants to do something in and through us that is unexplainable apart from Him. Let’s give God fifty days and see what He might do. 
The purpose of this study isn’t simply to reiterate a message. (You can find many studies on Acts.) Our purpose is to reignite a movement of the power of the Holy Spirit in each of us individually and in our churches collectively. Are you ready?
My Rating: 
Have you ever studied the book of Acts? If not, then An Unexplainable Life is a great new 10 week Bible study that examines the chapters 1-12 of Acts verse by verse. If you have studied Acts, then this Bible study is still an awesome one to have to restudy or test your understanding of it. I have never studied the book of Acts personally, but through my various studies, devotionals and reading books I've come across the books of Acts. I was very excited to get this book so that it could help me truly dive into the book of Acts.

This study focuses on living in the power of God as an individual and as a church. It's broken down into 5 days a week in which there is a set reading and then questions to answer following that reading. There are, of course, other scriptures to read from with more questions to further grasp the big picture of the scriptures and even a section to write out a prayer at the end of day 5.

It's full of biblical, theological and historical insight. It has the perfect balance of reading material vs. questions/journal entries. Erica does a phenomenal job making this a study that's great for all levels of Bible study. Whether you're a beginner or mature in studying your Word, this books sheds light on Acts. I think this is perfect as a personal study, but being that it's a study on Acts and it focuses on the Holy Spirit and the church, this would be great as a group study for sure.

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...

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;...
