Synopsis:
All spiritual disciplines take practice to incorporate into our daily lives, but two can be particularly difficult to cultivate today: simplicity and silence. We live in a time when so much is vying for our attention--noise has become our natural habitat and distraction is a common companion. But God encourages us to seek him and meet with him, uninterrupted. So how do we put these disciplines into practice?
This Bible study will help you focus on what the Lord is saying to you in the midst of the clutter of daily life. It could mean a reordering of priorities, but the take-away is worth it. Simplicity and silence are daily practices that will form the foundation for a life of spiritual fruitfulness.
My Rating:
Are you able to keep things simple and remain silent? I know for myself this a hard task. I don't like to be quiet, but I know in my relationship with God and that of Christ and the Holy Spirit, silence is a necessity. Sometimes being silent is the key to getting things done. This really makes you look at your life and change the areas that need to be changed to put these practices into real action.

This is a simple Bible study, but it's not a lighthearted one. If you cannot take being put in "your position" then this may make you cry. There were moments when I felt like I had a friend standing next to me yelling to have a more simple life and be comfortable in silence. I enjoyed the prayers the most for this study because they prompted me to really pray and speak with God about some important things I've held off on praying about.

This study is broken into two parts giving equal focus to both silence and simplicity. Each section has four chapters and each chapter is further broken down into a study, questions, things to ponder on, prayer, application and an important take-away. There are also a ton of quotes thrown throughout that are very insightful and very motivational.

This study works as a companion to the Everyday Matters Bible for Women so there will be references to articles from within the Bible. As a companion study to the Bible it allows you to get more use of the Bible and all it's features. I love the references to all of the articles within the Bible and how they help the Bible studies really allow for me to utilize the Bible more than I would have on my own.

I am so glad that they have combined simplicity and silence together into one study. Not only has it begun to help me grow in a massive way. This Bible study also has helped me get back into truly using my prayer journal. I truly love this Bible study and I cannot wait to finish it!!

Blessings,
