Before the Throne by Crickett Keeth {Bible Study Review}

Good morning Gems!!!

If you have followed me for years, then you know my passion for God's Word. Be it teaching, studying, reading or listening to a sermon-- diving deep is my love. Being able to find phenomenal Bible studies is always fun to do, so here's a review on a study that came out in March.

Title
: Before the Throne
Author: Crickett Keeth
Age: Adult
Genres: Bible Study
Publication Date: March 1, 2022
Publisher: Moody Publishers
Source: Paperback
Purchase: Paperback | KindleChristian Book | Moody Publishers
Synopsis:
Where do you go when life overwhelms you? Before the Throne.

God's people know they can turn to Him when times get tough. Instead of trying to fix things on our own, we can enter God's throne room in prayer. The access granted to us by Jesus our High Priest is our comfort when the world is turned upside down.

In Before the Throne, Crickett Keeth, author of On Bended Knee, offers a follow-up study of eight prayer warriors from Scripture who turned to God when times became difficult. You'll learn to pray with:

  • Moses in times of disappointment
  • The Psalmists in times of need
  • Jonah in times of disobedience
  • Hezekiah in times of battle
  • Habakkuk in times of questioning
  • Jesus in a time of intercession
  • Paul in times of hardship
  • Revelation saints in times of worship

Crickett's studies are known for taking you deep—then even deeper!—into God's Word. As you study these prayers, you'll be strengthened as you see how these godly Bible characters poured out their hearts to God and how He responded to them. You'll learn how to pray with the same power when you feel weak, helpless, stressed, or afraid. As you turn your focus toward God's character through prayer, He will supply the strength you need to face whatever is before you. Because that's the privilege you have when you come Before the Throne.

"Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:16

My Rating:
I was excited to hear that Crickett Keeth was coming out with a second Bible study focused on prayer. I enjoyed her first one, On Bended Knee, which focused on Prophet's Warriors and Kings from the Bible. I was definitely ready to grab a copy of this one. This is a follow-up to that study. I love that in this study we are diving into people such as Jonah, Habbakuk, Psalmists and even Jesus.

As per usual with Moody Publisher's womens Bible studies, the setup is always a breeze to get used to. With eight weeks and five days of work to do you can do this at your own  pace alone or in a group setting. The questions are deep and require you to not just think surface level, but go into the depths of your heart and mind. The study requires you to dive into scripture for self.

With pracitical tips, thought provoking questions and impactful tid-bits, you will learn so much about prayer and how useful and powerful it is. Be it difficult times or good -- prayer is essential to our walk. Keeth reinforces that through out this study with her examples from the Bible.

I highly recommend this if you're looking for a study that will go deep into prayer and if you're looking to grow, build or understand your own prayer life. You won't be disappointed!
Blessings,

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
