5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for women, June 20, 2001

By

This review is from: Breaking Free: Making Liberty in Christ a Reality in Life (Hardcover)

At the recommendation of a friend, I got this study and did it over several months on my own (it's designed for group study with video presentations- I just skipped the video notes). What a powerhouse of a study! It's not a line-by-line or even chapter study of Isaiah, but takes up the theme of the Isaiah passage which Jesus used to open his ministry: I have come to set captives free. Beth Moore points out that she'd always thought that was a verse about salvation until she realized how many areas of bondage she had in her life after being a believer many years. As she defines it, bondage is whatever keeps us from experiencing the kind of life God intended for us. The questions she asks and principles she explains are simple, but walk you through the process of glimpsing the kind of life God meant for his children, seeing the ways we've been hindered from experiencing that fully, and learning to "break free" through believing and walking God's promises. One of the jewels of this study is a section on how God wants to free women from bondage to the lies of our society and to our own hurt and unforgiveness, first by looking at women's girlhood dreams. Dreams we may have put aside as childish or unrealistic: to be beautiful, fruitful, to be a bride, etc. Why would God give us those dreams if they're going to go unfulfilled or be tarnished? Moore shows from Scripture that it's because they're meant to be ultimately fulfilled in Him. This is not just a Bible study for women, however. "The glorious freedom of the children of God" is our birthright and we can live it in reality! I can say I moved closer to that reality as a result of this study.

5.0 out of 5 stars The WORD as rehab, May 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Breaking Free Workbook: Making Liberty in Christ a Reality in Life (Paperback)

I began this study as a deeply depressed and cynical chain-smoking alcoholic with a marijuana addiction that had been passed down in my family for generations. I completed the study free from drugs, alcohol, tobacco and even more importantly, free from bitterness and shame. Jesus is completely satisfying, and Beth's passion for God is contagious.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want more...., November 4, 2002

If you have felt that Bible studies just haven't gone deep enough for you, or maybe you're tired of hearing the same old things in women's studies, this book is for you. Many women in our church are going through the workbook version of this book and all agree that there is power and truth in this study. It will take you deep into the Word...mostly old testament, especially Isaiah, but really all through the Scriptures. God has really blessed Beth with insights and the ability to pull powerful and life-changing truths from His word. The title, Breaking Free, Making Liberty in Christ a Reality, is right on, and what is inside does not disappoint. Again, I have experience with the workbook (which I don't see listed here)but the hardcover covers the same topics. There is a video series that goes with the workbooks, but much could be learned through the book even without the video. It's wonderful for group studies. Encourage your church to purchase the video series to use in small groups. You will not be unchanged!
