5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening!, May 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Courageous Love: A Bible Study on Holiness for Women (Paperback)

I searched quite a bit for a bible study for women that would meet the needs of my Catholic faith. I first purchased this book for my own personal use. Each lesson builds on the prior lesson and includes scriptural passages and assigned readings. Each lesson is more thorough than I had thought, but not overwhelming or extraordinarily time consuming. Time is a critical factor for most women, and this seemed to be just right. After joining a Catholic Motherhood Prayer Group, I was approached about putting a Bible Study together...I pulled this book out and submitted it to 23 other women for their review. All of them unanimously voted to go forward with this, and our local priest and spiritual director was impressed with the contents. It was decided that the group would use this book for the Bible Study. It was thorough, complete, accurate, well organized and easily managed.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Catholic women!, July 16, 2001

This review is from: Courageous Love: A Bible Study on Holiness for Women (Paperback)

It's wonderful to find a women's Bible Study out there written specifically for Catholics. There are some good Protestant ones out there, but their "slant" is not always close to the Magisterium's. Besides, where apart from a Catholic Bible study are you going to find comments that include the sacred tradition, Mary, and the Magisterium? Highly recommended for women at any stage in their life who are wondering about holiness, their faith, and trying to draw closer to God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome study that involves scripture, Catechism, and Saints, February 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Courageous Love: A Bible Study on Holiness for Women (Paperback)

If you are looking for a complete bible study (that's not just for woman) this is the book... It pulls in scripture, the cathechism of the Catholic Church, Saints writings, and future Saints writings... There are 8 woman in my group -- we meet every other week and take about 1 1/2 hours to go through 3 questions. Most chapters have about8 or 9 questions... You can do it on your own, too...
