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.

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.

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...

We have used this book for our Women's Book Study this year, covering one chapter per month. It has been a wonderful source for learning, faith sharing, and growing in love with our families, our selves, and those around us. Highly recommended for group study or individual!!!

We recently started a Women's Bible Study group in our parish. We searched for a Catholic bible study guide that we could use along with the Bible and "Catechism of The Catholic Church". We started using "Courageous Love" by Stacy Mitch and it has worked out great. There are other books in the Courageous Studies for Women series that we plan to use when we complete this one.

I received this book fast, in great shape and cheap! These series by this author are wonderful for a women's bible study!

Arrived on time and in good condition. Have only just started it but a very nice self led Bible study.

I am really enjoying the study. I would recommend it, HOWEVER, the formatting on the Kindle is very poor, hence the 3 star rating.
