1.0 out of 5 stars Surface Material, July 9, 2010

I was disappointed in this study. I felt that the material was disjointed and lacked focus. The questions the study asked were leading and basic. It seemed that numerous questions were looking for pat answers. I read this book solo - maybe it would have helped if I had been part of a study group so the discussion could further the learning. As it stands, though, this book lacks depth and cohesiveness. I wouldn't recommend it.

I teach a womens Bible study and knew many of the girls were going through a lot of difficult changes & challenges. I was too. I got this guide to look over and could not put it down. We are doing it as a group now and we all love it. We feel it makes us open up, dig into the Word and discuss issues we as women are afraid to talk about. I highly recommend this to any womens Bible study as an excellent guide!

I have been part of many women's Bible studies in my life. This is definitely not one I would recommend. Although you were asked to look up many verses they didn't fit together or lead you to any conclusions. Verses also didn't really say what the author wanted them to say. Overall, very shallow. There are many studies out there that are of MUCH better quality.
