This study is awful. The author tries to make good points however is completely unable to tie his point in with the scripture he references. Some of the questions are ok, but it's hard to answer them without the context of good scripture. I also didn't find that the titles of the studies were applicable to the study. Very poorly written....

The scripture being studied is included. However, sometimes the questions and the scriptures don't make a solid connection to the reader. Personal stories would help in making it more readable. Our small group was able to use the book as a jumping off point for more discussion though.

This is one of many books in a great series, from different authors. This study really challenges you, I think because of the subject matter. There are truly no easy answers when it comes to discernment, and this study does not back away from that, but takes it head on. Along the same lines is the following: My Heart--Christ's Home We have also done this study in my group and at this point I think I would recommend any of the books in this series, for their authenticity, depth, and for the fact that they are able to create transparency and challenge the study participants without being too labor-intensive. Two thumbs up!
