4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent study, August 30, 2009

This review is from: Live Relationally: Lessons from the Women of Genesis (Fresh Life Series) (Paperback)

First off - these books are beautiful! Bright and eye catching, they draw you right in and make you want to start reading. They are each a 10 week Bible Study, set up in 10 chapters with 5 days in each chapter and each day should take about 20 minutes. There are 5 parts to each day -

1) Lift up (prayers)
2) Look at (Scripture)
3) Learn about (the text)
4) Live out (personal application)
5) Listen to (wisdom)

These studies are wonderfully set up and I personally really liked Live Relationally - Lessons from the Women of Genesis. I'm fascinated by the women in the Bible and here we delve deeper into -

Eve, Noah's Wife, Sarah, Hagar, Lot's Wife, Rebekah, Rachel and Leah, Dinah, Tamar and Potipher's Wife - fantastic!

If you are looking for a good Bible study - personally or for a small group - this series is definitely one you should check out!

This review is from: Live Relationally: Lessons from the Women of Genesis (Fresh Life Series) (Paperback)

Although this is bible study takes you to Genesis, it is NOT about the women. It's focus is the men who are part of their lives. After our group completed we will not do another one in this series. Not enough about the Bible. Tired of the stories quotes etc.. NOT enough room to write responses. As the leader I had to add to the study each week.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well done, June 21, 2009

This review is from: Live Relationally: Lessons from the Women of Genesis (Fresh Life Series) (Paperback)

What a treat to review these books for you. These are two of a series of four studies for women, called Fresh Life Bible Study Series (David C. Cook), created by women to help you come away with deeper understanding of God's truths with doable 20 minute increments.

Live Relationally covers lessons from the Women of Genesis

Live Deeply is a study in the Parables of Jesus

Both offer 5 daily lessons, starting with a short anecdote, Prayer, Looking deeper in God's word, How to Live out what you learn, and short words to listen to perhaps from a meaningful quote. These are in a workbook format, easy on the eye to read. They really are well done, even the pretty details scattered throughout the books. I definitely hope to get the other two when done with these. Just their premise to LIVE Relationally and to LIVE Deeply are the heart cry for so many woman. Lets do it, you and me, ask a friend and encourage them that this can be the year to live on purpose.
