I am a new christian and find this book speaks to me through the writer's words. I am finding myself anxious each day for the time to draw near to God through this author's words. I have never read any of her other books. I find this book makes me look at my life like I have never looked at it before. It makes me look at God as I have never dreamed possible. I am ordering 15 copies of this book and we are going to have a 9 week devotional on character at my church on Tuesday nights. I have showed it to other members of my church (only 98)and all interested will be taking the class with me. Whether you are now a christian or just became a christian I think most all would feel the same way after reading only the first chapture. You can not get enough of it.

This book is second to none when it comes to challenging you in your spiritual growth. I was really put to the test on do I live what I believe. Kay does a fabulous job with teaching you what is means to live a Godly life

This book has changed the way I now study the bible. When someone else is reading/teaching out of the bible, I am much more aware of the full understanding and I want to study it in an inductive way. I have never read the bible or studied references like I do now: since reading this book.

I knew when I ordered this study I would be facing a great spiritual challenge and I am. As a christian I know of the Sermon of the Mount and it's great blessing but this study digs very deep and very deep into my walk with Jesus. It was a painful journey at first and very humbling, even unto tears, but there is great joy in these beatitudes that I had been missing. If you want the "truth" about God and your heart, then prepare yourself for a great study!

Kay Arthur is an amazing author that is truely blessed by God. Having grown up in a home that didn't have God and was completely in the ways of the world, I discovered I need to do a lot of changing once I became a Christian and this book has totally helped me to not only discover the changes I need to make, but the scriptures I need to read to help me make the changes. I have since bought several more or her Bible Studies and cannot wait to get into them.

Our Bible study group began this book in late fall 2007. We were looking for something that would encourage our spiritual growth, and one that would allow for sharing our insights as we studied together. This has probably been the best study we've done together - it's created an excitement in meeting, and there has been real growth - spiritually and numerically as well. It opens Scripture in a unique and thoughtful way, causing the members to really think about it.

I am currently using this book in a women's Bible Study group. All of us (ages 32-41)love this book!! We appreciate the way it leads you to the Scriptures to find truth for yourself instead of being told what to think through commentary. The amount of homework is appropriate for busy working ladies/moms and stay-at-home moms. I usually spend 30 minutes or less, 5 days a week studying. The discussion questions for our group are very thought-provoking and relevant. I would highly recommend this book.

I am doing this study for the third time. This study has changed my walk with the Lord. Kay Authur is an amazing teacher. This study is easy fast and deep. Don't miss it if you are a Christian.

The title says it all, but the book is a stepping stone to getting where HE wants us to be!

I ordered this book for a women's bible study at my home. I have done 2 other "Lord" series books, but I have to say that this one has been my favorite so far. Because its the actual teaching and words of Jesus, I feel like the Holy Spirit is penetrating my heart with His Word. Though I've been a Christian for many years, I know that God is teaching me something huge through this book - what it really means to allow Him to be the Sovereign Lord of my life, and how humility plays a huge role in my Christian walk. The other thing I love about Kay Arthur's bible study "books" are that they are 90% bible and 10% of her own thoughts - I respect that about this author, she really allows God to use her in a mighty way to teach His Word and to encourage us "lay people" to recognize that God can speak directly to us through His Words and we are capable of hearing His message directly from him, not just from our pastors, teachers or commentaries.
