5.0 out of 5 stars Faith, Simple Faith, April 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Strengthening Your Faith (Paperback)

As the book states in the beginning, "If faith is supposed to be simple--or childlike...why do we struggle so to have it?". AMEN! Faith is a topic that seems easy to discuss but difficult to apply. This six week study takes the examples of six types of faithful women in the Bible and how their faith made a difference. Learn about "Extravagent Faith" through the Woman of Ill Repute; "Laughing Faith" through the example of Sarah; "Unwavering Faith" through the story of Mary Magdalene; and "Intimate Faith" through Elizabeth.

Each woman has very different experiences. And each has a very different approach. But all of them show the power of faith in their lives. And they all set some great examples for how we are to live.

Although created as a group study guide, this series easily adapts to a personal devotional time. Through in-depth scripture study and life applications, this is one series that can change your life.

This review is from: Strengthening Your Faith (Paperback)

This was the first Bible study booklet that I used for a weekly lunch-hour Bible study for women at my workplace. The women were thrilled to have a study just for them, and soon we had a dozen women signed up for the study.

This study on Faith was creative. The discussion questions were probing and thought-provoking. And the Friendship Booster activities, while we had to admit some of them to our lunch-hour, workplace format, were a lot of fun.
