~ Lenya Heitzig (Author), Penny Rose (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The Fresh Life series was created by women, for women who crave a profound experience of God's Word. Perfect for every age, appropriate for groups or individual study, and intended for today's on-the-go woman, these Bible studies require just 20 minutes a day for a meaningful contemplation of God's Word

In Live Deeply, women will dig deeper into the meaning of Jesus' parables to uncover their important meaning for their walk with Christ. Based on the inductive Bible study method, each lesson conjures vivid imagery of the sights and sounds of Ancient Israel alongside poignant application questions for today. There's something here for Christians of all shapes and sizes everyone will leave with a more profound understanding of Christ's amazing parables.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Bible Study of Christ's Parables, June 13, 2009 By  Stacey (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    "Live Deeply" and "Live Relationally" by Lenya Heitzig and Penny Rose are decent Bible studies! They are for all levels of student from the brand new Christian to the more seasoned believer. They are nicely written, contain wonderful quotes and information from commentaries and other sources. But there are sufficient typos in the text that change the meaning of questions and narrative. Still, these 10-week studies have 5 days of homework to draw the student into the Word of God - exactly where they should be! "Live Deeply" is a study of the parables of Jesus. After only a few days of studying, I am already seeing new patterns and the gospels are coming alive in a way they haven't in a very long time. "Live Relationally" is a study of several of the women found in the Old Testament book of Genesis. Knowing that other women have experienced what we have is encouraging. The fact that God chose to record these stories in His Word is a precious gift. These stories show us how to triumph from the tragic. I wouldn't advertise either study as a 20-minute per day commitment. These subjects are much too rich to be rushed through like that. You will find yourself wanting to reflect on these beautiful passages of scripture. The size of the books are a bit awkward, but these studies are wonderful. I highly recommend them for personal study or a women's study group at your church or work or wherever you pour over the scriptures with others. 4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent study, August 30, 2009 By  Janna R. Ryan (Nebraska) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    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!
