We had a very good study and lots of good group discussions.

This was a very great study and powerful in the lessons. If you are looking at this for a solo or group study, I highly recommend it! I did it without the video so you don't need hem bu I know they would add to it if you chose to get/watch them.


* added review for the book *

I read the book edition as well and wanted to leave a review for that one. It was set up differently than the study guide (just like a regular book) and it had questions to consider at the end of the chapters but not like the ones in the newest study guide. I also think I got some more out of it that was not covered in the study guide, such as the stories from her own life that she expanded on in this book.

Another great Bible study from Priscilla Shirer! Our group thoroughly enjoyed this one!

Excellent resource! Something I will come back and revisit.

Overall a wonderful study. This is my second study with Priscilla Shirer - I do the studies with my daughter - and both were completed during challenging seasons of my life. This was a season in which I found it so difficult to make time for the study, but my daughter and I kept going and we reaped much from our obedience to finish; sometimes one must crawl, cry out, fight to the finish line in order to reap much. I have a more solid understanding of the Spirit that truly resides in the current temple that is our body. It's one thing to say God's Spirit lives within, but another all together to learn how to be obedient to His call on our life, to listen for His leading, and to strengthen and personalize that relationship via the study of His word and prayer.

I have at most a few criticisms, yet they are weighted enough to drop the rating by 1 star. Both criticisms are preference-based, the first being the reference to the different bible translations used throughout this study, my wish being that teachers would use that one translation they like instead of also referencing additional translations. I look up all verses presented in a study, yet I don't have all translations, and I don't like to look up via my computer as I can become distracted if the computer is on. I would have also liked more blank space and/or more width to the page for writing out answers and verses.

This was such an excellent study on this topic. Highly recommend.

It only took me over a month to finish this! LOL!

Regardless of how long it took me, this was an absolutely WONDERFUL read. This spoke so much into my life, into my spiritual journey, and I am thankful to Priscilla Shirer for writing such an amazing book.

If you feel distant from God, if you want to experience Him more fully (no matter how much or little you currently experience Him), if you want to GROW in faith, read this book.
