UP CALL!

Title: The Amazing Collection
Author: Pat Harley, Eleanor Lewis, Linda Sweeney,
Margie Ruether
Publisher: Big Dream Ministries
Length of Study: 66 weeks
Reasons I Liked It:
1. This journey through the entire Bible "book by
book" allowed me to see the "big picture" of God's Word. It gave
greater understanding when I began a single book study.
2. The four teachers are full of energy and passion
for God's Word. Each book has a woman's testimony that leaves you
rejoicing and an original music video that sends you away singing His
praise!
3. My group had seasoned believers, new believers
and those who never opened a Bible and we all saw it fit together in an
amazing way.
Title: Life in the Spirit
Author: Robertson McQuilken Mr. McQuilken is a gifted teacher who has passionately assembled Scripture and added insight to the often misunderstood and misrepresented Holy Spirit. This 10 week study is packed with to the point Scripture, practical instruction and structured applications throughout. I was truly blessed with his personal stories and gentle demeanor. This study should be a requirement on the list of every Believer’s study list. Toward the end of the 10 weeks, Mr. McQuilken encourages us to ask God for the greater gifts and to prayerfully set goals and purposefully put those goals into action. A very organized thinker with a humble heart for God – what a wonderful combination!
Title: Holiness: The Heart God Purifies Author: Nancy Leigh De Moss Publisher: Moody Publishers Length of study: 8 weeks Three reasons you liked it: 1: Study was convicting. It helped me see how important holiness is to God 2. It taught me how intentional we have to be about being holy. 3. It was easy to get others to participate in group discussion and everyone was prepared for the study. Title:

1) Beth is ON FIRE
in this study unlike any others I've seen her do.

3) She encourages
you to spend time in the WORD and pray daily the LORD will impart to you
supernatural wisdom and understanding.

and with the Lord

Title:
Wisdom for Mothers
Title:
Fingerprints of God
1. I am going through some difficult
times in my life right now and it has hit some places in my life that I
really needed to hear as I have listened to the lessons.
2. I like the length of the DVD's - they are short
enough to keep your attention yet long enough to get the point across.
3. Jennifer is so gifted and I love how she makes
things so simple and brings them down to earth.
Author: Nancy Leigh DeMoss & Tim Grissom
Publisher:Moody Publishers
Length of Study: 12 weeks
Three Reasons I Like the Study:
1) This study transformed my life from the inside
out.
2) During the course of this study, I was lead by
the hand into the very presence of a Holy God and have found myself
longing to be holy as He is holy.
3) It gave me a proper perspective on what revival
really is - a complete transformation of His Church, one heart at a
time.
Title: Walking in the Truth a companion study guide to "Lies Women Believe and the Truth That Sets Them Free" Authot: Nancy Leigh DeMoss Published by: Moody Publishers
Three reasons you liked it: 1. It was a twelve-week study but we actually allowed more time on certain chapters so that the women could fully discuss what was on their heart.
2. It was very powerful in the fact that it brings us back to the Divine design and plan of God. It was difficult at best as many of us have been so "steeped" in our culture and had a hard time eliminating all the "buts" and "what ifs". It was so very good at helping us to see Satan’s age old process of deception and through prayer we were able to apply that knowledge to twenty-two of the common lies that Christian women in American today fall into. As leader I had to keep reminding the women that Ms. DeMoss' intent was not to convince them of any particular opinion but to get them to study God's Word and allow God to open their hearts and minds to His Truth and then applying it to their individual lives as the Holy Spirit lead.
3. Many of the women gave testimony of how it had impacted them in positive ways although it was a struggle. But isn't that just like our Heavenly Father, not sparing the difficult or painful so that we will be more like Jesus! AWESOME!
Title: Captivating Author:John and Stasi Eldredge Publisher: Nelson Books Length of Study: Twelve Weeks Three Reasons you liked it: 1. It helped me understand my woman heart... what it desires and needs and why. 2. It lifts you out of the hum drum of drudgery and gives you the ability to see the significance of your life from His point of view. 3. Our ladies were impacted in different ways depending on where they were in their spiritual journey. Some understood for the first time how much God loves them and that they matter to God. Others discovered the reasons behind behavior they didn't understand and were challenged to seek further healing. Still others of us were drawn to become those that, by living out who we are in Christ with the world become living invitations, captivating, beautiful...warriors fighting for the hearts of those around us. We followed this study with the study "Waking the Dead; The Glory of a Heart Fully Alive", also by John Eldredge. Title:

Bible Study: *I would strongly recommend Breaking
Free by Beth Moore. I am presently going through it in my own personal study life
and it is the most awesome study I have ever done. I believe it is something
vitally important for women to know what it means to live freely in Jesus!! Bible Study: * Three Reasons I recommend this
study: 1) It has meant a lot in my life at this time. My husband and I are going to plant
a church; and although the study of Paul seems to be more suitable for
that (I'm doing it next), this one really has spoken to me and my situation before we
leave. 2) Even though it's long, I like that. 8 weeks would be better, but I like the
length of each day and the depth it has. I'm not one for the short paragraph
devotions out of a book. I like the meat of
God's Holy Word. This study gives you that. I've been tempted to go to the next day to
just do more and more. But one day has plenty
for you to digest and think on, and things in each day that God can really speak to you
about. 3) My eyes have been open more than
ever to the life of David and God's Word! It has been a tremendous experience. The life of
David has given me hope and encouragement, knowing that God will be there and His
timing is perfect! I've told everyone I know and talked about it in many of my
conversations with others. *Three reasons I liked it: 1) The
daily homework developed long term habits in the lives of the women. 2) The study was
focused, yet you felt you really knew the material thoroughly. 3) The material was geared
towards women and lended itself to good discussion. Bible Study: *Three Reasons I liked both A Heart
Like His and A Woman's Heart: God's Dwelling Place are: 1) Beth Moore is a very
spiritually gifted teacher. 2) The studies can be done either in video form or study
book form. Both studies can stand alone or be
done together (ie, watch the video one week and discuss the book the next, etc.). Other studies and reviews about Beth
Moore: *We continue to go back to Beth
Moore resources after trying other studies. *We have done and love all of
Beth Moore's Bible Studies Bible Study: * 1) Life-changing; 2) Takes you
into a deeper walk than you've ever experienced; 3) You find yourself craving the next
session to see what God will reveal to you.

Bible Study: Bible Study: Bible Study: Bible Study: Bible Study: I loved this study because: 1) it demystifies Revelation--I'd always just wanted to ignore the book except for reading Left Behind novels. I didn't see how it could apply to my life. 2) format--Scripture is taken in 5 personalized steps. 3) It is deep, life changing, giving you a format for study that can be translated to any book or passage of Scripture, and it applies the Scripture to my life and makes me do something about it!
