![]() ![]() It really all started with this book.įrom Amy: I had the privilege of joining my sister-in-law and her girlfriends last week as they studied this book. ![]() The next study included many new faces, many of who had never set foot in church in their lives, who not only came to accept Christ but now lead our neighborhood study after I’ve moved. The book pointed us straight to God’s Truth and His Character, which gave us the courage we needed. It was during this study that I felt challenged to ask the women to each invite three new people to the next study. The scripture and the insights in this study were easy to tailor to “church ladies”, “newbies”, and the “I’m just here for the free cake” people in the group. Lysa TerKeurst, in her notably winsome way, meets women where they are and graciously leads them toward a place of daring to be different. We wanted to quit being the women who were satisfied in going to bible study, going home, and never really doing anything with our knowledge. We saw growth spiritually, but it had been a while since we stretched our boundaries. I had a comfortable group of six to eight women who attended for a couple years. This review is very personal, because this book revolutionized the bible study I was leading. So let me start by reviewing a book that really changed the course of my neighborhood Bible Study, Lysa TerKeurst’s Becoming More Than a Good Bible Study Girl. We want you to feel like How To Love Your Neighbor always has your back. Other times, however, I get overwhelmed with the choices and unsure how I will have the time to review them all. Sometimes, I feel like I can’t find anything to suit the needs of my friends…often because they are all in a different stage of their spiritual walk. It has been my experience, though, that finding good studies for groups is very difficult. ![]() Combine that with this ministry’s obvious love of community and what do you get? Communities of people studying the Word of God. One of the things Amy and I are passionate about is studying the Word of God. ![]()
