Bible Study Book Reviews: Live Relationally + Live Deeply
Here are two wonderful Bible study books that I am very excited to share with you, Live Relationally: Lessons from the Women of Genesis and Live Deeply: A Study in the Parables of Jesus. Just at first glance I liked these books because of their simplicity, the layout and bright coloured covers. Each 288 page book is set up as a 10 week Bible study, with 10 chapters and each chapter broken down to five days of study. Each day has these divisions, taking about 20 minutes to complete:
- Lift up (prayer)
- Look at (God’s Word)
- Learn about (new insights)
- Live out (application)
- Listen to (quotes from other believers)
Live Deeply: A Study in the Parables of Jesus helps one dig deeper into the meaning of the parables and uncover their important meaning for our walk with Jesus. Have you ever wondered the real meaning of the Parables? This book will help you to search and understand and apply it to your life.
Live Relationally: Lessons from the Women of Genesis looks at the women of Genesis – Eve, Noah’s Wife, Sarah, Hagar, Lot’s Wife, Rebekah, Rachel and Leah, Dinah, Tamar and Potipher’s Wife. These women have experienced what women in our day have as well; death, marriage, divorce, rape and family tragedies.
These books were written by two women, Lenya Heitzig and Penny Rose, with the intentions of these Bible study books to be for women. These are ideal for women to use individually and/or for Bible study groups and do not need to necessarily be age segregaged. I also believe, as a homeschool mom, these would be ideal to use for older highschool children. Of course, Live Relationally: Lessons from the Women of Genesis would be better suited for girls, but Live Deeply: A Study in the Parables of Jesus would be fine for either boys or girls.
These Bible Study books use the inductive Bible study method and are endorsed by Kay Arthur and Ruth Graham Bell. There are two other books in this Fresh Life Bible Study Series, Live Intimately: Lessons from the Upper Room
