5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Easy, and Worthwhile Bible Study for a Bunch of Women!, May 6 2004

By

This review is from: Falling in Love with Jesus Workbook: Abandoning Yourself to the Greatest Romance of Your Life (Paperback)

We just completed the ten lessons in this book. By "we", I mean a group of women, who met at a friend's home on Wednesday evenings, while our kids were at Awana. Some of us knew more about the Bible than others, some were new Christians, some were Catholics, others were protestants, one Pastor's wife...a real "mixed" group of ladies. I used the "Workbook" as my only resource. Some preferred reading out of the hardback, and not doing the homework. Our leader used both, one adding more depth to the other. The Workbook has five days of questions and answers for each of the ten weeks. The answers are to be supplied from Bible verses, and your own introspection. The "homework" in the Workbook was not as daunting as some of the other Bible studies I've been involved with (Beth Moore, Nancy Missler), but was still enough to cause me to examine myself and my Christian walk. Our leader enjoyed using the "Leaders Guide". The Leaders Guide had pre-selected questions from the Workbook to discuss. This kept the class focused on the lesson, and the discussion involved everyone. We used the videos, featuring the authors Dee Brestin and Kathy Troccoli. Dee is a wonderful teacher, sweet and friendly. Kathy sings, and adds some wonderful stories and insights of her own. The video is well produced. You could do a study with or without it, but I sure recommend it. With prayer, video, and focused discussion, we were able to keep our class time to 90 minutes.

I did not have trouble with the "Jesus as bridegroom" aspect of the study. It is all very scriptural. The word "Romance" is used in the same vein as "Relationship". This book never talks about erotic love, but about God pursuing a loving relationship in a faithful, and restorative way with each of us. I think my husband would enjoy this Bible Study, but it's made especially for women as Dee and Kathy talk about "chick flicks", love songs, and other notions that women enjoy talking about. Not just entertaining, this is real spirituality, and a deep and vital Biblical study for a wide variety of Christian women.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fall in Love with Jesus!!, Mar 6 2004

This review is from: Falling in Love with Jesus Workbook: Abandoning Yourself to the Greatest Romance of Your Life (Paperback)

Dee Brestin and Kathy Troccoli have penned a very interesting book, whereby they characterize it as "abandoning yourself to the greatest romance of your life." With references to "Sacred Romance" by John Eldredge, this is essentially a woman's book, although I believe that men could benefit from its ideas.

The purpose is to introduce readers to the ultimate love relationship of all time - a relationship with Jesus Christ. Using humor, contemporary love songs, real-life stories, and solid Biblical teaching, they both help women discover a life-changing intimacy with Christ.

By

Suzanne Bird (Vienna, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Falling in Love with Jesus Workbook: Abandoning Yourself to the Greatest Romance of Your Life (Paperback)

This book started a revival in my heart, soul, mind, marriage, and most importantly, my relationship with Christ. I did not even know I was "in the wilderness" until I completed this study. Now I am beginning to enjoy invincible love and am joyfully returning to the first love that I once had for Christ. You will be blessed by this book. Thank you, Kathy and Dee!
