Stuck Study Guide [Paperback]

I am truly a different person because of God's power and tools like this Study! I've completed several studies in the past that help me study God's word but this helped me apply God's word like never before. It challenged me to dig deep and to ask the hard questions we don't like to answer. It helped me process things that needed to come out so that I could be healed and it has been such a life changer! I was so inspired by this study and thankful for the author being honest and vulnerable. I really believe she will be able to help many women experience true life change as they become un-stuck!

I grabbed this study guide without really noticing that it said it was designed for women. I guess I was at a point of being STUCK and this title caught my eye. Yes, there are some parts that were probably too feminine for me, but for the most part, the topics hit home. Towards the end though, after being more and more unstuck, surrendering more to God, and relying on Him more, I lost interested to stay stuck in the book. I found that there were too many exercises and too many different angels to respond to and fill out in each chapter - I think it would have been better to have chosen fewer options (of course, perhaps that's the man coming out in me) - I'm not sure if that's how women flush things out by mulling over it. To reiterate though, it was a good study for those feel stuck.

"Stuck" Study - the places we get stuck and the God who sets us free!
By Jennie Allen
This review is on one chapter of the book and the DVD that accompanies the book.
WHAT a marvellous study guide this is- meant for women of all ages and all walks of life!!
It would be a great group study, where women could discuss their views and feelings. The guide includes a section in which you write your feelings about each topic. You are provided with a Bible study and then examine your feelings with regard to it. The DVD has more to examine of each chapter and I will be honest with you, it really makes you think- with the author explaining more and the lovely graphics that hit you - in a meaningful way.

I was provided with the chapter entitled, "Mad" and it was most appropriate for me this week !! I was mad!! My daughter , who is a fourth year university student in nursing, was denied the right to complete her clinicals, due to a boyfriend situation , who ended in a legal battle. My daughter was declared innocent but not in time to get her clinical placement. Boy, was I mad!! How unfair!! The guilty walk free, and my child suffers!!! I was furious, with the legal system, the university, the lawyer, etc. Then, I read this chapter, and watched this DVD. You know, I was wrong!! Yes, wrong. I have the right to be angry, but will it do any good? NO!! God has to remove that feeling. He has the power to solve our problems and we don't need to get upset. I have prayed about the matter, done the work provided in the book and watched the video and guess what??? I no longer feel angry, worried maybe, but that too, can be answered with faith in God's power. Our problems can be taken care of with prayer. As women, we feel things differently from our husbands, thus must handle them in our own way with God's help.
This book and DVD are a valuable resource and could be used alone, but I can see it being used with a woman's group, the discussion would be fantastic as you share what God has worked in your life.
I commend Jennie Allen, the author , on addressing issues that plague us, but are often not spoken of. We are embarrassed that we have these feelings. After all, we are Christians, aren't we?? Should we feel this way? YES!! But we need to deal with them, as the author explains. A fantastic tool to work with!!
WOW , did it help me! Thanks, Jennie.
