I have found this to an extremely well written study on Phillipians. I am currently using this study in a Bible study at our church. It uses the inductive study model asking questions about the text that makes you observe, interpret and apply the text to you life. Keri asks insightful questions and lays out the saving gospel clearly. Included in this study is a very helpful guide to leaders with an explanation of what an inductive study is all about. I have found this study to be a true "joy" to go through and have loved to see how the Word of God is changing the hearts of ladies through this excellent resource. I can highly recommend this to any who is searching for good gospel-driven study material for woman.
I am doing this study with women from my church right now. It is a very helpful guide in learning how to study the Word of God inductively. Keri clearly lays out the three steps to inductive study (observation, interpretation and application) and then carefully walks us through the passages in this way. Our group is finding the study of Philippians refreshing and good for our soul.The study would be great for Christians or Non-Christians as the gospel is clearly laid out time and time again. The great part about that is Keri's reinforcement that the gospel isn't just for the unbelieving heart but for all as that which compels us to grow more like Christ. I highly recommend picking up this study for personal or group study.
I am currently co-leading a small group of ladies through the study of Philippians using Keri Folmar's Joy: A Bible Study on Philippians for Women. In a world where people are constantly searching for happiness, this inductive study of Philippians leads the student to the well of true Joy-knowing and serving our Lord Jesus Christ. Keri encourages Christian ladies to study the Bible in order to know who God truly is and to keep the Gospel central to their daily lives. By knowing the God of the Bible, we can challenge our cultural stereotypes of God to find our true joy in Him in every cirmcumstance. This study is also an effective guide to shepherd non believers to the truth of the cross and its relevance to our everyday lives.
So nice to have a solid study for women! There is so much fluff out there, Bible studies based on video and personality. This is a good, basic, verse by verse study of Philippians. I am using it with a group of ladies this summer, and we are thoroughly enjoying it. Glad I found this through Cruciform Press, a reliable publisher of doctrinally sound materials!
I am loving this Bible study! I have long lacked any kind of method when it comes to studying the Bible and spent a good amount of time researching a simple yet solid study guide that would teach me how to study the Word on my own. This study uses the inductive method and I love that approach as it teaches you to examine God's Word in context, which is so important. I also love that the author reminds you to spend time I prayer before each time of study. I can't wait to finish this one and then move on to the James study!
The questions are beyond the ordinary fill in the blank sort. There are 3 kinds of questions designed to get you to apply truths to your life. I also like the spiral binding for ease of use.
not just fluff it has some meat to it. She asks some wonderful questions. Doing this with my 14 year old son (don't tell him it;s a study for women....after all it's the Word of God) This is our first time with a more "inductive" format. We love it. He tells me he did not know the Philippians had so much in it.
This is a great study. Keri is good at drawing out the meat of the scriptures. Some complaints by our group that some of her questions are repetitive. This is a good study for those new to studying scriptures,
