Review:
I want to preface this by saying that I have not read the book that this study is based on. I have been attending a women's study for a few years now and a few of the books we have used have been by Beth Moore. I've been floored by her in every way! She is an amazing speaker and writer and just has a way of getting into your hearts.

This study is intended to have 10 sessions. She has some really great tips in the front for the leader of the group. She even explains how to do the timing for the sessions. Most important is that she has tips on how to deal with the tone of the sessions. They get pretty deep and they're dealing with a sensitive topic for most people.

It would be prudent for anyone attending the study to have a copy of the book, as well as the participant guide. A lot of the sessions refer to the book and I can imagine it would be frustrating to not have it handy to see what she's discussing.

Each session has "A Word from Beth" for the leader to read out loud to the participants. Then you dig in! There are lots of group discussion questions and lots of "look it up" questions referring to Scriptures. Then, of course, it's Beth Moore, so there is a homework section too!

I'm really hoping this will be what we use for our Fall study. I can't imagine a topic more relevant. It even goes along with some other books I've read recently.

I received a copy of the book for the purpose of a review. No additional compensation has been received and I was not required to write a positive review.
