About the author
Jennifer Rothschild
49 books213 followersJennifer Rothschild is a recovering perfectionist who has learned to live beyond limits ever since her life drastically changed at the age of fifteen, when she lost her sight. Now, more than 30 years later, she boldly and compassionately teaches women how to find contentment, walk with endurance, and celebrate the ordinary.
She's the author of ten books, including the best-selling Lessons I Learned in the Dark, Self Talk, Soul Talk, the popular Me, Myself and Lies Bible study, and her soon to be released, God Is Just Not Fair.
As a speaker, author and accomplished singer-songwriter she travels internationally, offering fresh, sensible, Biblical advice to audiences who, like her, are determined to pursue healthy and fulfilling lives in spite of their circumstances. She has shared her practical and inspiring messages to arena-sized audiences across the country, and media outlets including Dr. Phil, Good Morning America, Life Today, The Learning Channel and The Billy Graham Television Special.
Jennifer is an avid listener of audio books, a C.S. Lewis junkie, and has a weakness for dark chocolate and robust coffee. She and her Dr. Phil live in Springfield, Missouri, and have two sons Connor and Clayton and a lovely daughter-in-law, Caroline. When she is not traveling, Jennifer enjoys nature walks, and riding a bicycle built for two.

Currently working through this book for the second time & will probably go through it again. Truly the BEST Bible study that I have ever been through.

Great Bible study...would like to do more studies from her.

Good Bible study, I especially liked day 1 & 2 of the last week. The whole study was insightful and helps keep you focused on God in hard times.

Jennifer Rothschild is the best about helping me to see things in a new way. I loved her lesson on not being an entitled Christian, expecting things from God. I also loved the story about Gideon and the fantasy future he created instead of experiencing God in the present.

Undeniably one of the best Bible studies I have ever done. And doing it in the midst of quarantine, which produced so many different missing pieces in our lives, made it that much more meaningful and insightful and applicable. I would highly recommend and will likely do this again at some point. Honestly, as soon as I finished, I wanted to start it all over again. I know there is so much more I could glean from this study.

My Mother passed away recently. This bible study was exactly what I needed. God is so patient with giving us the information and waiting for us to respond when we are ready. He never forces us but is always wanting that relationship restored with us.

Amazing perspective on the flaws in our lives that we have come to focus on. I picked up this study to do with a church group thinking it would minister to the infertility aspect of my life, but it ended up ministering to so many other areas in my life too.

It was ok, but I've liked other studies by this author better. I just couldn't connect to this one.

Jennifer is just an amazing teacher and I love the examples of life that she uses to get her points across. Jennifer, you are just so real and I love that. Great study!

Missing Pieces was a great Bible Study, It was broken into 6 weeks:
1)God - do you care?
2)God, Are you fair?
3)God, Are you there?
4)God Are you aware?
5)God, do you hear prayer?
6)God do you err?
There is also a leader's guide in the back of the book and 7 DVD's.
This study was great - these are all questions I have asked and Jennifer did a great job in both print and on screen to answer these questions and how to walk closer with God. There is much to be learned in the pages of this book and some AHA moments.
It definitely brought me closer to God and my relationship with Him.

Currently working through this Bible study with ladies from church. Jennifer's videos which enhance the Bible study are great. She has had some difficult challenges in her walk, including losing her sight at age 15. Jennifer is a credible and eloquent teacher. We are all getting so much out of this study, I would highly recommend gathering some Bible study buddies to do this study together with.

Excellent video series and well-written study guide. This was my introduction to seeing Jennifer speak. She is a very good speaker, quite pretty, and I like her taste in clothes. In other words, it's easy to enjoy her and focus on the content. She discusses some hard issues that women face that can derail them in the Christian life. She offers hope and focus.

This devotional couldn't have been brought into my life at a better time. A dear friend of mine bought this devotional for me. She said she hoped it would help me through some difficulties I have been going through. She was more then correct. This devotional has been wonderful for me and helped me so much. It also jump started me deciding I need to do a daily devotional every day from now on. This book has helped me grow and learn so much in the past 6 weeks!
