I loved this bible study. I attend a lot of bible studies, and it disappoints me that so many of them written by women for women seem to 'dumb down' the lessons. I didn't grow up in church and some of these stories are brand new to me. I appreciate being guided to dig deep and really understand how these characters and events so distant from me in time, can apply to me still today.
One of my favorite quotes from Reverend LaGrone in the study was: "True change is found in discovering who God is, how God reveals Himself and His love to us, and how it makes a difference in our own lives." This study has helped move me closer to understanding how I fit into God's kingdom, as well as helped me become more comfortable with the bible overall.
