Unbreakable Courage Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video: Strong Faith in an Age of Anxiety, Chaos, and Exhaustion

by Max Lucado

What the prophet Elijah teaches us about standing strong in faith when the world is shaking.

Elijah may be the perfect hero for our times. The struggles he faced are all too standing firm for God in a world determined to turn away from Him, feeling outnumbered and overwhelmed, and wrestling with moments of loneliness, anxiety, and discouragement. And yet, despite impossible opposition, Elijah chose to trust God when the road ahead looked uncertain.

The six-session Unbreakable Courage Bible study invites you to deepen your faith by drawing from Elijah’s story of hope and resilience. Each session provides practical application from the highs and lows of his life.

This study is an excellent companion to the main book, which is a look at Elijah’s life. I am watching the videos as well. I like the format and the thoughtful questions. This study doesn’t simply rehash everything in the main book. It tells fresh stories and goes deeper with more questions. This is ideal for group discussions in church or home settings, yet it could also work for individual use.
I received a preview copy from NetGalley.

I read Unbreakable Courage: Strong Faith in an Age of Anxiety, Chaos, and Exhaustion along with this study guide, and I'm so glad! The guide made me slow down, look up the scriptures for myself, and really think about Elijah's story rather than simply reading about it and moving on.

I really enjoyed looking more closely at Elijah himself. He was a strong and sometimes feisty prophet who stood for the one true God during a time when Israel had turned toward false gods. Yet, he also experienced fear, isolation, discouragement, and times when God called him away into solitude. One of the things that stayed with me the most was the reminder that sometimes we need that solitude. We need to get away from all the noise, spend time alone with God, and simply listen.

The study guide includes Scripture readings, personal reflection and discussion questions, and video sessions with Max Lucado. I loved being able to stop during the lessons, jot down my thoughts, look up passages in my Bible, and consider how many applied to my own life and faith.

This would work very well for a small-group Bible study, but I completed it on my own and found it just as worthwhile as a personal study. If you read Unbreakable Courage, I definitely recommend using the study guide along with it. It is laid out so simply, easy to follow, and very clear to understand. It helped me get much more of Elijah's story and gave me plenty to think about after I finished.

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Publishing for providing me with a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Unbreakable Courage Study Guide by Max Lucado

As always, Max hits right at the heart & soul of our lives and teaching us how to handle the “unbreakable courage” that God has given us. The guide follows well with the book and gives you plenty of things to think about but mostly it brings you back to God & His plans for you. Lucado never disappoints!
