A Million Little Miracles Study Guide: Rediscover the God Who Is Bigger Than Big, Closer Then Close, and Gooder Than Good

by Mark Batterson

You may think you've never experienced a miracle, Mark Batterson says you have never not. In this study guide that complements Batterson's book, A Million Little Miracles, the New York Times bestselling author of Win the Day helps us take note of the many ways God is constantly moving in our midst, revealing his greatness, and reminding us of his goodness.In our age of instant access to information, we are in danger of losing our grip on our most ancient emotion—childlike wonder. What we need is to cultivate a holy curiosity. For what? For everything! Too many of us are so wrapped up in our own worlds, that we end up worship a god who looks like us, thinks like us, and votes like us. As a result of our impoverished view of God, most of us are only living life at half capacity. In response, Batterson invites us to consider the miraculous work of God going on around us every day. He highlights three aspects of God that we take for God is bigger than we think, closer than we realize, and better than we can imagine.In this compelling, author-curated guide, readers will engage key questions, dig into the Bible, and complete activities that help them take inventory of the millions of miracles God is accomplishing in their lives every day.

For those of you who read my review of A Million Little Miracles, you are aware of my giving it five stars. I found the accompanying Study Guide underwhelming, with the exception of the Study God's Word sections. I did appreciate how they tied important concepts back to Scripture. The questions generally didn't cause me to wrestle with anything, only to briefly give the subject more thought time. Possibly, if used in a small group rather than independently, discussion with others would create the need to go deeper.

While some may find this additional content quite valuable, it certainly isn't essential in order to get great benefit from reading the main text. I purchased four copies of the main text to give as gifts. I did not purchase additional study guides. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of A Million Little Miracles Study Guide from Multnomah via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.

A Million Little Miracles Study Guide is meant to accompany Mark Batterson's book A Million Little Miracles: Rediscover the God Who is Bigger Than Big, Closer Than Close, and Gooder Than Good. It is recommended to read a chapter in the book and then the matching chapter in the study guide. The study guide provides a deeper dive into and reinforcement of the material giving readers a chance to realize the impact on their personal lives. Reading the study guide would have the same impact if read as a stand-alone.

This is a thought provoking, interesting, and encouraging read.

Well done and recommended.

My thanks to Multnomah for permitting me to access a DRC of this book via NetGalley. Publication will be 11/19/24. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own and are freely given.

I enjoyed reading “A Million Little Miracles” and I was excited to take a look at the study guide as well. It is set up so that you read the chapter from the book, then take on the corresponding chapter from the study guide. Each chapter has you look at a miracle of God that is in our life. Then, they have you dig deeper into the theme of the chapter. A scripture study connected to the topic and an application of principles follow. There’s also an entire section for a group leader to use if implementing this study with others. Great resource!
