Do you feel like you're just waiting to find your purpose? Many of us feel restless, and that might not be a bad thing. . . When our restlessness awakens our longing to be woven into God's story, it can launch us into living the life of purpose God designed for us. In this video-based small group Bible study, Bible study teacher and author of Get Out of Your Head Jennie Allen helps you discover a practical plan to identify the loose threads of your life and how to weave them together for God's glory and purposes. Jennie uses the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis to explain how his suffering, gifts, story, and relationships fit into the greater tapestry of God’s narrative—and how our story can do the same. Tools included in the Sessions This kit Additional Restless Study Guides (9780849922367) can be purchased separately.

Restless – A DVD-Based Study is a highly interactive Bible study that helps us to examine the purpose of our lives through God’s eyes. Although the study will take us throughout Scripture, the primary focus of the study is the life of Joseph. By looking at Joseph’s life through some key themes, such as Gifts, Suffering, and People, and seeing how God used these things for His greater good, we begin to examine our own lives to see how God may be using these same things in His continuing story.
The full DVD kit contains everything you need to complete the study on your own, and to lead the study (participants will need to obtain copies of their own individual study guides).
The contents of this kit include:
1 Restless Study Guide which serves as your workbook for the course. 1 Restless Lead Guide with guidelines for leading the study. 1 8-Session Restless DVD. 1 Box of Ask Conversation Cards.
Jennie has a gift for identifying those things in life that really matter to us – helping us to connect with others who share those concerns – and opening our hearts to what the Word of God says.

Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review purposes. However, the opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
Do you ever find yourself wondering who you really are or what your purpose is? Allen as taken these questions and more and turned it into a Bible Study for women. Drawing from the story of Joseph the author exposes those "restless" feelings we all seem to have and gives the Biblical answers to calm our anxieties and hurts.
The kit comes with the dvds, the study guide, the leader guide, and a box of discussion cards. The books are easy to use and the kit is formatted to bring out discussion. The DVDs are aesthetically pleasing in addition to being well thought out and put together. They inspired me as well as convicted me. At the beginning of each lesson different women answered a question relating to the topic. It showcased how different we all are, yet still searching for the same thing. I loved the different perspectives it gave. Will be recommending this study to my Bible study group.
I received this book free of charge from Shelton Interactive in exchange for my honest review.
