With the Master in Heavenly Places: A Ladies' Bible Study of Ephesians

With the Master

by Susan J. Heck

Ephesians 2:6 promises that Christians will sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. In this letter Paul wants Gods' children to know that if we could see ourselves as we are in Christ it would "revolultionalize our lives and change our whole outlook." (D.M. Lloyd-jones) What we believe about Heaven will determine how we live our life to come. Search the Scriptures and see the spiritual resources we have at our disposal.

I used this book as commentary while doing an Inductive Bible study of Ephesians earlier this year and thought her notes were very good. Because the inductive method is so in-depth I didn't really use any of her study questions, though so can't really comment on them.

This is my second study by her and she is wonderful!! I love these studies. They are expository, verse by verse studies of God's word.

A magnificent study of the book of Ephesians. We are indeed blessed with every spiritual gift in Christ Jesus and seated in the heavenly places, may we now live like we believe it.

[Cassandra Cridland · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a Biblically sound study and contains a wealth of information in the listed reference notes, allowing a person to pursue even deeper knowledge.

For the most part, the study is well thought out and formatted for a balanced homework load. However, there were a number of places where the author repeats herself without giving any new information to strengthen her point. I was left with the feeling she was adding words simply to fill space and I found it frustrating to weed through the wordiness.
