It's possible to learn how to live with a faith that is so confident in God that it can't be shaken--even in the most unpredictable and chaotic times.
In this five-session video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), bestselling author and teacher Christine Caine invites you to move into a deeper intimacy with God than you have ever known--and let him heal your heart and take away your fear.
Including video discussion questions, Bible exploration, and personal study material, Caine points out the way to developing a relentless faith so that the next time life throws you a curve ball--and life likely will--you will be able to navigate your way through, still living the adventure he planned for you...and maybe even a version of the adventure that's beyond what you could ever have imagined.

I love Christine Caine and the actual Unexpected book I give 5 stars; however, this companion study guide is just average. The layout and organization were a bit confusing. There were some thoughtful discussion questions; but overall I didn’t find that the study guide offered much extra to the already excellent book and video teachings.
I did not find this study guide very useful, although I absolutely loved the book that goes with this. Perhaps I would have gotten more out of it if I'd been doing it with a small group. As I was doing it alone, I didn't see that this added to my learning and understanding. I highly recommend the actual book she wrote though.
I really enjoyed doing this study. I learned a lot about learning how to embrace the unexpected. I liked that there were a variety of topics covered here, and I would recommend this study to anyone who might want to learn about embracing the unexpected in life.
We used this workbook in our book study in our women's group at church. I found the questions to be fine for a book discussion. Some were repetitive. Our group did have great conversations!
