There are excellent biblical truths in this study on disappointment. I had several issues with it, though.
It claims to be a study on Elizabeth, but there's only so much you can get out of what little is told in the Bible. Really, only the first week talks about Elizabeth and the rest talk about different passages while trying to tie in Elizabeth's life in the tiniest way.
There were a lot of assumptions made about Bible stories. It really bothered me. A lot of the questions were like, "how do you think Elizabeth felt about this?" or "do you think perhaps Elizabeth did this this way?" We shouldn't be basing our lives on assumptions but on what the Bible actually says.
This book was not KJV, and because of that, some of the verses it asks us to look up didn't actually fit into the lesson. On a study of overcoming, we were asked to look up John 1:5, which says, "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." This is in no way reference to overcoming.
I was able to get some good points out of this study on disappointment but all these issues made me very frustrated and, ironically, a little disappointed with the book.

Due to my crazy work schedule, this took me a lot more than six weeks to get through. However, every time I opened this study, I was blessed, convicted, and challenged. We all face disappointments in life. It might be singleness, bareness, a difficult job, or a lost friendship. This study is for you!

El volumen de la desilusión no debe ser más alto que el de nuestra alabanza hacia el Rey de reyes, quien cumplirá todas sus promesas y siempre llenará nuestros corazones.
Un recurso más de Aviva nuestros corazones que se extiende hacia las mujeres para revelar lo que hay en nuestro corazón. Gracias a Dios por Nancy ♡

Good, thought provoking study - but be sure you use the video resources mentioned in the introduction. I don’t think I would have gained as much just by the study itself if not for the teachings by Nancy and the podcast by her ministry.

This is a great topical study to do with a small group. Discussion questions are in the back of the book, and Revive Our Hearts has additional resources on their website.
