Luke: Part 1: A Study of Luke 1-8
If you're a woman who feels like you don’t have time to study the Bible in a deep, meaningful way, but want to, this is the study for you. Watch Jesus up close as he begins to reveal to his disciples, the crowds, and us the astonishing upside-down kingdom of God. Luke Part 1 is a combination of Chris’s ability to unpack Scripture in deep, practical ways and Hope’s ability to create questions that guide the reader and apply God’s Word. Designed to be completed in just twenty minutes, each study is nourishing, time efficient, and useful for individuals and groups.
What other people are saying about Part 1:
“Hope Blanton and Chris Gordon have once again provided the church with a rich yet accessible resource in this study on Luke’s Gospel. They have a gift for bringing the historical context to life, making the scenes we encounter in Luke come alive in new ways. Their obvious love of God’s Word is contagious, and you will not only delight in studying his Word; you will be better equipped for further study because they show us how to study. Ultimately, though, this is a study that will lead you to Jesus, let you encounter him afresh, and ask you to respond to his claims, his life, and his love.” Courtney Doctor, Coordinator for women’s training and content, the Gospel Coalition, speaker, Bible teacher, and author of From Garden to A Bible Study on the Bible’s Story
“Whether you’re a new believer, college student, young mom, seasoned mentor, or Bible study leader, I can not recommend the At His Feet Studies highly enough! At His Feet Studies make deep and intentional Bible study approachable for women in various seasons of their walk with the Lord. This study on Luke guides the reader through observation, interpretation, and application in a helpful and accessible way, even for a mama of young children, like me! I find myself walking away with fresh insight and practical truths to apply to my daily life.” Hunter Beless, host of Journeywomen Podcast
“I hear from young moms all the time who believe that in-depth Bible study isn’t an option for them because they are in an intense season with limited time and mental energy. This study is a gift to those women. Chris and Hope offer a gift wrapped twenty-minute daily experience that will leave women not only with a deeper knowledge of the book of Luke but more enthralled with the person of Jesus and more aware of how he is at work in, through, and around them. This study raises the bar for women’s ministry tools by demonstrating that limited time and mental energy do not mean that we must bypass in-depth study to obtain the application points we crave. Chris and Hope offer a Christ-exalting resource that meets busy women where we are and allows us to see him as he is.” Abbey Wedgeworth, Gentle Leading
“This study gives one time to pause, to be reminded, and to be made certain of what you can know to be true about the humanity and divinity of Jesus. Study Luke's account alone, or in a group, through the commentaries and questions written by Chris and Hope and know that the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” Betty McCracken, Bible teacher of forty years

I’m so sad this study is over. It truly helped me to know Christ better. It not only showed me how he lived here on Earth but it showed me how he is working currently in my life. I loved the questions that it presented because it gave us the opportunity to share our so many meaningful experiences. We got to know Christ better but also eachother. I am looking forward to part 2!

Such a great study! I loved studying Jesus’ upside-down kingdom, where Christ brings a “complete reversal of human values.” I’m moved in love and gratitude as I think of how he constantly draws near to us, offering dignity, compassion, and mercy.
“All we need to know to enter this beautiful upside-down kingdom is the magnitude of our debt and Jesus’s mercy.”
“Jesus’s healing does not stop at the physical. His kingdom will ultimately bring total emotional, relational, psychological, and spiritual restoration.”

I loved this book, and feel like I know Jesus better as I watched his upside-down kingdom unfold. Excellent!

On this first day of fall we wrapped up our summer study of Luke 1-8. This is my first time working through an entire bible study with my daughter, and it’s been a rich experience. Her mind works so differently from mine that I’ve been encouraged greatly as her mom.
I can’t recommend At His Feet Studies enough. The way the reader is walked through observation questions, commentary that brings the text alive, and then application questions that reach your heart... well, it’s quite a feat for a bible study. I’ve rarely found other studies as rich and as applicable as these. And I’m not just saying this because the authors are dear friends! The studies are really that good.

Did this study with 2 friends. Really love the simplicity, short time-frame that's required to do the lessons, and I love that it's not just head knowledge. It's written to connect your heart and your feelings and get you to interact with the text from your heart and soul. Starting the second one now.

Beautiful look at Jesus coming down to earth to humble himself and love the forgotten. Great commentary and questions! Perfect for our group on Zoom and in-person.
