I loved that the 5-Minute Bible Study for Women by Author Annie Tipton is written in such a way that it encourages ladies to have their devotion time each day even on the days you are in a hurry!
The lessons are applicable to real life as well and I really appreciated that.
I would recommend this book to ladies on the go who want to prioritize their daily time with the Lord.

The 5-Minute Bible Study for Women: Mornings in God's Word by Annie Tipton.
I didn’t grow up in church like a lot of my friends, and I often wondered how they came about bible studying or even doing daily devotion.
The layout for this book was very easy for me to follow. Each day you have your Key Verse which is the Bible reading then a section that breaks down the meaning called Understand. Next there is Apply which illustrates how you can apply the lesson to your own life, finally closing it ends with the section called Pray which is a guided prayer.
Overall I enjoyed this.
I requested and received an Advanced Readers Copy from the Publisher and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I love this book! It's so convenient and so relevant. I found myself doing quiet times with God, discovering myself, reconnecting with God, and just journaling more. I love love this book and I recommend it!!
Women looking for a way to begin a habit of staring their mornings in God's Word need look no further than Annie Tipton's book The 5-Minute Bible sTudy for Women: Mornings in Gods' Word.
Tipton guides women to Read, Understand, Apply, and Pray. Let me say that I think Tipton does a great job of helping women see that this habit of daily time in the Word is attainable and they CAN do this. The topics and Scriptures she has chosen meet women where they are. They're practical and useful for everyday life, hitting on topics like the future, using their words to build up others, being chosen by Christ, choosing what to wear, being content, and not letting circumstances define them.
I do wish that Tipton had chosen a different word for her second "step" in the process. Hermeneutically, when we say we seek to "understand" the Bible, we are seeking to understand what it meant to the original audience, because Scripture has only one meaning--what it meant to the original audience. While Scripture has one meaning, it has many applications. To me, the questions that Tipton includes in her "Understand" section fit more with application to today rather than understanding the original meaning of the text.
Still, Tipton's resource is a good one that will certainly help women learn to study the Bible for themselves and make it a regular habit. Don't let my hangup with the vocabulary keep you from a basically good resource that just chose a less-than-helpful word for one step in the process. It's still a very helpful Bible study guide.

When my alarm goes off and I roll out of bed, I stumble to the bathroom, then feed the dogs, shower, dress for the day, all while prodding my daughter to get ready for school. Sound familiar? Almost everyone experiences the busyness of mornings—rushing to get ready for work, get kids off to school, complete household tasks, etc. Rushing in turn creates stress, irritation, and impatience. This book was written to give you an alternative way to start your day—by studying God’s Word for at least 5 minutes of your busy morning. You are encouraged to spend 1-2 minutes reading the daily scripture passage, about a minute consider prompts designed to help you better understand the reading, a minute to read a brief application, and a minute to pray with a helpful guide.
I found the scriptures chosen to be very appropriate and applicable to my life as a woman, mother, and a daughter of Christ. The questions and devotions were significant and caused me to be reflective. Best of all, the devotions can truly be done quickly, while still being meaningful. I found this book to be a wonderful tool, as I often get caught up in the rush of preparing for my day. Taking those few minutes to have a quiet time with God daily makes a real difference in my heart and mind. You won’t regret reading this book! It is perfect for someone wanting to work on beginning the routine of a daily quiet time in the mornings.
This is a very accessible devotional book that highlights a variety of passages from the Bible and offers simple, brief takeaways with a prayer prompt. It does not attempt to provide scholarly insight or take you through a chronological or topical study, it simply provides devotional topics and brief passages for daily contemplation. The 5-minute title is correct, and I think many women will enjoy having something that gives them a few minutes of quiet reflection without demanding deep effort and time each day. Each topic starts with the title or take-away topic for the day (e.g. God's Faithfulness Has No End), followed by a few verses for you to read. Then a key verse is highlighted and included in the text, followed by a few questions or paragraphs of insight to consider, and then the topic is capped with a sample prayer you can offer or that can inspire your own prayers for the day. While I personally enjoy scriptural studies that go deeper, there's no question that there are times and seasons where we simply need a helping hand to keep going each day in scripture and prayer and we don't have 45 minutes to devote to it. This book meets that season with kindness and heart. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.
When my days are busy and full, those are the times I need to make time for my Bible study and reading. This great little book gives me everything I need in one quick place. The layout of the book follows a set pattern that I think works well.
Each day’s study starts with a bible verse reading. The reading is the basis for the day’s lesson. The reading moves into a section called understanding. The understanding section is great for self-reflection. It offers a few questions for you to reflect on and to have an honest discussion with yourself. The apply section follows next with a practical application of the scripture and verses read. The very important last part of the day’s lesson is the prayer section. They read like a conversation with the Lord and offer a great starting point for each person to build on as they wish.
The book offers the encouragement we all need to get our morning started. The format suggests a good basis to encourage readers to build a solid daily practice of bible study.

A Bible study guide that helps women Read, Understand, Apply, and Pray. I was personally encouraged and renewed as I used this guide to help me spend more time in God's presence. The devotions are not too lengthy and thus easy to follow and understand.
This guide is practical and applicable for everyday life, covering helpful topics to speak to each lady's heart. Highly recommend this guide as a way of beginning your morning in God's word.
The layout is easy to follow, for each day Annie provides a Key verse, which we have read and understand. This followed by apply, which illustrates how each reading can be applied in our lives. Then we are provided with a guided prater section.
I would like to thank Annie Tipton, Barbour Publishing, and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Summary: Women in search of a way to begin a habit of staring their mornings in God's Word need look no further.
A powerfully dynamic Bible study. The format makes it applicable to all levels of maturity in the faith. I love that the readings drive me and challenge me to press deeper into Scripture and pray through what God is saying to me, rather than tell me what to think. Every entry follows the same format: A passage to read, a key verse to focus your meditation on (if desired), an Understand prompt, an Apply prompt and a Prayer prompt. The Understand prompt is full of questions to probe your heart and your mind (like planting seeds), while the Apply prompt churns to soil to enable the seeds to take root and the Prayer prompt is like watering the seeds of Truth and encouragement just planted. I highly recommend this for all women in the faith for a nourishing devotional. I received a complimentary copy and all opinions expressed are my own and freely given.
This book is a great little devotional/study for someone looking to add a little extra to their "quiet time" or that busy someone looking for something time easy that packs a punch. It is completely undated, something I love in a devotional especially when life get life-like and missing days lead to guilt then losing interest or motivation. Each study starts with a scripture passage or verse to read, the main three or less verses is actually written out, translation varies, then moves into the "study" of the verse. There are three sections here; understand, apply and prayer. I love how easy this book is to use. I can spend as little or as much time as I have going through everything and take it with me to ponder throughout the day. It has made for some great journaling.
This 5-Minute Bible Study for Women by Annie Tipton is set up so that it is so easy to have a devotional time even if you are in a hurry! And with the way our lives are so full, this shows us how we can accomplish our devotional and still do all the things we need to get done. The way it is set up and the references that are there make it ideal for the busy mom that is taking care of her family as well as the woman that works outside the home. The lessons are relevant as well. I would recommend this little book to not just women, but men as well as they too have such a busy life and it is important to take time to reflect on life and its meanings.
This book is a great tool for studying the bible daily for 5 minutes a day. Each day a new passage is presented, and an explanation or meaning of the passage is presented. The author gets you to think about how this passage applies to your daily life. I think this is a great way for the modern busy woman to learn lessons from the bible, because it's not time consuming. I enjoy reading each passage, and finding the deeper meaning behind it.
This book is the perfect companion for daily quiet time. it especially encourages one to develop spending time in God's Word starting in small increments. I highly recommend this book. I received this book from Barbour Publishing. The opinions expressed are my own.
I slowly read this devotion over a couple months, using it most days (not all) as a morning message. They are written so well and inspiring. I’m going to keep this book in my car for when I need a random “pick me up” or in the mornings before I begin my day. Highly recommended 🤍🤍🤍
