Flooded: The 5 Best Decisions to Make When Life Is Hard and Doubt Is Rising by Nicki Koziarz is an in-depth look at the life of Noah and the decisions he had to make. There is an accompanying Bible study and 6 video lessons.

If you're doing the Bible study and reading the book, the time commitment is about 1 hour every day. I'm a fairly quick reader and it took me almost an hour to read the chapter, Bible passage, guide, and answer the questions...and I didn't write all my answers down.

To combat the time commitment, I decided to read the chapter ahead of time so the time could be spent focusing on the guide and Bible passage.

I enjoyed this slow walk through Noah's life. I never really thought about the different decisions he had to make and Nicki Koziarz did a great job of showing us how we could make those same decisions in our lives every day.

She was honest with her struggles to make those decisions while showing us the things she's doing and that we can do to go forward.

One of my favorite things about the Bible study guide was the "one thing you're trusting God for today".  I've been choosing a new thing each day and God has shown Himself faithful. I also enjoyed the weekly verse that we're given to memorize.

Flooded is a great Bible study for those who want a closer walk with God. Dissecting Noah's life gives you a pretty good idea of the steps you need to take but also reminds you that God is faithful and you don't have to do it alone. I received an advanced reader's copy from the publishers through NetGalley; a positive review was not required.

Loving the book, Flooded, and the author, Nicki Koziarz, I knew I would love this Study Guide. She is warm, funny, and relatable, and this study reflects her personality.

I love this guide for digging deeper into the study of Noah. The study is 6 weeks long with 4 days each per week. Nicki guides you to which chapters of the book and Bible verses to read each day. There are questions to reflect on what you read as well as questions about your life.

Who is this study for? Anyone struggling with doubt or unanswered prayers. Maybe you’re struggling with answered prayers that don’t seem to follow a logical path or you are starting to doubt you heard God lead you this way. This book’s for you.

Who isn’t this study for? The person who’s faith is so rock-solid that you have never once second-guessed anything.

I enjoyed this book so much that after I listened to the audiobook from my library while reading an e-book advanced reader copy, I ordered a printed copy!

Thank you, Bethany House and NetGalley, for an advance reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

In this bible study with the same name of the book, Nicky Korziarz took her time to dig in on each of the five decisions she believes Noah took in front of the doubt the make a difference in his journey while building the ark. I like that the study only has for four days, which I believe is great since on the second day usually the study is longer and takes more time. This decision may sound simple:
To walk with God
To listen to God
To rise above the doubt
To remember who is in charge
To find the familiar faithfulness of God
Without pretense and uncomplicated methods, this bible study will help you in a practical and biblical way to see that there is a way to live even when doubt wants to rise, well done to the author and the team.


Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free digital copy for review, all opinions are my own.

I have read this book as part of the bible study Proverbs 31 Ministries was doing, The book was written by Nicki Koziarz. The book has an excellent theme about dealing with your doubt with the Lord. Nicki does a great job in using Noah as her focal point and uses him as someone who we can learn from when it comes to dealing with doubt.

Now this is the actual study guide that goes along with the Flooded book. It is a great companion to Flooded but note that there are some things that go along with this that aren't included, which are the teaching videos or videos they mention at the beginning of each week.

I recommend this book for either reading it by yourself or using it for a Bible study.

I have learned so much through Nicki Koziarz and the studies God has laid on her heart. She is such a sweet, humble, talented woman of God. That being said… get ready for digging deep into scripture and learning. If you are just reading the book you will still be challenged. In the Study Guide expect to be memorizing scripture, learning more about yourself and a lot about what God has for you to learn. I’ve written this review before I finished the study but wanted to let others know how good it is!

I received a complimentary ARC of these books from NetGalley on behalf of the Publisher and was under no obligation to post a favorable review.

I chose to use this study guide with the book Flooded that I was doing during a Bible study. The guide is great to go along with the book. Lots of thought provoking pages to guide you through a great study.

It was a sweet bible study. I think this study depending on where you find yourselves in your walk with God, will effect you in different ways...clearly. Although, it seems to me this would be great for younger readers.

I really enjoyed reading this study guide which is a wonderful companion to her book. This is a six week study of Noah.

I did receive this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

This is a wonderful Bible study resource that helps break down the decisions and legacy Noah made during his life.

Much deeper perspective of the Old Testament Story of Noah. Really brought adult meaning to an often categorized "childrens" story. It's not! (This was done as a group for my Bible Study.)
