![]() This is a topical study as opposed to exegetical (passage-based), focusing on God’s design for growth, rest, Sabbath, and trust. While I’m recommending this for personal use, I am currently using this for a group study for moms! It has sparked awesome discussion and can definitely be a great group study, but it’s also a good choice for personal use. *Note: This study is published by Crossway, and therefore comes from a Reformed/Calvinist perspective. I thoroughly enjoyed this study and will probably try another one of Lydia’s studies in the future (she also has one on 1 Peter). While the daily reading and study is light (as far as work goes), you’ll still get a fantastic overview of the book of Esther and will cross reference with other portions of Scripture. This is the study I did on Esther earlier this year. Esther: The Hidden Hand of God by Lydia Brownback Though they should not be your only means of bible study, they are still a great way to learn about the Lord and His Word! Below are ten studies for personal (as opposed to group) use that I recommend and/or enjoyed myself. I left those two weeks refreshed and newly appreciating this book of the Bible, partially because I took a stretch of two weeks to study it instead of the two days I would’ve had with my bible reading plan.Īll of this to say: structured studies serve a purpose. It was short, so I picked it up for the next two weeks. What should I study? A few weeks prior I received a study on the book of Esther. I was forcing something because I had always done it instead of pursuing variety in my study of God’s Word – a pursuit that would free me to enjoy it more! When I stopped my chronological plan, I felt a little lost. Then halfway through my fifth time, I decided to quit. And that said… structured Bible studies also serve a purpose! A well written guided study can be immensely helpful for new believers, during a break from inductive study, or for going through a deep dive on a topic.įor the last five years I read through the Bible chronologically. Learning how to study the Bible and seek God’s face without a scripted study is a skill set every Christian should cultivate. It’s no secret here at Every Woman a Theologian: we want readers equipped to study the Bible independently, free of props and narrative.
