The Bible study in itself is different. It is not a traditional hold your Bible and study the Scripture. The study did quote the story of the prodigal son, However, it did not give you the book of the Bible they were quoting. The prodigal son story is quoted and briefly explained throughout the five week study. There were other scriptures paraphrased but again no books of the Bible, chapter, or verse was mentioned. The only reason I knew it was Bible scripture is because I knew what they were quoting.
There are testimonials from different people in each of the five week study . They talk about how they were living before they came to know Christ. There are other stories where they share about different things that happen to them and God guiding their way. I would call this Bible study more of a testimonials than a study. With that said I believe it would help someone you are witnessing to guide them to Jesus or a new convert may find this encouraging. The stories told start out with how bad they were living before Christ and many people need to hear God forgives all people from all walks of life no matter how bad you are.
I gave this Bible study 3 stars for Bible study and 4 stars for testimonies.
I was given a copy of this DVD by the publisher for my honest review.
I may pass on this one. However I may recommend it to new converts. The testimonials sound like they may help someone who is struggling with their past. Thank you Mary
ReplyDeleteI may buy this and share it with my youth group. I think it may help them to learn more about God's forgiveness through word of mouth in the testimonials. Thank you for sharing Mary.
ReplyDeleteSome like a good learning tool for a new believe ! Blessings ,DanaGirl
ReplyDeleteI am going to buy this for a gentleman that I work with. He says he was terrible in his life before Christ and struggles daily with it. I think this may help him. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI think I will pass on this one. I am more of a traditional grab your Bible and sit down type of Bible study. But I will keep it in mind if I run across someone who needs it.
ReplyDeleteI will get it to hear the testimonials. I may like it or know someone who needs it. Thank you Mary for your review
ReplyDeleteI think I will get it. I constantly struggle with my past before Christ and the times I walked away. I think this will help me.
ReplyDeleteI am undecided on this one. I will have to think about if I am going to get it or not. Thank you so much Mary
ReplyDeleteHenrietta, You are the WINNER! I will get your DVD right out to you!
DeleteI too will pass on this one. You did a great review of it Mary. Thanks for letting us know that it was more testimonial than Biblical. However, I believe testimonies can speak loudly to a new Believer in Christ.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
