WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?: A Fresh Encounter for Deeper Faith by Becky Harling, Becky

An 8-week Bible Study for a Fresh Encounter for Deeper Faith

I love these Bible study books and have been collecting them way faster than I have been getting through them.  There's something about a pretty book with Bible reading, thoughts, questions to answer, etc. that makes me happy and, more importantly, gives me a focus for my personal devotions.

Becky says this in her intro: "I wrote this Bible study for those of you who want to know, love and trust Jesus more deeply-- and for those of you who have questions about who Jesus really is and are asking, 'Is He really who He says He is?'"

There are four sections to each week: Explore, Reflect, Memorize, and Praise.  Explore is a guided study of a passage or passages where Jesus says, "I Am".  There are also references to the Strong's Concordance.  Reflect is a section for personal growth and honesty. Memorize is just that, memorizing Scripture. And Praise is a section devoting to praising an element of Christ's character.

A few questions/statements I noted as I looked throughout the book: "Look up the following verses. Next to each reference, write a word that best describes God's love based on that Scripture." This is under the day titled "What Does Perfect Love Look Like?"

Another one: "What does it mean to you, personally, that the Good Shepherd laid down His life for you?" This same day's study has you listening to "Shepherd" by Bethel Music and Amanda Cook.

This study looks very engaging and interesting and appears to have great potential for spiritual growth if you are willing to be honest and dig deep. I am looking forward to adding it to my list of Bible studies I want to do.

I received this book from Moody Publishers and was not required to write a positive review.

Fragrant Whiffs of Joy by Dorcas Smucker (It's Giveaway time)

Ah yes, this was just what the doctor ordered. I've wanted to review Dorcas' last book or two and was always too chicken to ask, but this time I threw caution to the wind and said, "Yes, I want to review your book." And I'm so glad I did. It was the perfect book for this stage in my life. Short, easy to read chapters that can be picked up and read whenever and wherever. They are guaranteed to either make you laugh, smile, cry, or or just give you that ah-ha feeling that someone else experiences life like that too.  I could quote from pretty much every chapter something that struck me in one of those ways, but I really want you to go buy the book so I won't do that many spoilers. I only want to give you a hint of what is to come in the book. First off, isn't the cover beautiful? I can dream of a kitchen table like that with the apple pie still steaming and the tea pot, or coffee pot more likely, full to the brim and a beautiful arrangement of flowers

With Every Memory by Janine Rosche

  The story opens with Lori returning home after a year in rehab following a car accident that left her with a traumatic brain injury and missing memories. She works hard to regain her former life, but as her memories return, things seem confusing and hard. What happened in those years she is missing in her memory? I'm not going to say more about the story; I don't want to give anything away, but you start to wonder pretty early on in the book, what actually happened. The story flips back and forth between Lori and her daughter, Avery.  This is a story of redemption, hope and healing. It is a story of grief and loss, a bit of rebellion, but a lot of love too. It's a story about faithfulness in the midst of unfaithfulness. All in all, it's a good book, and one that had me turning the pages as fast as I could to find out how everything came together in the end.  I really enjoyed this book and would be interested in reading more by Janine in the future. I received this boo
