I have been tremendously blessed by the Moody Bible Studies for Women series. Because of unforeseen life circumstances and tragedies, it has taken me far too long to finish reading and reviewing the latest addition to this beautiful set of books, but I’ve finally managed to do it! “Delighting in God’s Laws: Old Testament Commands & Why They Matter Today” is a 6-week Bible study written by Kristie Anyabwile and I have learned SO much from this precious book!

At Long Last… A Book Review!
I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect when I picked up Trillia Newbell’s book from Moody Publishers entitled: “52 Weeks In The Word: A Companion For Reading Through The Bible In A Year”. So, how does this idea work exactly? Well it’s kind of a neat combination of Bible-reading plan, journal, and study guide, making this a really unique volume that can work for students of God’s word in so many ways. It provides structure while still allowing for the personal application and interpretation that pushes us to dive in and really study and think about the Scripture we are reading – for ourselves. Guiding us, through study questions and insightful snippets of relevant information, the author encourages us to find meaning and application from our daily reading and to use not only this book but other study tools as well. Of course the foundation for our study is, and always should be, the Bible itself – and “52 Weeks In The Word” works as a strong and steady reminder of this fact. Continue reading
Powerful and Amazing
Oh how I love everything about this new Bible study! “Our Father: A Study of the Lord’s Prayer” by Becky Harling is a 6-week dive deep into the well known verses of Matthew 6:9-13. Through the lessons of this book, organized into 5 days of study each week, we uncover and discover so much about the heart of God and how He wants and invites us to pray. Through this we deepen and enrich our relationship with our Heavenly Father. Continue reading
Challenging – But So Worth It
Each and every title in the Moody Bible Studies for Women has been a special blessing for me in one way or another, and the newest addition to the series is no exception. “Promises Kept: 5 Old Testament Covenants and How Christ Fulfilled Them” by Courtney Reissig takes us deep into the Old Testament as we unpack what the far-reaching word ‘covenant’ really means, and how it applies to the promises God made to His children. Continue reading
Take Your Bible Reading To The Next Level!
I often enjoy doing Bible studies where we zoom in on certain chapters, books, or topics within the Word. Sometimes though, I need to challenge myself and branch out into doing my own personal readings of the Bible, without the commentary and questions that a study book provides. But… I feel a little lost sometimes in how to get started! That is where this new volume published by Moody and written by James F. Coakley comes into play, and is such a great help to me. “14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible” is a treasure trove of insight, wisdom, and practicality that helped me take my personal reading (and enjoyment) of God’s Word to the next level!

A Much-Needed Book For Today
“We can get overwhelmed by the enemy’s roars to the point that we no longer hear the loudest roar of our mighty God and the truth of His Word.” Isn’t that the case? I know it is for me. With this insightful statement ringing in our ears, author Judy Dunagan goes on to show us that we CAN fight the roars of the enemy because we have Jesus Christ, who has already won the battle, on our side. Published by Moody, “The Loudest Roar: Living in the Unshakable Victory of Christ” is a powerful little volume that will encourage, inspire, and challenge us to live as though victory is ours – because it IS! Continue reading
Convincing AND Convicting!
I did not expect to be convicted by a book about the practice of Hygge, but surprisingly enough, I was! (In the best, and most God-inspired way, of course.) “Holy Hygge: Creating A Place For People To Gather And The Gospel To Grow” was written by new-to-me author Jamie Erickson, and published by Moody in the last months of 2022. This insightful, practical, and challenging book was an eye-opener for me in SO many ways, and I am very glad to have read it. Here are just a few reasons why I recommend “Holy Hygge” to you as well: Continue reading
An Insightful Dive Into Ezekiel
I respect Erica Wiggenhorn immensely, and have gleaned so much wisdom and insight from each of her Bible studies in the past. “An Unexpected Revival: Experiencing God’s Goodness through Disappointment and Doubt – An 8-Week Bible Study of Ezekiel” is the newest of her releases from Moody Publishers, and so it immediately went on my reading list. Not only because of the author, but also because the title and subtitle resonated with me. Continue reading

Whenever a new title is released in the Moody Publishers series of Bible Studies for Women, I always am excited to add it to my collection. “Before the Throne: An 8-Week Bible Study – Finding Strength Through Prayer In Difficult Times” is the newest offering from Crickett Keeth and takes on such a relevant and timely topic. “Where do you go when life overwhelms you? Before the throne.” And if you don’t feel like you are at that point yet, this book is the perfect place to start building into the foundation of your life. Continue reading
