It was an amazing pleasure to review this title. I have really liked this author since I read her book titled, Anything. That book greatly challenged and encouraged me so I was greatly excited for the opportunity to review this set.
The Bible study Chase retails for $39.99. It includes 1 Study workbook, 1 Leader guide, a box of discussion cards, and the teaching dvd. Comparatively it was very reasonably priced for an entire Bible study kit. I have done many of these over the years in women's ministry and they are much more expensively priced. This one is definately worth the cost.
Jennie Allen, the author, takes you through 7 weeks of Bible study centering on scriptures from the life of David. The seven weeks cover the topics of identity, courage, obedience, belief, repentance, surrender, and being chased down by God. Overall the focus is how God reaches down to us to rescue us.
In a Bible study group each participant would need a study guide. Each week they have a Bible passage and some questions to answer. Each week includes a few "projects" that can be completed to practically live out what is being taught. Essentially this leaves it open for the student to do as little or as much work they have time for meeting the need of many different participants with different time allowance and commitment levels.
When groups meet together each Dvd lesson is around ten minutes or less so they can be easily viewed while allowing enough time for community discussion. The included discussion cards will help facilitators lead these discussions while keeping them connected to the lessons learned. Again, compared to other studies I really like this format of a short video so more community time can happen between the women. It is very well balanced.
The material is Christ centered and focused. This was a very good study that did challenge me and grow me. It was a great joy to review. To get a copy at a great price right now from Amazon go here.
