Revelation: Discovering Life for Today and Eternity.
Join the online Bible study (2/4 – 4/8) with Sue Edwards! And invite your friends to join you.
Sue will be posting weekly on the Year of Discovery Facebook Page and interacting with groups and individuals around the country going through the study at the same time. Women will be able to discuss the study with each other and ask questions via Facebook. Once readers complete the Revelation study, Edwards will be going through the Ephesians study in the same way. (An April 11 Facebook launch party will be followed by an April 15 – June 17 online study.)
Women need Bible study to keep balanced, focused and Christ-centered in their busy worlds. However, many find it difficult to set aside the time and discipline needed for an in-depth study. The Discover Together studies offer tiered questions to allow readers to choose a depth of study that fits with their individual lifestyles or schedules, even if they vary by the week, month or season. Completing each lesson requires about one-and-a-half hours. Readers still receive in-depth Bible study but with a minimum time commitment. For those who desire a more thorough study, including an opportunity to learn more about the history, culture and geography related to the Bible, Edwards has provided “Digging Deeper” questions. Answering these questions may require outside resources such as an atlas, Bible dictionary or concordance and challenge readers to examine complex theological issues and differing views more closely.
Edwards and Kregel are especially excited about the new Revelationstudy that has been added to the series. “I have focused on five special chapters—the first three and the last two—passages that I believe are most pertinent for Christians today,” writes Edwards. “I find a thorough investigation of these five chapters the most beneficial as we consider how God wants us to prepare for the end.” “The first three chapters paint a glorious picture of the resurrected Christ and record his seven letters to first-century churches. These early churches represent the different kinds of churches that have existed through the ages. The letters both commend and point out deficiencies in these churches, providing lessons to help us get ready for our future,” Edwards continues. “The last two chapters unfold with unspeakable energy, beauty and promise, as John describes what Jesus shows him: a new Eden, redemption’s climax and our eternal home. Walk with me through these incredible pages, and experience the blessing that God promised to all who read and heed.”

My Review:
For practically as long as I can remember, I have been doing Bible studies, whether on my own or in a group setting. I have taught them, and I have also been a student. I love the fact that this Bible study is written for women, and it is based solely on the Word of God. There is nothing better than studying a book of the Bible in its entirety. Revelation can be an overwhelming book, but this study certainly breaks this heavy book down into easily digestible pieces. If you wish to dig deeper, you can. But no matter what, you will be studying the Bible and understanding it in a way perhaps you have not before. Whether in a group setting or individually, this Bible study is excellent, and I look forward to Ephesians as well. This definitely gets a 5-star rating as far as I am concerned. I also like the fact that there is actually room to write your responses. Some Bible study books don't give you enough room to answer.
I was sent a copy of this book i exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
