I enjoyed this book because I was able to go through it with a good friend of mine! But looking at the book itself, it's fine. Simply because I didn't read the title fully, I was unaware it was a Bible Study when I first picked it up, but it still proved to be a helpful read. There were some parts that required discernment on our part since Heald made some statements and some assertions that I don't believe are biblically accurate, but the basic gospel message and the right response were all there so it's not an issue of salvation.
Because of the format as a Bible study, I would recommend going through this book with somebody. Even if contentment is not an issue that you struggle with personally, the topics covered are very wide and I truly believe there's something in here for every woman.
This book did a great job at clarifying what the Bible says about the spiritual realm and what we as believers need to be looking out for in terms of what the culture says about angels and demons. While there wasn't a huge presence of practical application, this was an insightful read that was a great reminder that there is a very real spiritual battle going on that we need to be on guard against! It was more educational with small bits of application, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about what God's word says about the spiritual realm.
An excellent read! Highly recommend, especially to those who are in the college and young adults age range. Clear and to the point, DeYoung doesn't waste any time beating around the bush and gets right to the heart of the matter. This book was encouraging and convicting at the same time, and I'm very thankful to have read it.
I am by no means an expert on grief. There are people who have suffered far more than I have. But I still found the practical suggestions in this little book to be profoundly helpful. Nancy Guthrie was able to put into words exactly my thoughts on how I wished people had responded when I and my family were going through seasons of grief.
Every Christian should pick up this book and read it. I promise, you will be so thankful you did.
