“Forever”. That was the last chapter of “Becoming More than a Good Bible Study Girl”. Chapter 18-Forever.
Sadly, the book cannot last forever and instead, it ended with a beautiful chapter talking about forever with our Heavenly Father. Reading and working through “Becoming More than a Good Bible Study Girl” was an amazing journey, because it is more and wasn’t about how to effectively bible study.
Thankfully to our Heavenly Father, is that our relationship with our Heavenly Father is forever
There are plenty of tips and articles and books about the subject, but “Becoming More than a Good Bible Study Girl” was about something bigger-It was about when the study ends, like all book studies does, and where do we go from there.
What I enjoyed about the book, was that it challenges you not to just look for the next great bible study, but instead, it discusses about how to start basing our relationships with our Heavenly Father not wrapped around book studies or great speakers we admire, but to go beyond that and focus on experiencing a very personal and intentional relationship that begins where the book studies end.
From the publisher details about this book,
”
Like many women, Lysa TerKeurst knows what its like to consider God just another thing on her to-do list. For years she went through the motions of a Christian life: Go to church. Pray. Be nice. Yet she wanted a deeper connection between what she knew in her head and what she felt in her heart. She wanted to personally experience Gods presence.In this latest book, drawing from her own remarkable story of step-by-step faith, TerKeurst invites women to uncover the spiritually exciting life they long for. With her trademark wit and spiritual wisdom, TerKeurst helps readers enjoy the passion of conversation with God, discover the life-changing words of the Bible, watch God use disappointments for good, and find incredible joy as they live their faith out every day.
Whether readers are using this book individually or in a group Bible study, TerKeurst will inspire them to see that Jesus does make a beautiful difference in their livesand that fulfillment is closer than they ever thought possible.”
How true that many of us tend to treat our relationship with our Heavenly Father as a checklist of “to-do” and when done, “checking it off”.
The truth is, to have a deep, fufilling relationship with our Heavenly Father, it is something that is intentional, and never ending and Lysa shares, in an authentic and often humorous look at how we can have that deep, beautiful and real relationship with our Heavenly Father.
Your heart will be touched-Your soul will be encouraged-”Becoming More than a Good Bible Study Girl” is highly recommended if you are looking for that book to just really kick-start your relationship with our Heavenly Father into a much deeper and richer relationship.
