Over the years, I’ve been known to purchase and attempt to complete several Bible Study’s.  I’ve not been very sucessful at it.  I’m not sure the reason, but my typical pattern is to be gung-ho for the first week, with my attention waning somewhere around the beginning of week 2.  Now, I’m not saying that I haven’t completed any… but I’m best when I am part of a group study.  Not so good on my own.

So I wondered when I agreed to review this 4-week Bible study, if I would be able to finish it and be able to give an honest and truthful review for the author.  Well… Praise Jesus!  Yes.  I finished it!  I loved this study.  I was sad to see it end.  I truly did wish that there were a few more weeks worth of study.  I do hope the author is working on her next study… she is truly gifted!

Check it out, I think you’ll be blessed as I was.

Tested By Fire: Will What You Build Survive? by Kelley Latta

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“When Christ returns and tests your life with fire, what will the flames reveal? Are you living your plan or God’s purpose? One day every believer will stand before the judgment seat of Christ. What will you discover? Are you building on Christ’s foundation for our life, or do you strive to do works in His name that will not stand? How you live matter.”

Over the years, I have started more than a few Bible Study workbooks, with all intentions of completing them, yet somehow, after a week or so, they fall by the wayside. Not so with this one. With the study by Kelley Latta – “Tested By Fire: Will What You Build Survive?” – I truly looked forward to each day’s lesson.

Over the course of this 4-week study, the author – using Old and New Testament teachings and references – helps us with the key lessons:

– Learn what it really means to live by faith
– Discover and live out God’s will for you
– Abandon wearisome striving to produce good works
– Become a “living stone,” propelled by the power of the Spirit
– Leave a legacy that invites God’s blessings and survives the judgment at the end of days

“Tested By Fire: Will What You Build Survive?” is a great bible study that can be used in a group study (the book includes a small group discussion guide), or one that you can pursue on your own. I also feel that it would be a good study for both the New and “Old” Christian. Either way, you will be blessed.

It is my hope that Ms. Latta will bless us with more studies like this one.
