Book Reviews by Beth
Top picks for your next women's ministry group meeting.
"Elisabeth’s life is marked by her extraordinary mission work and devotion to God. This page-turner was written using Elisabeth’s private journals and interviews with her family to tell us the story of how God shaped her along the way."
“‘Sacred Privilege’ covers ministry basics such as: protecting your private life, handling criticism and self-care. Despite the fact that she has served as a pastor's wife of a mega-church, her wisdom portrayed on the pages of this book allows the reader to relate to and learn from her words.”
“Encountering God” has been used for small group study. Participants described it as “engaging”, “Bible-focused”, “practical” and “challenging”. All of them enjoyed the depth of the study and walked away with new tools to solidify Biblical disciplines in their daily lives.
"Eliza Morgan explores the concept of prayer as a two-sided coin, minted in the messy, fiery heat of life but also spent in prayerful surrender. Using the prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane, she compares both sides of honesty (take this cup) with abandonment (not my will). Study guide included in the book."
"I was a pastor’s wife for 16 years and out of all the books on the subject, this one is my favorite. It’s not easy being married to a pastor and this book speaks practically about it with humor and life-giving truths from God’s Word that recalibrate the heart and mind."
"This guide is very practical and easy to use. Simply keep it with your Bible and each time you have your quiet time, pray for the 5 things in one of the 21 areas that are covered in this book. Each prayer suggestion is based on Scripture, so you can be confident in your prayers."
"Lots of women struggle to understand the Bible and when they do, they may quickly rely on the latest book on the topic. Sometimes they miss out on digging through those verses on their own. This book outlines a practical plan to train your mind and heart for self-guided Bible study."
"This book gives a practical and well-rounded guide to mentoring. The purpose of this book is to provide 'a hands-on tool that a mentor and mentee can use together as a springboard for mentoring discussions.' Learn more about mentoring or how you might begin a mentoring relationship."
"Research shows that 75% of young people exit the church after they graduate and fewer than 1% of those kids maintain a biblical worldview. This book will help mothers field spiritual questions in their home and teach their children to process their world through the lens of Scriptural truth."
Modern child-trafficking has many parallels with the slave trade, preying on innocent victims for immoral purposes. This book raises awareness of what is really happening in the world around us so that we can be motivated and take action to put an end to it. Everyone should read this book.
"A solid, Scripture-based 365 day devotional complete with a challenge and application for your daily life that will deepen your faith and teach you to rely on God's grace. Also includes Scripture passages for further study and encouragement. Great for personal use or to give as a gift."
"New to women's ministry? This guide offers practical information to walk you step-by-step through developing a ministry to women. It also includes things like how to plan events, how to handle difficult situations and tools to assist you in day-to-day preparation."
"IF: is all about making disciples. This 5-week daily study delves into the Bible to explore the meaning and importance of discipleship. Using Christ's method of disciple-making, it will equip you to lead others in the faith. Perfect for small group or one-on-one study."
"A video study that dives deep into the Pauline letter 1 Corinthians. Explore how the Lord calls us to lead a life of sacrifice and abandon living for ourselves. The videos are great and are available for a limited time when you purchase the study guide."
