lcjohnson1988IndianaAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5July 7, 2014lcjohnson1988IndianaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5The first thing I do when viewing a study is to learn what I can about the author. Why? Well, for me, if that author is seeking the Lord and really digging in to the Word, it resonates with my heart. No one teacher always gets it right because after all we are all human and only God is perfect all the time. When I was reading about Kelly, I came across the following statement on page 4: "Compelled into the Word to discover Truth for herself, she encountered Jesus though the pages..." So now she has my attention because she was "compelled to dig". I pray she is still that way as well as encouraging others to as well.
Second, I went to her website and read some of her blog posts. You can learn a lot about people or at the very least get a sense of who they are when you read their writings. She seems very transparent and desires to be an encouragement to others by showing examples of those in Bible times who lived in faith. The Word of God is His Word. He left all human failings in the pages; He left what they did obediently too.
Third, I looked through the study guide before going any further. What was I looking for as I was reading? I wanted to see the content. There are four weeks of study presented and spaces to write not just answers to questions, but also to answers to challenging questions with which she ends her lessons. I like when a study is direct, doesn't have people going all over the Word but staying in a place to glean the truth for themselves.
Finally, like any study there are things some of you may really like and perhaps some things you don't, but that is as it should be. Always ask God for discernment when reading what someone has put forth in a study guide and search out in His Word any questions that are prompted in your heart. The whole idea of a study like this is to have a starting place, not the end all. Read the Scriptures in context Kelley refers to by reading verses above and below what is quoted. What matters is not what any human author says, but what He says! -
MaryMinnesotaAge: 45-54Gender: Female5 Stars Out Of 5Great Bible studyJune 18, 2014MaryMinnesotaAge: 45-54Gender: FemaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5"Tested By Fire: Will What You Build Survive?" is a great four week Bible study. It can be used for an individual or in a group. It contains a question and answer section and a discussion guide. I felt like the questions were easy to answer and not overwhelming. Yet they were also very rich in content.
I like how Kelley Latta has used both the Old and New Testament scriptures to make her point. Her book is clear and easy to understand. I think this workbook would be great for a new Christian as well as an experienced one! Some of the topics include listening, being obedient, sanctification, being Spirit-filled and basically how much we need God in our lives! Latta reminds us that it is important to take the time to listen to God, to see Him in each aspect of our lives and to be genuine in our relationship with Him!
I hope you enjoy this study as much as I did. I received this book from the Book Club Network in exchange for my honest opinion. -
ShaiNorfolk, NEAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5tried and testedJune 11, 2014ShaiNorfolk, NEAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Tested by Fire is the first of Kelley Latta's books that I've read and I found it to be a great study! Tested by Fire digs into the deeper meaning of what it means to be a follower of Christ not just in classification of word but with heart and soul. Although many claim to be Christians in labels, they fail to do what obedience requires. In this four week study, Kelley Latta teaches the steps how obedience to God's word comes from loving Christ wholeheartedly. It also means examining one's beliefs from "this is how we've always done it" to "this is what the Word of God says".
The study incorporates both Old and New Testament scriptures and references utilizing not only the instruction, but the examples of the lives of those in the bible. The workbook has a sufficient amount of personal homework to involve the participant in their own active pursuit to know God's word better. In addition, Ms. Latta provides free reference materials and continuing education along with a small group discussion guide and online videos.
The study can be used effectively for individual use but can also be expanded to include a group experience. I would definitely recommend the study as a great way to not only increase biblical knowledge but to explore through self-examination and study, one's personal faith.
I loved the way the study built the foundation of Christ and his purpose and then showed how each of us has a God designed purpose. The layout of the book was such that it could be done just about anywhere with only a bible. In addition, the study uses real life examples from Ms. Latta's own life as well as those of other known Christian speakers and teachers.
Tested by Fire is a bible study I will be recommending to my friends and family. I received this book from the Book Club Network in exchange for my honest opinion. -
Pamela JoBucks County, PAAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Building A Strong FoundationJune 2, 2014Pamela JoBucks County, PAAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Tested By Fire: Will What You Build Survive? is a four week bible study which takes the Christian reader on a journey from knowing about Jesus, to truly knowing Him. Like many of us, Kelley Latta grew up in the Christian faith, but it took years for her to find a deeper meaning to her life.
I found this Bible study to be insightful, deeply moving, and helpful in developing a stronger faith and relationship with Christ. Kelley interjects her personal experiences with scripture which pertains to her commentary. The book is divided into 5 days of study for 4 weeks. Each day finds the reader studying scriptures and then answering questions about the verses. Those questions are thought provoking and help the reader to better understand what it is to give up their plan for living and accept God's plan for their life. At the end of each week, there is a page for the reader to write down reflections about what they have learned during the week. This book is a workbook, as well as an inspirational guide. It is easy to follow and also includes a discussion guide at the end.
As I read this book, I began to really feel Christ's presence. I felt as though my deep personal and spiritual needs were being met. A greater power than my own became available to me as I continued this study and my life feels more complete because of it. God has plans for me, if I will take the time to really listen to and understand his word. What a treasure this Bible study has become to me! If you grew up knowing about Jesus, but now wish to truly know Him, then you will find this study to be a wonderfully moving journey. It will help you to build your life on the strong foundation of the Lord's word. I have the highest praise for Kelley Latta's ministry. She has made a difference in my life and I pray she will make a difference in yours, as well.
