This is the bible study I've been looking for. Now as a quick preface, I haven't finished the book entirely yet, however, that's only because it is so good I refuse to rush through for a deadline.
The format Ciuciu has chosen is perfect for a busy life. Each day begins with what is referred to as a "snack." This page is what I've found in so many devotionals these days: a quick reading, a few questions, and a thought or two. Here's the great part, it doesn't end there.
The rest of the chapter features the "F.E.A.S.T."( Focus, Engage, Assess, Spark, and Turn) for those with a longer stretch of time. This section is what makes this study so special, it really serves as a step by step for those who are unfamiliar with how to do an in-depth study while still posing information engaging enough for those who have been through a few books before.
I love how they take you through a process of focusing and aligning your heart, thinking through the material, and turning to worship. In many ways this study doesn't have the feel of "just a study" but reads more as a training tool with F.E.A.S.T.being applied to many books in personal study.
Also helpful are the banner sections scattered throughout the book. These usually include further readings or links to additional resources online. I found these sections either helped dive deeper into the days material or present a different angle to approach the topic, both of which were extremely helpful.
4.5 stars out of 5
I received this book from Moody Publishers in exchange for my honest opinion, all views are my own.
