Experiencing God's Presence (Jesus Calling Bible Studies)

Having read a number of Sarah Young's Jesus Calling books I was keen to see how she took that material to studying the Word. This is an 8-week study that can be used in a group and/or individually. Each week has a different theme centred on Jesus' presence which is a key subject in a lot of Sarah's writings.Each week starts with considering a topic that impacts the theme for the week. So, for example, God's Presence Brings You Peace is one week's theme. The topic of consideration involves anxiety and what robs you of peace. There are a handful of questions to stimulate thought on what robs you of peace. She then uses 2 passages from Jesus Calling to illustrate how the Lord's Presence enables you to receive peace. Then there is a passage of Scripture that you meditate upon. In this example, it's when the disciples fear for their safety on the boat as Jesus sleeps below. The authors encourage you to step into the story so you imagine what it would be like. There are a series of questions for reflection and meditation.During the course of the next 5 days of that week there is a short passage for each day and 3-4 questions for reflection based around the theme for the week.I appreciated how each week was set out. The Jesus Calling material was only used as an accompaniment to the verses of Scripture. But what was most appealing about this study were the provocative and challenging questions. They really made you reflect on both the Word and your own situation. I definitely felt a greater sense of Jesus' presence as I worked through each day's activity.The book comes with a set of notes for a leader so it's all set out for a group study and I expect it would be a great exercise to do it this way.Definitely recommended.

Just bought this a few days ago because our Life Group leaders recommended we all get it and study it together. So far, it has been a really good learning tool. As with most Sarah Young books, I'd have to give it top ratings. This is my second year with the Jesus Calling 365 day devotional, and I also journal while doing it , so it's fun to look back to last years journaling and see my growth. Thank You Sarah and Jesus.

This book, Jesus Calling - Experiencing God's Presence, is an interactive Bible study that invites you to read, think, ponder what you have read, and then write a response accordingly. The provocative questions stimulate thought and practical action for me that evokes a positive change in my lifestyle. I highly recommend the purchase and participating in the study this guide provides.

This was our first time together as a Bible Study group and our first lesson in this study. Asking each lady what they thoughtwe all agreed that it is a really good study and look forward to growing in our walk with God thru Experiencing God's Presence.I would recommend it as a great individual or group study.

I ordered the wrong book, what a happy accident!!

This is a excellent devotion book! Perfect for mothers that have a busy schedule. If you like to Journal while bible reading this is perfect for you! When I am done I will defiantly order the others!

My friends and I are really enjoying this Bible Study. Each chapter just causes us to want to draw closer to our precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Easy to follow and understand while at the same time stirring your heart as you weigh your relationship with Jesus.

This is a great daily study. It makes one really search and try to understand how Jesus works with our life journey by studying how He worked through others before us.
