This I Know

This I Know: Trusting Your Unknown Future to a Known God *****
by Laura Dingman

Overview: Laura Dingman wrote this Bible study to explore how we can trust God with the unknowns in our future because He knows all. She says, "This I Know helps us learn more about the God who has made Himself known in the printed pages of His Word. When we know and experience God, our unknown future doesn't look so daunting."

The book is broken down into daily readings and questions for five study times a week for a duration of six weeks. The beginning of each week has a page with a quote and an introduction to the week's theme. There is also a memory verse for each week. 

Each daily study has a different method of study including "Listen, Linger, Learn, Live," S.O.A.P (Scripture, Observations, Application, Prayer), imagining yourself in the setting of the scripture, and more. Each day's study ends with a prayer and a journal prompt.

Positive elements: The diversity of the Bible study methods make the study interesting and new each day. The book is beautifully laid out.

Negative elements: Some of the questions were hard to understand and figure out, especially for newer believers.

Conclusion: I am going through this study with another woman. I enjoy getting to talk with her about what we're learning. It isn't as deep or though-provoking as some other studies I've done from Moody Publishers, and sometimes the scriptures feel like they are all over the place. But I know that God always uses His word to teach us. And who of us can say we don't need God to teach us to worry less about the future? :) 

I haven't finishes this study yet. So, this is my perspective so far.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
