Jun 26 2009 12:01PMExcellent - Thank you for sharing your gift with me.
I am thrilled to have this opportunity to share how Session Two touched my life. I told everyone who talked to me that day about it and I e-mailed my sisters and family the following comment. "Today I am taking a Beth Moore Bible study on the book of Esther and I discovered a marvelous truth. TYhis is a Living bible translation, "Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down her on earth" Colossians 3:2. Then in the study Beth Moore talked about Mordecai and how he wouldn't bow down to Haman who was second in command and how Joseph fled from Potiphar's wife. She said that Joseph's made up his mind and was stronger than his mood. Likewise, the sight of Haman didn't just hit Mordecai the wrong way one day when he was feeling so contentious that he bucked the system and refused to bow. Even on the days when buckling his knees would have seemed easier than being harassed. Mordecai's made up his mind was stronger than his mood. I was so encouraged by this verse because I have been studying God's word since I was a teenager. I use to go to Bible study with my mother in law on Wednesday evenings at St James Methodist Church. I have been encouraged to memorize scripture and I know it is important and after this day of Bible study, I realize it is even more important but I have a problem with memorization. god is working on my heart. Lord help me to memorize your word. Thank you for being faithful to your calling. I have been blessed. Melody Ryals

Mar 23 2009 11:48AMpowerfully touching and such an eye opener about myself
This study opened my eyes to things I didn''t realize I was guilty of. It is not just a Beth Moore Bible study, it is a gift from God. The morning after a weekly group session, my just turned nine year old son asked me what part of Esther I was studying. I simply told him the point we were at. He said, "Oh mom, didn''t that make you stop and wonder if you were guilty of being like Haman sometimes?" Wow, I was floored with his question but we then sit down and had an in-depth discussion on Esther. This was one of the great moments of parenthood when you see this type of recognition, realization, and understanding of Christ in such a small child. Thank you Beth for such obedience to God in relaying his messages to us.

It did not have the answers to the workbook in the back.
I used the audio series and it is difficult at times to catch the blanks to fill in. In previous studies, Breaking Free, and Believing God they were in the back. That is the only reason I buy the Leader guides for personal use.
