chase is a Bible study driven by short video sessions, but
the true value is in the workbook.
Jennie Allen asks us to look at what drives us, what motivates us, and
see where that differs from what God intends for us. Based on the life of David, it leads us to begin to chase after God as David did, developing our own “heart after God’s
own heart”. We are encouraged to face
our fears, to resolve our doubts; to look at the beliefs we are holding of who
God is, and what He expects of us, in light of what He tells us in His Word.
The kit includes question cards which may be used to
stimulate discussion, along with a leader guide for a group presentation. Some of the questions are very personal; the
author is careful to emphasize the need for confidentiality among members of
the group, as well as the need to refrain from group therapy.
I found chase to
be a good tool for evaluating my own heart, seeing what is hindering my own
head-long pursuit of God, so I can take steps to remove those things. In my opinion, this study would be most
useful for an individual, or for a small group where there is already a degree
of trust between the participants.
I received this study free of charge from Thomas Nelson
Publishers, and was not required to write a positive review.
