We are using this study guide in a Bible study group. It is very interesting and helpful. Dr. Jeremiah is an excellent Bible teacher.

A good Lenten study book; short chapters with discussion questions over six weeks will engage our small study/discussion group

It's a good study, but I need something a little simpler for a group study. This would work best for personal study, I think.

Our book group enjoyed this book for the most part. Made for a good discussion on a number of things.

I think this is a book that would be great to study together with your child. I have kids in various stages of college - graduated, currently attending, and will be attending. I am sure that none of them would have finished this book on their own because sections like the theology/worldview chapters are harder to read. I think they would need the encouragement of us going through it with them to understand these parts. It helps that Jonathan gives simple examples for understanding of the more complex areas of the book. This is good because I am not really studied up on such things as the difference between religious particularists versus religious pluralists.

While each chapter is fairly short, I feel most contain a lot of information that needs to be read and studied further to fully grasp it. The author so kindly provides resources at the end of each chapter just for that purpose. Even though Welcome To College is geared towards students getting ready to attend college, this book seems like something most everyone wanting to truly own their faith could benefit reading through. l was provided a complimentary review copy of this book. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commissions 16 CFR, Part 255.

Enjoyed reading this book very much.  Then I donated to our church library.  I think it would make a good small group study.

Using this book as a study book for my women's spirituality group.  One of the better ones we've used in our 10+ year existence.  We like the idea of incorporating the Jewish rituals into Christian practice as espoused in this book.

My United Methodist Women's circle has used this book as a study guide. It is well written and we found it challenged our members to think about how our local church can be more welcoming and inclusive of persons with disabilities.

Good study.  I like having room for notes.  Using it in our older ladies' Sunday school class,  I recommend it.

Bible Study divided with discussion questions in front and author's take in back section. Has proven to work very well in our group study setting.

We're going through this book in our small group. There are definitely good questions in there, but some seem a little bit too obvious/basic. I think it's a good book for a group of people who have not read Ephesians before, perhaps. But I'd still recommend even if you have, because some of the questions have really gotten us talking deeper about these things!

The open ended discussion questions are good for leading a group study.  I like the into stories and the structure of the topics.

Good reading, but I think when I get the study guide it will bring a lot of the reading and studying together. Good book.

Renewing Your Mind is a Bible study book, not a read-through book. It is designed for individual or small group study. It is organized into six weeks worth of bite-sized lessons. The lay-out reminded me of the scripture in Isaiah 28 that talks about learning precept upon precept, line upon line. This study does that. It was orderly and progressive.

This book is also one small part of a large quantity of Bible study books meant to be studied together and probably in order, too.

For each day there is a suggested passage of scripture to read (not included in the text), a commentary that usually included some sort of word picture, metaphor or analogy that was easy to understand, and questions to stir your thinking intended to help with application.

The question section has room (in the print edition) to write your answers in the book. And this section seemed most suited for small groups, as I found some of the questions to be frustrating or pointless, at least without someone to discuss them with.

The first two chapters (weeks) were foundational in nature and then succeeding chapters (weeks) were focused on specific topics that are common trouble points for many Christians, that is, anger, anxiety, depression, and handling loss.

This book contains lots of nuggets of wisdom and it seemed geared towards for Christians that were believers young in their faith or perhaps those who have not ever learned some basics of the Christian life for whatever reason.

If you are newer to the Christian faith or you teach a Sunday school class or cell group with newer believers check this book out. It may be just what you were looking for!
