Book Description from Goodreads:
Do you worry often about what the future holds? Do you long for peace but don’t know how to have it? Do you know factually that God is trustworthy, but not practically how to live that out?

This I Know is a 6-week Bible study for those who want to walk upon the water. It guides women into biblical truths about the character of God so they can step faithfully into the unknown, confident in the God they do know. Corrie Ten Boom said it best, “Never be afraid to trust your unknown future to a known God.”

Join Laura Dingman as she journeys through Acts 17, James 1, Habakkuk 3, Psalm 46, 2 Chronicles 20, and Joshua 3, diving into subjects like abundance in Jesus, the goodness of God in trial, and the value of remembering God’s past faithfulness. Each week offers opportunity for prayer, interaction with the biblical text, journaling, and group discussion. Using Scripture, insights from her own life, and prompts for reflection, Laura points readers continuously to the unchanging character of God, helping them surrender their lives to Him and give Him all their trust.


My Review:
This I Know is a six-week Bible study. The first week was about the importance of experientially knowing God, the second week was about what you really believe about God, the third week was about Jesus being the cornerstone of your life and decisions, the fourth week was about keeping your eyes on God, the fifth week was about trusting God even things aren't turning out as we expect, and the six week was about things we can do to remember God's goodness. Each week has a several-page-long introduction that should count as a day, then five days of study on the theme introduced for that week.

The introduction had a lot of commentary about the theme for that week and provide some verses to read. Each day had some commentary, had you read some verses, and ended with the prayer and journaling prompt. Day one was usually reading the main verses and putting yourself in the scene using your imagination. The other days would use different study methods to look at certain verses related to the theme. For example, sometimes you would read the verses four times but look at it for different things each time. Other times, you read Scripture, wrote down what observations you made about text and what stood out to you, and came up with an application for your life. I thought she brought out important, impactful points in her commentary. Overall, I'd recommend this Bible study for personal study.


If you've read this book, what do you think about it? I'd be honored if you wrote your own opinion of the book in the comments.
