Overview

Leads women through the life of Moses to discover their own extraordinary purpose The life of Moses was an exceptional one. God pursued Moses, calling him to step forward into leadership and miraculous events. Instead of saying no to that invitation, he trusted that God's plan, however improbable it seemed, was the best way to live. Equipped with that faith, Moses led God's people out of slavery to the land of promise, changing their entire world. The truth is we're not that different. Every day we're called to follow God's lead to do things only we can do. And like Moses, we must each choose if we will take the path God guides us to--or follow our own way. Through this inductive ten-week Bible study, Jodie Niznik invites you on an experiential journey along with Moses to learn just what that choice can mean. Each week starts with a spiritual discipline to move women from head knowledge to heart understanding. Then through thoughtful questions, personal reflection, and practical application, Jodie explores the text to uncover the lessons Moses's life teaches to every modern woman. Designed for either individual or group study, this first book in the Real People, Real Faith series combines inductive learning with practical spiritual disciplines, taking a new look at old stories to discover their many connections to life today.

Jodie Niznik's writing transcends mere information and targets actual transformation by transparently sharing her own struggles while wisely pointing out how Moses faced real-life issues such as dealing with discouragement, preventing pride's pitfalls, and moving past betrayal. With sensitivity and an ongoing desire to encourage her readers, Jodie introduces each lesson with a spiritual practice to help them in their relationship with the Lord. (My favorites are the first and last practices, rest and celebration!) Let Jodie take you to the next level in your walk with Christ by seriously engaging in this excellent study of Moses's life and ministry. --Dr E. Andrew McQuitty, pastor at large at Irving Bible Church and author of The Way to Brave (7/20/2020 12:00:00 AM) Moses gets the best education in the world and then promptly spends forty years tending sheep on the back side of some desert. That wilderness vocation looks like a colossal waste of purpose--until God shows up in a burning bush. Moses's story is as relevant as ever. And Jodie Niznik is a terrific guide for helping readers see how his story relates to their lives. Through this ten-week inductive Bible study, coupled with spiritual disciplines, Niznik walks readers through what the great prophet's experience can teach us about our own purpose. --Dr Sandra Glahn, professor at Dallas Theological Seminary and author of more than twenty books (7/20/2020 12:00:00 AM) What a rich study on the life of Moses! Jodie Niznik offers solid teaching and hands-on application that have the potential to transform us. Filled with outstanding questions and exercises, this study encourages a deep level of engagement. Readers will be prompted to learn from Moses's example, for good or, in some cases, as a cautionary tale in their own walk with God. --Nancy Beach, leadership coach with the Slingshot Group and author of Gifted to Lead (7/20/2020 12:00:00 AM) Choose offers a highly accessible, deep dive into one of the greatest stories of all time--humanity's move from slavery to freedom. But this is more than just a story. It's an invitation to us all to break free from what binds us and walk in the fullness of Christ. --Margaret Feinberg, author of Fight Back with Joy and More Power to You (7/20/2020 12:00:00 AM) What I love about Jodie Niznik's Choose is its fidelity to Scripture while guiding the studier into the narrative. Placing myself in the situations Moses found himself in helps me better grasp what it means to be a faithful follower today. Niznik's highly practical invitations toward spiritual disciplines further root me in the powerful message that I am loved, God has a plan for my life, and obedience brings joy. This will be a perfect Bible study addition to any ministry longing to deepen women's connection to God. --Mary DeMuth, author of over forty books, including Into the Light (7/20/2020 12:00:00 AM)
