Good study, a tad repetitive with the video lessons and the bonus lessons but good lessons. I enjoyed her full book the best.

Beneficial study
I thoroughly enjoyed this Bible study. Unfortunately, I didn't have a group to do it with. I would like to do it sometime with close friends because I think it would be even more beneficial in a group study. But, even individually, it is very practical, beneficial, and helped me understand the concepts from the Bible better. I read the book before I did the study and I recommend doing that too.

This was a great book about when God doesn't do what you expect him to do and that it will still be ok.
I am a fan of Laura for life.
