Ezra Unleashing the Power of Praise: A 7-week Bible study

by Carol Tetzlaff

I found revival in these pages, the cure for listless and lifeless worship-and so will you. Promise. -Lee Nienhuis, host of the Moms in Prayer Podcast, author, and international Bible teacher
God created us to be worshippers. Our worship is not defined in a corporate setting of our local church gathering but is found in the common places of our lives. It is the praise of our soul that weaves its way through the very fabric of our days from the kitchen sink to the boardroom table.
Through the Old Testament story of the people of Israel who are released from exile in Babylon, Unleashing the Power of Praise is a powerful study of the book of Ezra, along with the minor prophet Haggai, to discover how to reorient your life of worship.
During this seven-week study, you'll walk alongside the exiles, and their story will come to life as you experience their return to proper worship through not only the rebuilding of their temple, but the rebuilding of their lives from broken to beautiful. You'll discover how they gained an identity in God to transform their hearts and minds for a life of worship, and you'll also learn how to
- break free from selfish desires; - reorient your worship toward God through daily sanctification; - recognize God in the everyday and listen to His voice; - realize your identity in Him; - keep your heart focused on God; - identify misaligned worship.
With guided Scripture reading, questions, and prayers, this study will revolutionize your view of worship and inspire you to live a life surrendered to God.

I found this study to be both refreshing and enlightening. The author reminds us that we can worship God in everything we do. And she brings an important awareness of how easily we can replace our continual worship of God with things as simple and important as our responsibilities in our busyness. I especially appreciated the attention to seldom-used OT scriptures, which are often skimmed over, and she pointed out their importance when she paralleled them with other scriptures, which revealed more detailed information for the reader’s knowledge. Overall, this book offers a valuable message that is relevant today. Although I read this individually, I would have appreciated participating in a group study. Frequently, I felt it offered opportunities for good conversation with others that I missed out on.

An excellent women's Bible study about the book of Ezra. I learned a lot from the commentary and the perceptive questions made me think and be reflective. Highly recommended.
