Susan Gruener5 Stars Out Of 5Very Good Study BookNovember 1, 2014Susan GruenerWe purchased these books for our women's bible study. The book is easily read and understood. There are 2 kinds of questions at the end of each chapter - the Study Questions that are more personal in nature are helpful to 'dig deeper' into scripture in your personal 'alone' time with God. The Discussion Starters are a separate set of questions on the chapter. We choose questions from each 'list' to do each week as a group- choosing those that would be good to discuss in the group. Susie shares her personal 'struggles' in her life and writes how God can heal us of the past and still has a purpose for each of us. She uses scripture throughout the book. Although from the title and in much of the book as a whole she writes about a 'certain' beautiful purpose God has for each of us in life, Susie stresses to not forget the 'daily purpose' we have in Christ. One can apply the truths of this book to every day life as well. I would highly encourage you purchase Susie's DVD that goes along with this book. It enhances the book 100% as you listen to each half hour session that covers 2 chapters at a time. (One little humorous note: the one who did her video should take a course in where to point the camera and learn what doesn't work...we ignored these strange shots. ;) ) We do a chapter a week and show the DVD every other week, to cover the next 2 chapters. We do not study the book as she suggests. This book as we study it will take about 14 weeks. Since we have a few new Christians that are just learning about God's plan for them and learning the Word this book is a good study for them, as well as someone like me who has known God for 48 years. Everyone can glean from the truths Susie presents in this book.

Daws1996VirginiaAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Refreshing...November 10, 2013Daws1996VirginiaAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Imagine a warm, sunny day. The grass is soft and bug-free, the temperature just perfect for relaxing. The water gently trickles over rocks and other obstacles. Perhaps this isn't your ideal place for relaxation, but can picture myself stretching out on a blanket, soaking in the sun as my muscles let go of their tension. This kind of gentle release and refreshment is exactly what Susie Larson's book Your Beautiful Purpose was for me.
God knows full well whom He's getting when He calls us. page 19
What I Liked
Mrs. Larson's writing is simple and conversational, much like a letter written specifically to me rather than a book to a large audience. She conveys a lot of truth within the 230 pages of this book, always with great love, patience, and humility.
I found many things to highlight, circle, and make notes of throughout the book. Several things made me stop to think and I walked away at the end of the book with new insights into myself and fresh encouragement to stay the course God's plotted for me.
The Bottom Line - 5 stars
If you'd like a renewed vision of how God sees you and what He wants for you, then this is a great book to read. The six-session DVD makes it a great book for a small group study, and the end of chapter questions help each individual evaluate what could be learned or refreshed in each participant's heart. -
Autumn5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent StudyFebruary 25, 2016AutumnQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I have done many different women's Bible studies throughout the years, and this is probably one of the best if not THE best study I've ever worked through. I'm about halfway through at this point, but I'm loving every minute. I'm doing this at home as a personal study, and so it can be used in a group setting but it also translates well for quiet time. I love the stories that Susie shares, and I also appreciate how deep she delves into the scripture. Often times with these types of studies you will get one or other, and sometimes you need both. This study offers just that!!

debbieCAAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Hit the spot!September 4, 2014debbieCAAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This is one of those books where I actually cried when it ended, which is unlike me. It was like I had a friend who knew my heart, that spurred me on to be authentic with Jesus and to dream BIG again. She spoke directly to my heart from the heart of God. I want to read this annually to be reminded of God's purpose for my life.

Linda5 Stars Out Of 5Surprisingly deeply touchingOctober 28, 2014LindaQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Your Beautiful Purpose: Discovering and Enjoying What God Can Do Through You - eBook.A very well written can opener to your heart! I have only made it through 9 chapters but will finish soon and may reread it. To do the book justice, get a notebook and start jotting down points and words that will jump off the page. Plus you'll need it to work through the questions at each chapter end. What a revelation they brought forth! I was amazed at how she worded them so well.
I used the book in an online group setting but I bet the actual live setting would be a true life changer. If you want to jump start your love affair with God/Jesus.....GET THIS BOOK!!!!
