    Full of biblical errors and unsupported "facts"

    This Bible study is so biblically inaccurate that I'm not sure how it got through the editing process for publishing. For instance, more than five times the author incorrectly refers to the books of 1 & 2 Timothy as being written BY Timothy. They were written by the Apostle Paul TO Timothy (clearly stated as such in the opening two verses of 1 Timothy chapter one). As well, the author makes a great many statements of "fact" that she doesn't support by biblical or even commentary references. Most of the statements made about Jewish life in biblical times contradict authoritative Jewish resources, including the Babylonian Talmud.

    Other examples: 1) Chapter 6 includes a study of the Fruit of the Spirit which the author continually refers to as "fruits." In Galatians 5:22, Paul specifically calls it "fruit" (singular term). 2) The author uses one verse to support her bias when the very next verse of the same passage (and the same story in another gospel) say a completely contrary summation than the author's (Chapter 2, Day One lesson). Most of her teaching comes from "plucking" out a verse to meet her bias without supporting the idea with the entire passage in the Bible or cross references.

    There are very few actual study questions for the student. Instead, the author writes her interpretation (without proper support) and then asks questions about personal feelings. The study (which feels like a "soap box" opportunity for women's rights, including continually changing the normal phrase "men and women" to "women and men") does very little to actually guide the student into studying the Word, only reading the author's poor interpretation of the Bible and answering devotion-type questions. The author spends too much time "telling" how important and validated women are rather than "showing" it through actual passages of Scripture and Jesus' own words.

    I have never had to pre-complete an entire Bible study book (which have been many) from this publisher before leading it— they've always been biblically sound–but I will never do that again. I am clearly disappointed in the author and the publisher and will likely never use any of their Bible studies in the future.
