Becoming MomStrong Bible Study: A Six-Week Journey to Discover Your God-Given Calling

Not for the spiritually mature
Okay, I wanted to like this book study, but nearly every chapter I found to be remedial. If you are new to your faith, discovering biblical principles and just starting to renew the way you live, this book is great. She does a great job of relating her teachings to scripture. However, if you’re a consistent Bible student, have been going through the natural life transformation Christianity brings about, and have changed your sin habits, you will likely find this book dull like I did. I hope I don’t sound like a know it all, but the concepts in this book really are basic. There are almost two whole chapters dedicated to staying out of drama. For me it was a huge, “duh.” I do think the book was well written and there were definitely a few aha moments for me, just not enough to warrant 5 stars. 4 stars because her study and book are biblically sound. I think it would really great for moms who have just found Jesus.

Do not pass this one up.
This companion to the amazing book by Heidi St. John, "Becoming MomStrong" is thick!!! I don't just mean page numbers - this bible study is the meat and potatoes of applying God's simple truths to the every day lives of women. This book is all about growing deeper roots in scripture and growing closer to the God who loves us. It's liberating without corrupting truth and it's a gentle challenge to the uniquely designed female heart.I've enjoyed other studies by Beth Moore - this study, in comparison, is more specifically applied to woman who have influence in the life of a child.I've read many parenting books that American Christian culture has produced and honestly - none are more life giving. None are as rooted in Scripture. I've never read a Christian book that puts such a great emphasis on developing your own unique walk with God rather than trying to apply someone else's formula to your unique home and family. No more cookie cutter parenting - discover what truths God wants to speak to your life and your family...because no other book can do that - only God can and Heidi's book and Bible study gently holds the hand of the reader and leads them to the Life giving well.Heidi also isn't turning the mole hills into mountains here - she has experienced truly deep hurts and has experienced God's grace and healing. This book is a testimony to what God has wrought in her life that it might bring others who hurt to a place of healing and victory.

I wasn't sure if my daughter would make the time to read the book, but was happy she did.
It seems that the “title/image provoking cover” inspired my daughter to make the time to pick up the book and read it. I am continuing to pray for God to work in her heart and use this book as a tool to deepen her faith, trust, and belief in her Lord. I know that He will bring his prodigal child back to Him soon.Both my granddaughter and I pray every day for her mommy’s heart.🙏🏼

Perfect Companion Guide to Becoming Momstrong book
I recently had the privilege to read through this book as part of the launch team. It was such a blessing in my life as a mom of a three year old. With so much I could say about this book and it's sweet author, Heidi, I will leave it at this. There are many devotional books out there and many self-help books, if you will; however, this book is the first of its kind that I have read which is really a call to moms to point them back to the Word of God. It is not meant to be a devotional book. It is mean to be a battle cry to mom's that we need to be spending our devotions in the Bible! Heidi is honest, brutally honest at times, about her journey as a mom of 7 and it speaks to every mama's heart!

Message moms need to hear!
This was such a good study! It's so easy nowadays to hide from and try to ignore all that is going on around us, and seclude our children in hopes that the culture won't influence them, but guess what? That doesn't work! Our children (and others) need to see us stand up for what is right and true and not be steamrolled by the culture. This study helps you realize your children will (and need to) look up to you, and they need to see you being strong. Like the author always says, off the bench and into the battlefield. Fabulous message and so needed today!

Great studies but too long for a busy mom like me
I LOVED the book and I decided to get the Bible study. I like the studies but I feel like they’re too long for moms...I don’t have a lot of time to sit down and do a bible study, and even though I try to do a bible study every day, with this one particular bible study it’s almost impossible to finish a whole study in one session. So I have to break it in two and it makes me feel like I didn’t finish what I planned. The studies are deep and thoughtful and helpful for moms who are trying to follow God and entrust their lives and loved ones’ lives as they raise their children.

Great material covered
We use this in a bible study. I was sad that the book that goes with it never arrived but the last leading the bible study has the book and I'm able to follow along easy with the study book.

A 6 week study packed to the brim with great material
When I ordered the companion "6 week bible Study" that accompanies "Becoming MomStrong", I was bowled over when I flipped through and saw just how much content there was in there! Talk about a "bang for your buck"?! I challenge any busy mum to get through a chapter of that book in a week without completely forgetting to do anything else in the home! It is a book PACKED with so much great material. Each "week" deals with a different where we need to "become". It kicks off with asking you some relevant questions to answers, before Heidi then shares a little "note" from her heart. Next comes an overview of the topic with more questions for you to answer. Next we jump into God's Word to "fill in the blanks" on some verses that direct us to this topic. We further move into scripture, really digging into each topic and how it relates to our life. We then have "A voice from the Bible" where Heidi points us to a Bible woman who exemplifies the character trait that we are studying, further applying it to our modern day life. She wraps up each week of study by reviewing what we have studied and then showing us how we can "take action". Seriously, there is SO much to take in and to study - I cannot praise it highly enough. It would be an excellent resource for your own personal study, a mums' study group, homeschool mums' group, or even on a one-to-one basis with another mum you know who needs encouragement. You could do it in 6 weeks, or over any other longer stretch, because I say again - there is just SO much in there! Thank you, Heidi, for the work you have put in to producing such a quality study book.
