Nurturing a Heart of Humility: The Life of Mary

This was the first time I've done an Elizabeth George Bible study book, and I loved it! Each lesson takes only about 15-30 minutes to complete, but the nuggets of truth that you gather from the lesson can impact you for a lifetime. I studied this book with several other women in a small group, and we had lots of great discussions that sprang from the questions that Elizabeth George asked in her book.I had a lot to learn from the topic of focus of this book: Humiility. What a neat experience it was to learn about humility from Mary, mother of Jesus, who followed and obeyed God so faithfully. I learned a lot from Mary's example as a child of God, a wife, a woman, and as a mother.Each chapter of the study guide goes through an episode of Mary's life - from the virgin Mary who was told she would bear the Christ child, to the Mary who watched her son [and Savior!] endure the cross and triumph over sin and death. I have never learned so much about Mary's life as I did through Elizabeth George's study guide! I would definitely recommend this book to any woman interested in growing in their faith and into more of the likeness of Christ. I can't wait to go through another book by Elizabeth George!
