This study guide of Psalm 107 is intended to be used along with the DVD video lessons and workbook, but it may also be used alone. Our ladies study group is using this as a 6-7 week course. However, the comprehensive content provided for the take-home study and group discussion can be expanded over a longer period of time. What I really like about Lauren Chandler's book is the background textual basis for examining this psalm. Psalm 107 is a long psalm in a verse style that contains intentional sections. With clever insight, the author uses them to form the chapters of her book, which cover various periods of trial in our own lives: walking through Desert times of disobedience, dealing with Chains of bondage, confronting the results of Folly, and riding the Storms that come upon us. Throughout these themes, Ms. Chandler refers to Scriptures that remind us continually of the faithfulness of God in His steadfast love. This love is expressed powerfully in the presence of God as we face difficult experiences and learn how to depend on the promises in His Word. Lauren Chandler also makes good use of verses to develop the historical meaning of the content of this psalm as it was originally written about the people of Israel in their desert experience and so on. As the author also illustrates the concepts with personal experiences, she presents some of the struggles and triumphs of her own journey. Her uplifting focus points to the ways God has used this psalm to encourage and build her walk with the Lord. I highly recommend this study for the believer for its good solid content. It is also friendly to the seeker and includes a clear presentation of salvation. On the downside, in some places the writing manner is somewhat choppy or abrupt, but this is a minor observation as overall the content is well done. One other point, which is in no way intended to be negative, Ms. Chandler's style and personality may best appeal to the younger woman. However, her fresh faith is also a fine and endearing example to the middle-aged woman like me. Be prepared for a lot of page turning in your Bibles and some heart searching questions to stir your response!Read full review
