When Strivings Cease Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video: Replacing the Gospel of Self-Improvement with the Gospel of Life-Transforming Grace

At first, I was so upset that the code in the book for the videos didn’t work. And then when I got in I had to pay. That should be made clear in the description. HOWEVER, THIS BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND HEART TRANSFORMING! In my anger, I almost returned the book and I would have missed God’s ushering the change I have longer for. And I am not rushing, I am still on the first week and it’s a month! i want it to sink in fully. A MUST READ!

My group of women in their early to late 60s was a little hesitant about this study because it seemed to be for younger women (probably an assumption we made based on Ruth's age, but also the subject matter). But we were looking for a "lighter" six-week study to get us to the end of spring before we took our summer break, and this one piqued my interest.We were wrong on both counts. Not only have we been able to relate the study to our own experiences but it has not been "light." Instead it has been a challenging study full of wisdom and encourages deep conversations.The videos are not as well done as some of the other better-known video Bible study leaders (we have been doing Jen Wilkin studies the last 2 years), but the homework has been revelatory and Ruth's choices of Bible stories and passages to drive home a point are perfect!Highly recommend for women of all ages. I have also purchased her book and her writing is clear and beautiful.

I love this book we use it for our ladies Bible Study and it has taken us all to the next level in our walks with Christ. You want to order this study guide and lead your women down a road of grace.

The videos that accompany the book are very beneficial.

This was the best Bible Study I’ve ever done. Ruth Chou Simons is an amazing author and daughter of Christ. This study is perfect for anyone because we are all in need of God’s amazing and perfect grace! ❤️

I love Ruth Chou Simons and the When Strivings Cease Bible Study has not disappointed. I love her words, the scripture she uses, and the connection to Christ she has.

One of my favorite Bible studies I’ve walked through. I’ve loved going through the online Bible study option through FaithGateway with a small group of friends. We meet on the weekend to discuss further. We’re discovering grace in a completely new light and peeling back the layers of lifelong striving. Highly recommend! Ruth’s book that is a companion to the study (but not required) is great, as is her new Gracelaced podcast.

The access code given to stream the video doesn't work and customer service from the company was not equipped to properly deal with the problem efficiently.
