It took me a while to get through this devotional mainly because I wanted to use it as the author intended it be. I enjoyed Anderson's leadership approach to the book of Joshua and it gave me the opportunity to discover other parts of Joshua's story that rarely highlighted. Nonetheless, I felt that "Leading Where You Are" seemed more of an accompanying guide to a whole book than a study alone study.

First time reading a book from this author. Took a little to get into reading. Overall, good book covers a great topic.

This review is more of an overview of this Bible study. Here’s my disclaimer: I read through much of the content, but I did not actually do the full Bible study itself before writing this review. However, because I did read much of this from an ebook copy, I want to buy a printed copy and schedule a time to do this Bible study with a small group. It looks like an excellent, detailed, thoughtful study of Joshua, with the main emphasis being on leadership. I loved the fact that before the author actually begins the study, she took the time to explain in detail how to do the study and provide links to excellent additional resources, She also discusses some the different translations of the Bible, and I found this very helpful. This study will make you dig deeper into your Bible and take the time to absorb all the lessons along the way. I’m guessing it would take 20-30 minutes each day to complete a lesson. As I said before, this one is going on my list of next year’s Bible studies.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Leading Wherever You Are: 7 Weeks int he Book of Joshua is one of three new studies by Teresa Swanstrom Anderson, and you are not going to want to miss a single one! It is absolutely brimming with new insights, helpful charts, thoughtful questions, all of which get you digging deeper into Scripture than before. Not only does Teresa lead you into Joshua, but she also teaches you how to study and introduces other resources that can help you as you grow. I have done my fair share of Bible studies over the years, and while others have left me disappointed with a shallow outline or overwhelmed by being all story and no scripture, Teresa's studies are a breath of fresh air and exactly what I was looking for! I cannot recommend them enough!

( received complimentary e-copy in exchange for review )
Since this was a ' read-to-review ', I did not take 7 weeks with this title. However, I am certainly going to schedule at least a full 7 weeks, as this study is very deep. Cannot wait to soak up all that is offered! Highly recommended!

I am currently working my way through “Leading Wherever You Are” and am loving it so far! I love how Anderson lays out in the introduction with apps and Bibles to reference throughout the study, and that she also shares how to navigate them. She reminds us early on in the study that by being a leader, it is our job to “raise up the next generation to take our place.” That is such a great reminder of what it is to be a great leader. Anderson does a great job presenting questions throughout this study to challenge us and to push us to dig deeper. Her study is not one you just read through and answer from the text, she makes the reader do some research that allows the reader to find greater understanding. She wants us constantly referring to our Bible and various translations I love that she includes a family tree for Joshua. There are so many names throughout the Bible and I often get confused by their connections. I'm learning practical ways to build my own leadership skills to lead well in all areas of my life through her study. Highly recommend!

I just thumbed through my new bible study and I can't wait to get started!!! I am encouraged and excited to dive deep and meet my dear friend Jesus who has, to be honest been buried in these crazy days of Covid, since schooling at home began my schedule has been whacked out of normal and I NEED so much to find my way back. This study is exactly what I need to show me the way back to my faith. What wonderful timing!!!
Finishing day one of the study was like meeting an old friend. The writer's style is also friendly and I appreciate the suggested bible study apps to assist in my study. I like that each day's study includes a place to write out a prayer and has a suggested prompt.
This study is exactly what I was looking for to bring me back to my walk with Christ. I'll be sure to do a follow up review when my study is complete. .

Wow, Teresa has gone above and beyond to make all the books in this study approachable for someone who is just starting out with digging in deep. It’s easy to follow, not intimidating yet packed full of truth. A life changer. I have a feeling this is one I’ll be coming back to regularly.

I'm still in the process of reading this one, but so far, SO good. As an academic, it is really important to me that people have done their research when publishing studies such as these. I really believe that to be the case here, and especially love how the author breaks out the "history lessons" for the reader. This paragraph in the intro captured me from the get-go: "If we want to be bold women who love God deeply, we must be women of Scripture... we need to make sure we're not spending more time in books about the Bible than in the actual Bible." I grew up in a church where, in my experience - aside from the readings at mass, the traditions often supercede the Scripture. So as an adult, finding my way through the Bible has been a more complicated process. Teresa is thoughtful and thorough, and makes this process more manageable. The study asks you to consider aspects - philosophical, spiritual, and historical - that you might not otherwise encounter. Looking forward to seeing what else is in store with this one.
