A Great 6 week Bible study for men and women!

Come to your senses... ...and draw closer to God! Have you thought how your five senses relate to your relationship with the Lord? In this book, Tammy Melton takes you on a journey of encouragement as you develop a closer and more intimate walk with the Creator. This insightful Bible study shows the new Christian as well as the seasoned believer how to taste and see that the Lord is good, and how we can let the Lord be our vision and give us discernment. It also warns of the spiritual pitfalls that result when we misuse God's gifts of taste, touch, sight, hearing and smell. In this wonderful, new amazing Bible Study book, Loving God With All Five Senses, A 6 week journey to intimacy with the Creator by Tammy Melton, you will discover the wonderful senses God has given to all of us and how they relate to our spiritual lives. Just like we live in a real world with an overlapping spiritual realm, Tammy takes the reader through a 6 week study to show you how those same five senses we use for seeing, hearing, touch, smell and taste can overlap our spiritual ones that God has blessed us with. In the first of 6 chapters, Tammy takes the readers through 5 days of study to discover our spiritual senses and why its important for us to use these gifts we take for granted everyday to enhance our intimate relationship with getting to know God on a deeper level. The study even goes into what happens when we abuse this spiritual gifts as well as the actual five senses and how those will impact our physical and spiritual walk. This amazing study can be done as a small group study, a women's study, a mens study or even a marriage study to further enhance our relationship with God and with one another. My favorite chapter that really hit home was Day 4 of Chapter 1 study in which, Tammy explains how walls can be great in our lives to achieve a level of protection, especially when pertaining to the enemy, but in this one, she talks about the downfalls of having walls in our lives as well. Most of the time, we put them up when we have been hurt to avoid the future pain from others later in life, however it's those very same walls that keep us separated from the love and healing of God into our lives as well. Tammy even goes further into a deeper study to find out what those walls are, why we have them there, and how to break out of bad habits of self pity and how to avoid the lies the enemy will tell us to convince us how necessary those walls are in our lives. I received this wonderful book, compliments of Tammy Melton for my honest review and can't wait to go back through the book with my husband together and see how much this book will heal areas of our marriage and make us a stronger husband and wife serving Christ. I would rate this book a perfect 5 out of 5 stars.

great small group study

We were created by God as unique and wonderful creatures. He blessed us with sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. We can use these senses to grow closer to the Lord. I was reminded of a trip my husband and I took to Daniel Boone National Park. We had seen pictures of the Natural Bridge, but we wanted to see it in person. The climb was arduous. The day was hot and humid. My breathing was labored but the climb was worth it. We could see for miles around the majesty of the Lord. I suddenly realized there were tears running down my cheeks. I knew God had created this for my pleasure. I could feel. His presence in the wind. I could see it in the treetops. The air smelled fresh and clean. I knew I was in the presence of the Lord. Tammy B. Melton offers readers a Bible study that will bring the reader closer to the Lord. The going deeper section has scripture and questions to take the reader to the next level of understanding. Melton writes in a simple, easy to read and understand style. Loving God With All Five Senses will make a great small group study. It is easy to recommend Loving God With All Five Senses, it is a great read.

Bible Study

We are using this in our small group and are finding it informative and challenging.

Great read; even better as a Bible study tool.

I decided to use this book as a guide for my Bible study for a 6 week period, and it was great! Each chapter has a "Going Deeper" section that allows you to dig deeper into scriptures to emphasize the point of the chapter. The great thing about this book is that the chapters themselves are very informative and thought provoking even if you don't have the time to devote to the "Going Deeper" sections. There are numerous scripture references in the text itself, and also many fascinating facts that show the wonder of God's creation of the human body and our senses. Tammy Melton does a wonderful job of illustrating how God wants us to draw closer to him, but we have the choice to make on whether we'll recognize the awesomeness of God in us and around us, or be drawn away by our appetites. This book is easy to read and would make a great gift for a new Christian or anyone who wants to draw closer to God.
