In His Presence

"I don't do books! I only do Bible Studies!" I always say that! HOWEVER, a friend told me about this study one morning and I went off that day in 2002 to spend a few weeks in a small group over the summer. This is the most incredible Book and it IS a Bible Study Book. I have never felt more loved and adored by my Lord as I have since beginning this study. Debbie Alsdorf was anointed by God to write this book for us! This is a study that lifts you up to HIM. Don't miss it! I have added this paragraph much later - this is 2006 - and since I wrote this review back in 2002, we have become Catholic and have grown so much in the beauty of that wonderful discovery of a Church over 2000 years old, the beauty of the High Worship and Sacraments. I think this book of Debbie's increased in my heart an even deeper searching for the worship we have discovered. On looking back, now as a Catholic, and doing great Catholic Bible studies, I still find this particular study as good as ever. The author does have Catholic roots so she has the appreciation of the One True God and seeking for Truth. I still recommend the book!

From A Velveteen Reader

My name is Brenda Waggoner. I am a Christian counselor and I wrote a book entitled The Velveteen Woman. It's about how the unconditional love of God transforms our lives to REAL. I want to endorse Debbie Alsdorf's Steadfast Love wholeheartedly. Whether you are a seeker, or you've been a Christian twenty years or more, the good news of God's incredible love for His children never gets old. To have a Bible study focused on the LOVE of God is so powerful, so necessary. I believe our greatest need as Christian women is to know, really know, not just in our heads but in our hearts, that we're loved by God. In doing this study, Debbie serves as a connecting link between Jesus and the reader, puts us in touch with Him. You will be powerfully moved by His Steadfast Love!

Steadfast Love

You are loved with an everlasting love. Do you know this? Does your heart ache for a love that is faithful and true... no matter what? This is the very love that God has for you! Have you messed up - again! - and feel like God couldn't possilby love you any longer? Then grab this book, and find out the truth! Debbie dives deep into the fathomless ocean of God's great and steady love, through an in-depth, yet refreshingly practical and simple, study of God's Word. Among the many other things, you will learn that God's love for you is steadfast and fixed on you. There is nothing that can separate a child of God from His everlasting love! Do this study and learn for yourself! Open this book and be prepared for your heart to find the security and confidence in a Love that will not let you go, reject you, fail you, or leave you. God is Love, and His love is steadfast.

Steadfast Love by Debbie Alsdorf

I would recommend the STEADFAST LOVE bible study (as well as the second book in the series, LIVING LOVE) to Christians and non-Christians alike. I believe it was written especially for women, however, the author's ideas go beyond gender and really pinpoint what matters to all of us as human beings... acceptance and the need for feeling loved and valued as individuals. I especially like the format this author uses in her studies. I am a visual type of person and when I write down concepts and check word definitions, I understand and remember them much better than I would if I only read through them. This study was so wonderful, in that the author has the reader/participant look up and actually write out word definitions and bible verses. Debbie asks simple questions to have the readers determine for themselves what they believe the verses are saying and then, rather than leave them wondering if they have really understood the idea, she goes on to give the answer. I also enjoyed the little glimpses into her personal life experiences that have taught her, first hand, God's all-encompassing and unconditional love. She impresses on each reader that God wants a personal relationship with EACH ONE of us and that ALL of us are precious in His sight. Lesson #4 was my personal favorite... where Debbie uses Psalm 139 to show us how "fearfully and wonderfully" we were made. Then she continues on in Lesson #5 to point out that God had all our days written out before we were born... in other words, He had a real design and purpose in mind for each of our lives when He was creating us. How awesome to know that we are here for a reason and no matter what others may think of us, We are unique and truly special to God! After all, in the whole scheme of things, what else really matters? When we really "own" the concept that God loves, values and truly cherishes us, we can move forward with confidence knowing that He is always by our side and we have nothing to fear. I really love books with happy endings!

Not everyone can do what Debbie Alsdorf has done. She has taken her walk with God and turned it into a great source of help and inspiration for the rest of us, through Steadfast Love. Because she has walked with God, step by step, hand in hand, through the ups and downs of life, Debbie has learned that God is real and His love is steadfast - NO MATTER WHAT! Do you know this in your relationship with God? You will!Each page is like being across the table from Debbie, doing the study with her. She is that personal! Mrs. Alsdorf allows herself to be real and vulnerable so that through the sharing of her life's failures, victories, joys and sorrows, we can be encouraged that God is always with us, loving us, enjoying us - AS IS. Her God is our God, and through this study we grow to see just how much we are loved by Him, who is Faithful and True.In Steadfast Love, your heart will embrace the truth of God's love for you through Scripture and her own stories of His faithfulness. Do this study, and you will never be the same!
