Book Review: Audacious

Feb 23 2016

“When did you buy that book?”

“I didn’t…”

“Then why did it arrive in the mail today?”

“I have no idea.” I flipped through the pages of Beth Moore’s most recently released book, Audacious, hoping to find a note or explanation for how this book arrived in my mailbox. Nothing. I shrugged off the confusion and moved to excitement because I had heard about this book on Twitter (maybe I won it in a contest?? or a give-away?)

Beth Moore has had one mission statement that has shaped her ministry: To see women come to know and love Jesus Christ through the study of Scripture.

One of her friends handed her a book that asked these two questions: What is your dream? What is your vision for the future?

After facing these two questions, she added two words To see ALL women come to know and AUDACIOUSLY love Jesus Chris through the study of Scripture.

Those two small words launched this book.

I’ve read through the Bible chronologically before, but I had a renewed appreciation for the Old Testament this year. As our pastor preaches through Matthew, I find myself connecting points to Old Testament passages I hadn’t noticed before. As my Sunday School girls asked questions and sought advice, I found myself encouraging them to read from the Old Testament.

Here’s a few lessons I learned or relearned from my year reading it:

The Old Testament prophecies we quote about Jesus are often located in the middle of very depressing passages.
