Catherine Martin (1) (1956–)

A fine Bible study on faith. Catherine Martin writes studies with such depth and insight. Through God's promises seen in the lives of many who walked in faith (shown to us in Hebrews, the Gospels,and Romans), this study is so rich and filled with God's promises, not only to and for them, but to and for us today.

I love Catherine's studies as she poses questions and gives Scripture to look up in relationship to the questions. She loves the old generations of Christian writers, theologians, missionaries, and others, quoting their words in short devotionals on each day's study. The study is eight weeks long, but you can take as long as you desire. Each day follows a pattern: Prepare Your Heart, Read and Study God's Word, Adore God in Prayer, Yield Yourself to God, Enjoy His Presence, and Rest in His Love....PRAYER. Each week has five days in this pattern of study, and then the weekend is one day of reading a devotional and pondering the week's journey that you have just completed. There is plenty of room for making notes and plenty of depth to touch the heart of God, should you be quiet and ready to hear Him. I have done many of her studies and find each one to grow me a bit more in one direction or another towards God. There have been several that I have done twice. I highly recommend any one of her studies.

What is Grace and how do you get it? Catherine Martin answers these questions in her inspirational and spiritually up-lifting book, 'A Woman's Walk in Grace'. 'A Woman's Walk in Grace' is a gentle and well-written book on the subject of sanctifying grace in a style as gentle and charming as it is spiritual and inspirational. The book is written by the Director of Quiet Time Ministries and is written in stories about ordinary people who in spite of setbacks have found grace in the Lord and this grace has turned their lives around and have enriched them with this profound, God-given gift. How can someone who has experienced sadness and every unimaginable pain in life bounce back with resiliency and turn all misery and pain around? The answer is summed up in this verse from the Bible:

Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ.
To him be the glory, both now and in the day of eternity. Amen.
2 Peter: 3:18

The book has inspirational stories and positive affirmations of grace that you can put to practice on a daily basis.
