I like Joyce Meyers books but this study definitely showed that she’s a prosperity preacher /teacher. There were definitely questionable things she wrote in here that stunned my study group and I.

I love reading this book of the Bible, this study guide was just what I needed to go thru this book of the Bible and study. I intend on doing this study again. I have done the James, Galatians, Colossians, Ephesians & next if Philippians . I love them.

Joyce Meyer has written a brand-new Biblical study on the book of Colossians. It was written by Paul while he was in prison and he wrote it in a style of a letter to the Colossians. In this book, he discussed the importance of putting God first in your life. Joyce shared how the first chapter of the book contains 12 keys on how we can grow spiritually. These included living in the will of God, being thankful, living in faith, holding on to hope, rejoicing in suffering, and how we have everything we need in Christ, and much more. In the book, she explained to readers on how they can find out if they are living in the will of God and the difficult people facing in figuring out what they are called to do. One of the critical points she makes is that people need to be courageous and they need to step out and try and not to live in fear. And if they realize that they aren’t living in the will of God, then they can take a step back and try something else. She explained her own past with trying the church’s nursery, street evangelism, and a secretary to her pastor. She didn’t find her true fulfillment and calling until she began to teach people God’s Word. Another key area, she looked at was when Paul recommended the power of thanksgiving and how we need to thank God when we pray. We always need to be thanking God for everything He has given to us. I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is looking for a new study book. I immensely enjoyed how in-depth Joyce Meyer went into the book of Colossians. She explained the scope of each chapter broken down until everyday language where readers can understand. I also liked how she included other verses from the Bible to explore the topics of Colossians in the greater focus of the Bible. I love how she also went into details about exploring the image of God and how we have been saved from the darkness. One of my favorite chapters was the one on knowing who you are in Christ and she broke down scriptures for us to medicate on. These topics included, being strengthen in Christ, being rescued from darkness and evil forces, being thankful, being complete in Him, being chosen in Christ. I truly believe if believers would study and speak life over their lives and they would see their lives improve and change. This book has the potential to greatly influence and help readers to grow in their relationship with Christ. "I received this book free from the publisher, Faithwords for my honest review.”

In Colossians: A Biblical Study by Joyce Meyer, we take a deep dive into the book of Colossians, an epistle the apostle Paul wrote, while imprisoned in Rome to the believers who lived in Colossae. Who am I in Christ? How do I live in righteousness? What does dead to sin really mean? If these are some of the questions you’ve been asking yourself, you will find the answers in Colossians. Joyce Meyer helps shed light on not only the words of God but on how to readily walk them out in our daily lives, with her practical NO nonsense advice that we can all relate to and understand. I was given an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) of this book by Faithwords through Netgalley to read and to give an honest review. I must give Colossians a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Here’s why I believe this is an exceptional book for the soul. The way this book is written and structured is phenomenal! I loved the fact that Joyce used multiple versions of the Bible to teach from. She also included other verses similar to a Colossians verse and showed where to find these verses in the Bible. I found that extremely helpful. I spent quite a bit of time reading each section and tried to absorb everything. It’s not a book I recommend you rush through. I was so encouraged to grow in my personal relationship and walk with the Lord while reading this book. Colossians is a book I will be reading continually throughout my lifetime. What I liked most, that I haven’t mentioned above, was the Personal Reflection pages at the end of every section, where Joyce asks questions and provides a place for you to write your own answers in, so that you may reflect on them later. A physical copy would make this tool easier to use in my opinion. What I disliked most, was NOT A THING! It is truly brilliant on every level and such a blessing! Joyce Meyer is one of my favorite authors. I love this book so much! Whether you have just begun your walk with Jesus, have been walking for years, or do not know Jesus yet, I highly recommend this book, for everyone young and old.

Colossians is my favorite book in the Bible. It contains my life verse. It has so much good teaching in it and Meyer does a good job of helping us comprehend all that's there. This book is a good introduction to the epistle and is very readable. It is not really a verse by verse exposition but rather emphasizes thoughts, sometimes one verse, some times an entire paragraph of Scripture. There is no exploration of the Greek. In classic Meyer style, she emphasizes the lordship of Jesus, the dangers of Gnosticism, the importance of putting God first, how to live as a Christian in this world, who we are in Christ, the importance of our thoughts, and much more. My favorite section was the one on being “in Christ.” She even notes there is more information on this topic on her website. Meyer reminds readers that God wants us to thrive in life. (John 10:10) That requires living by God's Word. We need to study the Bible and dig deep into its truth so it will transform us. This is a good book to lay a foundation for that deeper study. This study on Colossians is divided into short chapters and would make a good daily devotional kind of reading. Meyer has added reflective questions from time to time but the style is not that of a workbook. I recommend it to lay people looking for a good devotional reading on Colossians. I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review.

Well I started out flabbergasted. In this study, Joyce is using the NIV as her base Bible translation throughout. I’m not even sure of who this version of Joyce is....or if the publishers asked her to do it. At the core of everything I’ve known about her is her use of the Amplified Bible translation. My gosh, she has even published an edition in her own name. So I’m utterly shocked for her to not use it as the main translation, and it took me a minute to collect myself and continue the study. It’s a very good study. In fact, it’s my favorite that she has put out so far. Colossians has only 4 chapters so it allows her to dive in way deeper, not only into Colossians but also into the epistles that speak on the same topics. Her depth is truly shown in the study far more than the others. And she does quite from the Amplified quite often (although I still don’t understand why she didn’t just use it all together). I read more than one section at a time, but I do see how valuable it would be as a devotional, reading one section each day. >>>>>Thank you to the publishers for a review copy of this book. My opinions are my own.

Much like the Galatians Bible study, it has the same aspects and format. When you open up the pages for this book, the author tells you that you should take time going through this book and not just skim over it. There are scripture references throughout that will be noted to help you understand the content of Colossians. She also asks questions after each section that you are able to reflect on while you are reading. She gives you plenty of space to write out your thoughts and answers in the book as well. But like I said before, if you don’t want to write in the book you should get a notebook of some kind. She does note that this book, Colossians, was also written by the Apostle Paul. What I love most about this book is that the author tells us to take our time with these books. We should let it sit and think about what we have read. She ends each book with asking this question: Do you have a real relationship with Jesus? This is one of the many things I love about Joyce Meyer. She is always reminding us as we go through her books that we can have a real relationship with Jesus. She takes all of the lessons from the Bible and helps you apply it to your daily life. It is very easy to understand through her words what God is teaching us in these books of the Bible. I highly recommend these books if you are looking for more information on what these books of the Bible mean and how you can apply it to your life. I did receive this book for review from Faith Words Hachette Book Group. All thoughts and opinions in this review are my own.

The publisher offered me a free copy of this book for review purposes and I decided to give it a shot. I've always found Ms. Meyer's no-nonsense approach to the Word of God refreshing and that certainly comes through here. She breaks the book down passage by passage and gives great insights to their meaning. As an example, when commenting on Colossians 2:2 and 3 "2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Ms. Meyer keys in on the wisdom and knowledge hidden in Christ at one point and says, "Whenever you need wisdom in a situation or any time you need to know something, the answer is 'hidden' in Christ. It is not hidden because God does not want you to find it; it is hidden because God wants you to seek it." Her comments are full of the plain-spoken wisdom I have come to both expect and appreciate. I would not go so far as to call it a commentary, but there is clearly a fair amount of research happening here, as she references other texts, the Greek, etc. As a text for a church Bible study, this book would be a great guide. The book is a quick read at 180 pages but I really do feel I came away with a better understanding of Colossians. This could be a very useful resource. Check it out.

Colossians, A Biblical Study written by Joyce Meyer is a book that you will want to take your time with, one that you shouldn't just quickly skim over, but rather read with the purpose of deeply considering the content. You may discover that certain points have importance to you, and may encourage you to make some life changes that will help strengthen your relationship with God. Throughout the book Joyce has placed Personal Reflection sections which contain questions that will help you with your spiritual growth. Every Christian should want to unlock the wisdom needed to live victorious, joy filled lives while on this earth. The Bible is the source by which that wisdom may be uncovered. Jesus Christ died to give us the opportunity to live the more than abundant life. In order to do that we must not just read the Bible, but rather we need to study it in depth. The Book of Colossians is all about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He needs to be first all the time, above and before everything else. Paul's focus on Jesus in his letter to the Colossians is of paramount importance because the believers in Colossae had been exposed to false teachings. This book by Joyce Meyer is an enjoyable read! She allows the reader to dig into the important truths that Paul puts forth in the Book of Colossians in a very clear and understanding way. Without cloaking simplicity with complexity she makes studying this important Book of the Bible easy, joyful, and fruitful.

Joyce Meyer's new Biblical study book, Colossians, is both a practical,helpful Bible study with beautiful design. Colossians starts with both an introduction on how to read the book and an introduction telling about the book of Colossians. Meyer then offers 14 chapters full of information from the book of Colossians written to help you keep your faith and God and live a better Christian life. She says that the first chapter of Colossians alone includes twelve different lessons to incorporate in to your life. She encourages readers to go through the book slowly, read the Scriptures and reflect and to try to slowly live out the lessons that you are learning. I like that Meyer writes in such a way that I can easily read and understand what she is saying to better learn how to apply the lessons from Colossians to my life. It is definitely a book that you will want to take your time reading and working through. I like how nicely this series is put together in that they are well-bound books about the size of many Bibles in dimensions. I also like that each chapter has a place for personal reflections. I do still struggle to write in these beautiful books but I find it easy to use the questions and write in a journal. I received this book from the publisher. All opinions in this review are my own. #sponsored by Faithwords

"Colossians" is a Bible commentary on Colossians that can be used for personal Bible study or even as a devotional. The author provided the Bible verses in the book (often using an amplified version). She covered several verses at a time and worked her way through Colossians. She talked about each group of verses and brought out insights to improve our understanding. She stayed focused on the verses rather than telling funny stories, but it wasn't highly academic or difficult to follow. It's written at a layman's level and contained short enough sections that it could be used for daily devotional reading. She included questions for personal reflection along with space to write in your answer. Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to better understand Colossians. I received an ebook review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
