Why Her?
by Nicki Koziarz
I first picked up this book while looking for a Bible study for our youth girls. The book takes you through the lives of Leah and Rachel, and focuses on women and their inevitable comparisons. Someone is always smarter, prettier, has a better job, the list goes on and on. Why can’t I, why can’t you, why can’t we just be satisfied with what we have and the person God made us to be?
The book is divided into 6 topics or truths:
-You Need to be Honest
-See It Like It Really Is
-You Don’t Always Have to be Okay
-You Didn’t Do Anything Wrong
-Her Gain is Not Your Loss
-Let the Success of Others Encourage, Not Discourage You
Is there anybody else that feels like they need to read this book after reading the topics? There are two options available in the study.Why Her?is written as a book and would probably mean reading independently with group discussion. It is more story and less Bible. The study book is entitled Rachel & Leah and gives more in depth coverage to the Bible story, delving into all the characters and motivations. There is also a version of the study book written for teen girls. There is an optional video that goes with each of the study books, but from the looks of the book I have you will not have to have the video, it is extra info. The video does cost to download.
A while back I had read part of the Why Her? book and judging from the amount of underlining and note writing I did, I think I got a lot out of it. Think I might go ahead and finish it now!
