![]() ![]() You have to read through the passage and the question, sometimes multiple times, to figure out the answer. There are not sentences explaining what you should have picked up from the passage. First, Jackie Hill Perry asks questions and then makes you wrestle with the answers. Now, if you are like I was and raised on a good Beth Moore study, then here are the big differences. This was going to be a study that took me through the history of the Children of Israel and one that didn’t mince words when it came to addressing the sin that I have in my life and the sin of those who intentionally seek to tear down our churches from the inside. Perry had my attention by the time I got to the third paragraph in the introduction of the study. Yet, I was still wondering how you could write so much on so little. I was rather amazed that it was much longer study book than I thought that it would be (200+ pages). I was convinced that if I bought this study, that it would be barely 100 pages, because who could possibly write more than that over a book of the Bible that only has twenty-five verses? Since I was between studies, and hadn’t felt the pull of the Holy Spirit to study anything independently, I bought the study. Still, in the back of my mind was this study by Jackie Hill Perry over the book of Jude. I was even able to go attend the launch event for the book. I learned so much about enduring as a Christian through the difficult seasons of life by reading her words. ![]() Newbell’s launch team for her new book Sacred Endurance.

Yet something began to change in me the last couple of years. You have to understand, that I am the typical “Christian white girl” who has completed almost all of Beth Moore studies I could get my hands on over the years. After the affirmation from that friend, I went ahead and bought the study. Perry was someone I could trust for sound Biblical teaching. I reached out to that friend and asked if Mrs. After following her for a while, I noticed that she was speaking at a few events with a dear friend of mine. Her name was mentioned in a tweet by another person I was following, as a woman of color that Christians should be following. I had been following Jackie Hill Perry on Twitter for over a year. However, something about this study was compelling to me. I know that it would be adding to the study, but I am always amazed at how much I can learn just through the written work of many Bible studies.) I had never studied through Jude before, and if I am honest, I have never felt too compelled to read these twenty-five verses outside of my regular Bible reading program. Jackie Hill Perry’s new Bible study Jude: Contending for the Faith in Today’s Culture is a study I was curious enough about the buy and work through.( I have to admit that I am not doing the video part of the series, because that is an additional cost that I cannot afford at this time. ![]()
