Debbie Williams provides her readers with a fresh insight into Colossians in her latest book I If God Is In Control, Why Am I A Basket? Every woman relates to feeling like a basket case in some area of her life, and Debbie explores them all! Just as Paul challenged the church at Colossae, Debbie challenges us to take an introspective look at areas we haven’t completely surrendered to God. This book could not be more relevant for the tumultuous times in which we live. Working through this Bible study will calm your anxious heart and put God back on the throne in your life.”

Yes! There is a way to experience peace and contentment, despite the many stresses of a fast-paced, basket-case life. Debbie Williams shares biblical truths of God’s powerful, perfect plan for the woman of today in this new study on Colossians. In her beautifully crafted book, Debbie writes from her heart, her walk with God, and her personal journey. I know you will greatly profit from her insights as I have. I’m trading my trash baskets of pain and suffering for a picnic basket full of God’s very best!

I have to tell you it was with a real "oh! no!" moment when I opened my book and realized it was the last session. You have brought to life the people that Paul was trying desperately to reach and the love with which he wrote to Christians striving to keep them close to our Savior and to give them a strong, enduring faith.

I just wanted you to know that I have taken several of your bible studies as far back as Bible Study Fellowship and I think I have been blessed more by "If God Is In Control, Why Am I A Basket Case?", than any other. I am so thankful that you have allowed God to work in your life this way and you will never know how much you have blessed so many of us in this community and anywhere His work is being sent through you. Bless you and all those who work with you in this ministry.

Dear Debbie, I just finished the "Basket Case Study" this has touched my heart every week and every week I wanted to write you but as I finished this morning my favorite song came on "Amazing Love" as I sat --and as always cried-- I had to write you and tell you how important this study has been to me. We moved here three months ago from family and friends and I realized as I was finishing this study, HOME is where my heart is with God because even in prison Paul was "at Home" and never waivering in his love and devotion and commitment to Jesus Christ. God is so wise in how he shows us things to think I almost did not come to your study, he again was reminding me to always know he is near and be his faithful, beloved daughter. Thank You (I consider you as I do all my Bible Study Sisters a Sister in Christ) --Your Loving Sister in Christ.

Something dawned on me recently, and while I'm not proud of it, I feel compelled to share, in case someone else out there is in the same boat I found myself in. While I read my Bible quite a bit, and read a lot of books about the Bible, I discovered I don't study it as much as I used to, or as much as I ought to. Sad, isn't it?
So, rather than shrug my shoulders and mosey on my way, I chose to take action. And what compounds the sadness is the fact that I've been sent some marvelous Bible studies, like this one from New Hope Publishing--and it's been sitting on my shelf while I've been plowing away at book reviews. No more!
"If God Is In Control, Why Am I A Basket Case?" is an excellent study in the Book of Colossians. Debbie Taylor Williams has a knack for creating fun and interactive Bible studies that even the newest believer can dive into and find some nuggets to gnaw on.
She opens with some historical facts about the book, then leads us to dive in headfirst. Each five day study begins with a fictional Mary, anticipating the letter from Paul the apostle.
Each day is short, but packed with truth that we can then apply to our lives through her 'basket case' or 'extraordinary life' exercise at the end of each daily assignment.
This is perfect for personal study, or in a group. Each lesson takes around 20 minutes to complete, and is easy to follow and the questions are easy to respond to. I'm in the first week, and I'm loving it.
I'm giving Debbie's study on Colossians five out of five bookmarks, with a highlighter and a pen as charms. My thanks to Debbie for sending me my own copy.
Happy Reading!
