“5 stars. Hands down one of the best studies I've done over the last several years! The applicability of Amen. is unmatched. I will regularly apply what I've learned for years to come. Amen. strikes this beautiful balance of real, honest, non-judgmental chats with a best friend, coupled with an incredible amount of knowledge and historical context. If you're looking for a study that explains why you should care about prayer and teaches you a framework for how to do it well, Amen. is for you!”
“While doing Amen., I learned more about prayer and the Old Testament in six weeks than I had in 30 years. I never thought something so educational could be so engaging. I found myself so captivated and invested in the material that I was re-reading sections or reading ahead. I just couldn't get enough! Amen. is transformative — my relationship with God and my prayer routine has noticeably improved. I would've liked to have had Amen. 20 years ago, but I'm sure glad I have it now.”
“Amen. takes the intimidation out of prayer. My prayer life has been electrified after completing this study — I have never felt so intimately connected with Jesus! If prayer is a discipline you are looking to sharpen, then run (don’t walk!) to start Amen. today!“
“Amen. is an amazing study on prayer in the Old Testament! You get to dig into the prayers of David, Daniel, and other Biblical figures to see how they talked to God and what happened as a result. Not only do you gain knowledge and comfort-level in understanding prayer, but you meet God at the heart-level in new ways. The study was extremely well-written and researched. It was a pleasure to read and discuss. Amen. is your launching pad to a powerful prayer life!”
"Amen. was my first ever Bible study and let’s just say it won’t be my last! I did not grow up with religion in my family, so doing a 'Bible study' was something completely new to me (not to mention, usually anything that contains the word 'study' is an automatic 'pass' for me). However, I am so happy I pushed myself and did Amen., because it was the most engaging, interesting and FUN six weeks I could’ve hoped for — I learned so much about prayer and the Old Testament! If you take away one thing from this review, have it be this: Amen. is not just for people who have an already-developed relationship with God. It is for ANYONE who has even the slightest curiosity about prayer and the Bible!"
"This study is absolutely worth your time. Amen. will challenge and expand upon whatever you know (or think you know) about prayer. As someone who grew up in the church I honestly didn’t think I had much to learn here, but most of the content was either new to me or approached from an entirely new angle. Not only is the amount of time put into this very evident, but Brittany does an excellent job of referencing scripture to showcase what our prayer lives should look like and why. Amen. should be at the top of your to-do list!"
"I have participated in several studies on prayer over the years, as well as having read many books on the subject. Heading into Amen. I was not expecting anything new, just an opportunity to revisit some familiar prayer territory. Instead, I was delightfully surprised to find a fresh new look into that territory with scriptural and historical depth I had not previously experienced in a study on prayer. Through it all, Brittany never loses sight of the primary focus of the study – to build and grow an authentic ongoing relationship with God. The study is structured in such a way to give participants ample opportunity to pray, journal and open themselves to God's presence in their lives as they work their way through the daily assignments. Some days, the assignments felt like they had been personalized for me, leading to honest and powerful times with God. No matter where you are in your prayer journey, I highly recommend Amen."
“I looked forward to diving into the content of Amen. every single day! The lectures were jam packed with great setups for the upcoming week of homework, and I learned so much about the biblical timeline, world history, and multiple types of prayer. After completing Amen., I feel closer to the Lord, and more confident in my ability to pray – in writing, in my head, and aloud. I would absolutely recommend Amen. to anyone who is interested in learning more about prayer and how to include prayer in your walk with God!”
“If you are looking to build your relationship with God in a true, meaningful way, without judgment – this is for you! Whether you have taken a million Bible studies or none at all, Brittany does an amazing job at relating to every person on the other side of the pages. Her authenticity with God's words keeps you wanting more… If you have no idea how to pray or why we pray or even the history of prayer, this is your chance. You will be amazed by the way God comes to life during this study. I will cherish and flip back to Amen. often!”
“What I loved most about Amen. is Brittany's writer's voice. I have never met her before, but I feel like she is my best friend, and like she truly cares about my walk with Christ. Each week she brilliantly guided us through a passage of scripture to help us understand the type of prayer we were focusing on that week. Whether you don't know anything about prayer, or if you are an expert, this study is for every Christian! Brittany will take your hand, walk beside you, and challenge you to explore how you can have a more personal prayer life with God.”
“Amen. has helped shape the way I pray daily, and has cleared up so many unknowns I previously had about the Bible! It has given me the push I needed to study Scripture, get out of my comfort zone, face God, and develop a stronger relationship with Him. The videos and written content were so inspirational, motivating and just overall made me want to keep learning more about the Bible, even after Amen. This study was the jumpstart I needed in my faith!”
"I have had an active prayer life for decades, so going into Amen., I didn't know what I’d really learn about prayer. However, Amen. has inspired and shaped my practice of prayer, even after all these years! Amen. helped me understand the nature of prayer better by breaking prayer down categorically. The study also helped me understand and appreciate the Old Testament more through examples that I was familiar with, but never had taken the time to dig into. The way that Amen. is presented makes learning enjoyable, and presents an opportunity to put each piece of learning into practice. God’s Word through Brittany’s voice is vibrant – in both the lectures and on the page, there is an energy that’s infectious! "
"I grew up going to church, but never connected to anything that was taught. I didn't listen to the sermons, skipped Sunday school, and rolled my eyes at my mom's Biblical references. Over three decades later I found myself with burning questions about prayer. Does it work? How do you know? What is it exactly? How do you do it? I opened my laptop and searched for Bible studies nearby and landed on a study called Amen. Was it luck? Was it God? What I do know is that it was brilliant. Amen. walked through prayer, in all of its aspects, so that a novice like me could understand. It quenched my thirst for serious dialogue, while still being accessible. If that were not enough, the incredibly knowledgeable author offers interesting historical context, detailed Biblical references and lighthearted humor. Amen. is for anyone. Amen. is for everyone."
"Amen. is an inspirational page turner that takes you on a journey through the Old Testament – you get to know the people, cultural context, and circumstances that stirred up some of the most heart-felt prayers that have been recorded in the Bible. The lectures are an added bonus! They are informative and entertaining and allow you to enjoy even more of the author’s authenticity, wit, and knowledge. I would highly recommend this study to anyone!"
"Amen. is a beautiful exploration of different types of prayers throughout the Old Testament. This study does an incredible job of tying the whole story of the Old Testament together, while still pointing everything back to Jesus. I've found it difficult to find relatable, understandable ways to learn about the history in the Bible, but Amen. is able to do just that in such an engaging and enticing way. I would definitely recommend this study to anyone who is willing to put in the work to grow in their prayer life while learning about the bigger picture of the story of the Bible."
"I found Amen. to be a very enlightening study on prayer. Every week explored a different category of prayer, such as confession or lament. I also received a history lesson and deeper understanding of the timeline of the Old Testament – this was a true bonus! Amen. helped me define my prayer life and challenged me to be a better learner; it is evident that God has truly blessed Brittany as a teacher."
"Brittany's research of the Old Testament brings even deeper meaning to the New Testament, and helps make the connection that biblical history is part of world history! The teaching and structure of Amen. has nurtured a rhythm of connecting with God and others in my life. This is where God does his best work!"
