Book Review: Who Do You Say that I AM?: A Fresh Encounter for Deeper Faith

Do you know Jesus as He really is? 

We can speak in abstracts all day long. We can ponder who Jesus is and what it means to follow Him. But he wants our confession. He wants to know, “Who do you say that I AM?”

How we answer defines our lives both now and forever. This study in the “I AM” statements of Jesus will help women move from knowing about Him to knowing Him personally. Guiding them through significant questions Jesus asks in the Gospels—and the answers He himself provides—it will help readers:


Realize the truth of who Jesus really is
Grow in their ability to trust God and rely on Him fully
Find the calm and peace promised in Scripture despite life circumstances
Becky Harling has years of experience as a Bible teacher and women’s ministry leader. She empathizes with women and knows how to make Scripture come alive. Who Do You Say that I AM? will draw women deep into the Word for a true encounter with Christ, helping them become more confident, calm, and courageous in the faith.

                                                                        MY THOUGHTS ON THE BOOK                                                              

If you are interested in a deeper study of Jesus than this is the perfect book for you.

This book is a bible study workbook. There are so many wonderful scriptures and so many meaningful questions that help you dig deeper into Gods word. My favorite part was Jesus’ “ I Am” statement. This is an 8 weeks study so each day is structured with a devotional and explanation of the scripture and then a section with reflection questions. There is also a praise section and a memorization prompt.

I enjoyed Becky Harling’s style of writing and the study she put together. I connected with her story of child abuse and her insecurities. The focus of this book is to know Jesus better.

I enjoyed this deep method of study. I also enjoyed Becky Harling's honesty and vulnerability in her stories. She talks about how God strengthened her faith after childhood abuse and helped her deal with insecurities and ministry challenges. Even though this is primarily a Bible study, I felt like I got to know her. The primary focus of this book is knowing Jesus better, and she helps us do that through this study.
