This was an incredible read. Is Jesus worth it? Yes, He is worth it. When you feel like quitting that your faith flourishes. I am glad to finally read this book. God is always there for us when we need it the most. All we have to do is worship and thank the Lord for all that he does. I learned a lot about faith in this book. I hope to build on my faith as a Christian and a relationship with God. I know that I am able to believe even when my circumstances feel overwhelming. I do not need to be afraid because I know that God is for me, and ready to help me whenever I need it. I can’t wait to read more books by Stacey Thacker. Overall, an amazing read.

This book is a deep dive into the book of Hebrews. Christian books vary on the amount of scripture they include; some refer to a verse in passing but mostly tell their own story. This is not one of those books; the author includes her story, but there is a lot of digging into Scripture. For those female readers who are seeking that, this book would meet that need. Stacey even recommends at the beginning that readers have their Bible with them to refer to as they read. For those who prefer more of the Scripture sprinkled in approach, there are other authors that would be a better fit for them. Stacey invites the reader in as if you're girlfriends, but it is a deep spiritual conversation, not a light hearted chat, but with a lot of belief behind it that yes. Jesus is worth it.

A book that influences you to dig deeper in the bible with personal stories that show how we can go through life using scriptures as a guide.

Is Jesus Worth It? by Stacey Thacker is a great book on living life in hard times rooted in the book of Hebrews.

Written for women, Thacker writes with familiarity to the reader, giving the reader the sense of friendship, as she shares personal stories of hitting her rock bottom, dog tired, and yet able to grab hold of the truth that even when life is hard, Jesus is there and worth the risk of trusting in Him.

I found this to be an easy read, and it led me to want to dig my Bible out for further study.

I also appreciated the extra notes and study guide in the back of the book, which makes it great for additional personal study, as well as group study.


This is from a series of books called The Girlfriends' Guide To The Bible.

Is JESUS Worth It? It is very interesting book. The author talks about what made you Decide to take on this subject and this book. She then goes on to tell us that everyone questions that question about 98%of each and everyone of us do not ask that question and that 2% of us ask that specific question. I have to do for free with that. I do not ever question if Jesus is worth it - 100% of me has no doubt. Other than that she concentrates on Hebrews because they question the same thing. She did a good job if you were questioning that question.

“When life is hard, your heart might ask, "Is Jesus worth it?"
Come hear the responding yes ringing through every verse of Hebrews.”

Everyone feels like quitting, at some point or another.
Add in the daily world events... it becomes hard to determine where to turn.
This sweet book reminds us whose we are and where we can turn.

Delving into the book of Hebrews with Stacey Thacker was like spending time with a friend.
The writing was understandable and not over my head!
Scripture references filled the pages, along with real life comparisons and personal stories.
There were so many nuggets of wisdom and reminders of just how much God loves us.

There is a Bible Study guide in back for going deeper into the Word.

I believe this book would be good for reading alone or as a group.
It's not one of those studies where you need to buy additional materials (videos, etc).

This book is part of “The Girlfriends' Guide to the Bible series” and I am looking forward
to reading those which follow.

I've already purchased a print copy of this gem (and highlighted so many key points).


I received this electronic book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for this opportunity!

In "Is Jesus Worth it?", Stacey Thacker goes through the book of Hebrews. With many examples from her personal experience, she illustrates the words form Hebrews and wants to encourage and excitewomen to study scripture and ignite their faith.

Overall, I liked this book and also really appreciated the study guide at the end of the book. However, there were a few things that hindered me from completely enjoying it. Her explanations of Scripture were very understandable and not too far-fetched, but some of the examples felt a little too trivial compared to the experiences of the people in the Bible. For example, "Hold onto Jesus like my kids hold onto my hand in the shopping mall so they don't get lost", in my opinion, is an unfortunate comparison that does not communicate the importance of holding onto faith.

Her style also was a little too much for me. She always calls the reader "sweet girlfriend" and often assumes that the reader shares her interests and values as well as repeatedly saying things like "since we are now girlfriends". She assumes a familiarity that simply wasn't there for me. I would have liked it better if the author hadn't come so uncomfortably close. But this is only my personal opinion. If you're okay with the style, you might really like it.

So I would recommend this book if you don't mind that the style is very personal. If you can, I would definitely recommend reading an excerpt before buying it.

Absolutely fell in love with this book because the author has such love for Jesus and Scripture. Will be recommending it and reread
