This book did not load on my kindle, and I had no other means to read it. I have read her other studies like this one on Philippians and Galatians and they are both fantastic, so no doubt Colossians is as well. Also, I have read many other books by Joyce and highly recommend them all. You can't go wrong picking up any Joyce Meyer book :)

Another winner for Joyce Meyers. The way she can write in such a way that makes it so easy to follow her study guide. It wraps you in warmth. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the arc of this book. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on this review.

This is a great resource we all need. I love Joyce Meyer and love all her resources. Highly recommend for all.

A solid, personal, individual Bible study with plenty of space and room to reflect on the Word. Meyer is a straight talker and does not beat around the bush.

Not a bad book, but not as in-depth or informative as I was hoping it would be. Would serve well as a quick devotional.

This is another fantastic guide to A book of the Bible. Just like her book on James this study is a step by step review of Colossians. I found this very helpful and informative. This is a great add to enrich your study of Colossians.

Thank you to Netgalley for complimentary copy..

Colossians: A Biblical Study by Joyce Meyer

2 stars

This is a Bible Study about the book of Colossians. I don’t have much to say about this Bible study because it was pretty subpar. It was your typical American Christian Bible Study and it started out offering context at the very beginning (which I was so excited about) and then it became more about how you can do all these things to be a better Christian by doing __ and __. It’s just not what I was looking for. I want more from Bible studies. I want Biblical and historical context; I want theological studies and deep questions. I wouldn’t even do this study in a Bible study because it doesn’t ask any in-depth questions. This study lacks the theological depth that I am looking for. My best friend also read the Galatians study Meyer’s did and she had a lot of the same issues that I did with the Colossians one. I think this would interest people who are avid fans of Meyer’s teaching or who lack a history in theological reading and read the Bible more for personal application (which is dangerous, but I recognize many do this because they lack resources in churches and among friends to have good discipleship programs). I’m not trying to sound so negative, but I guess I’m just weary about recommending this study. I think if you feel the leading of the Holy Spirit to read it, then He must be trying to tell you something or leading you to a particular Scripture or thought, but besides that you can pass on this one and find better theological commentators.

Thank you, Netgalley and FaithWords, for providing me with a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

I rarely engage in Joyce Meyer Bible studies, however I found this to be really engaging. It was balanced and truthful. Joyce pointed to Jesus in ways that were stretching and illuminating. Her voice came through as bold, authentic and humble.

I would encourage anyone wanting to dive deeper into the Word of God to try this study!

The publisher made a copy of this book available via Netgalley. This is my honest review.

Apostle Paul wrote a letter to Colossians that spoke about learning to act like God. If they read the letters, they would understand the things they needed to do to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Joyce Meyer wrote about the Colossians, and she breaks down each piece step-by-step. She teaches how to understand the Colossians, and how it applies to us individually and in our every day lives. If we follow the steps, then we will have right thoughts and have right actions. This is an excellent teaching/learning tool that outlines what Christian looks like, and how they should act. It delves deeper into a part of the bible. It's very easy to follow, and has guidelines that will help us understand Colossians better. This is a great book for beginners, and people that want a closer relationship with God.

I have always enjoyed Joyce Meyer's straightforward approach. In typical Joyce fashion this study has the common theme throughout to put God first and be who He created you to be with all the tools He's given you. Why settle for anything less?

This study of Colossians is a good & general intro to the general themes and purpose of the letter. I was expecting more of an in-depth study (Examining the greek, verse-by-verse, etc.) But it simply isn't that. It is however very easy to read and could easily be read as a daily devotional. So I did really enjoy it once I was able to put it into a different context. This could also easily be read in book clubs/small groups and the topics in the study and Colossians could be discussed in greater depth in a group setting.

I was given an ARC of this book through Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

Wonderful study tool to assist the reader in the study of the bible book Colossians .
Colosssians is a small book in the New Testament authored by the Apostle Paul . Joyce Meyers provides her excellent insights and commentary on this book. A valuable asset for anyone studying the word of God.!

In Colossians: A Biblical Study by Joyce Meyer, we take a deep dive into the book of Colossians, an epistle the apostle Paul wrote, while imprisoned in Rome to the believers who lived in Colossae. Who am I in Christ? How do I live in righteousness? What does dead to sin really mean? If these are some of the questions you’ve been asking yourself, you will find the answers in Colossians. Joyce Meyer helps shed light on not only the words of God but on how to readily walk them out in our daily lives, with her practical NO nonsense advice that we can all relate to and understand.

I was given an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) of this book by Faithwords through Netgalley to read and to give an honest review.

I must give Colossians a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Here’s why I believe this is an exceptional book for the soul. The way this book is written and structured is phenomenal! I loved the fact that Joyce used multiple versions of the Bible to teach from. She also included other verses similar to a Colossians verse and showed where to find these verses in the Bible. I found that extremely helpful. I spent quite a bit of time reading each section and tried to absorb everything. It’s not a book I recommend you rush through. I was so encouraged to grow in my personal relationship and walk with the Lord while reading this book. Colossians is a book I will be reading continually throughout my lifetime.

What I liked most, that I haven’t mentioned above, was the Personal Reflection pages at the end of every section, where Joyce asks questions and provides a place for you to write your own answers in, so that you may reflect on them later. A physical copy would make this tool easier to use in my opinion. What I disliked most, was NOT A THING! It is truly brilliant on every level and such a blessing! Joyce Meyer is one of my favorite authors. I love this book so much!

Whether you have just begun your walk with Jesus, have been walking for years, or do not know Jesus yet, I highly recommend this book, for everyone young and old.

Colossians by Joyce Meyer is perfect for anyone who wants to study Colossians. Whether the reader is new to the book or has read and studied it several times like I have, the reader will get so much out of it.

I enjoyed that Meyer’s book starts off with an introduction about the book of Colossians to give some background knowledge. I find it helps develop a better understanding of what the reader is about to dive into. It helps the reader unpack more throughout the book.

This book also has some majour highlights that if you wanted to just read a sentence or two you could get the highlight for the day, or there is plenty that Meyer’s unpacks verse by verse. It really allows your mind to be still and focus on a little piece of truth for the day.

Lastly, the book features a little section to write down your thoughts along with a question to get you started.

I have written devotionals for Colossians, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is one I will return to time and time again. And like the book of Colossians, I am sure I will learn something new every time.

My only comment is that I wish this came in a paperback edition. I really do not enjoy hard back books for Bible Study. I know this is a personal preference and in no way influences my rating of the overall book.

I received an electronic Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Faith Words through NetGalley. All opinions are 100% my own.

Well I started out flabbergasted. In this study, Joyce is using the NIV as her base Bible translation throughout. I’m not even sure of who this version of Joyce is....or if the publishers asked her to do it. At the core of everything I’ve known about her is her use of the Amplified Bible translation. My gosh, she has even published an edition in her own name. So I’m utterly shocked for her to not use it as the main translation, and it took me a minute to collect myself and continue the study.

It’s a very good study. In fact, it’s my favorite that she has put out so far. Colossians has only 4 chapters so it allows her to dive in way deeper, not only into Colossians but also into the epistles that speak on the same topics. Her depth is truly shown in the study far more than the others. And she does quite from the Amplified quite often (although I still don’t understand why she didn’t just use it all together).

I read more than one section at a time, but I do see how valuable it would be as a devotional, reading one section each day.

Joyce Meyer is thoughtful and inspiring. I recommend this look at an epistle that is sometimes complicated. Joyce writes with understanding and wisdom.

I read this as a devotional and I loved my time learning about Colossians! Joyce Meyer breaks it down in a practical, easy to understand manner. It’s uplifting and educational. I loved the in-depth educational piece but also the personal reflection aspect. Most devotionals are more surface level so I appreciated the educational aspect. Reading this as a devotional allowed me to dig deeper and I loved that, but it was also motivating. My thanks to the publisher for the advance reader in exchange for my honest review.

I love Joyce Meyers but for some reason I couldn’t get in to her writing style this time around. It was written like a self help book that was going over scripture. I couldn’t really follow the layout.

"Colossians" is a Bible commentary on Colossians that can be used for personal Bible study or even as a devotional. The author provided the Bible verses in the book (often using an amplified version). She covered several verses at a time and worked her way through Colossians. She talked about each group of verses and brought out insights to improve our understanding. She stayed focused on the verses rather than telling funny stories, but it wasn't highly academic or difficult to follow. It's written at a layman's level and contained short enough sections that it could be used for daily devotional reading. She included questions for personal reflection along with space to write in your answer. Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to better understand Colossians.

Colossians is my favorite book in the Bible. It contains my life verse. It has so much good teaching in it and Meyer does a good job of helping us comprehend all that's there. This book is a good introduction to the epistle and is very readable. It is not really a verse by verse exposition but rather emphasizes thoughts, sometimes one verse, some times an entire paragraph of Scripture. There is no exploration of the Greek.

In classic Meyer style, she emphasizes the lordship of Jesus, the dangers of Gnosticism, the importance of putting God first, how to live as a Christian in this world, who we are in Christ, the importance of our thoughts, and much more. My favorite section was the one on being “in Christ.” She even notes there is more information on this topic on her website.

Meyer reminds readers that God wants us to thrive in life. (John 10:10) That requires living by God's Word. We need to study the Bible and dig deep into its truth so it will transform us. This is a good book to lay a foundation for that deeper study.

This study on Colossians is divided into short chapters and would make a good daily devotional kind of reading. Meyer has added reflective questions from time to time but the style is not that of a workbook. I recommend it to lay people looking for a good devotional reading on Colossians.

I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review.

First and foremost, a huge thank you to NetGalley, FaithWords, and Joyce Meyer for providing me with a copy of this publication, which allows me to provide you with an unbiased review.

I enjoyed this Bible Study. It was easy to follow and enjoyable. I will be looking into other studies by Joyce Meyer.
