God Our Home by Katie Noble

This book strengthened my faith in more ways I could have ever imagined. I am so blessed to have read this and had a community of women to read alongside with. The deep levels of thought provoking questions really pushed me out of my comfort zone and to expand my knowledge on the Bible and I am forever grateful for that! I would highly recommend this book! Beautifully written and thoughtfully created!

absolutely love this bible study! it is so helpful in guiding you and is not cheesy at all! it takes you deep while also being restriction free and encourages you to keep opening it! i have found freedom and joy and peace in the way this bible study has guided me to relationship with the holy spirit and learning about Jesus. It goes through the book of john, but also takes you deeper by explaining and referencing old testament scriptures. it is absolutely incredible, and it is soooo cute which is definitely a plus when carrying it around with you! i love it and have already recommended it to my friends and family. love love love

Such a beautiful and well made book!

This Bible study was the best study I’ve done in my 30 years of Christianity. I don’t say that lightly. Katie Noble’s ability to speak to the heart, while remaining biblical, and keeping things simple really impacted my experience with God’s Word. I have read many Bible scholars studies and never walked away from one as satisfied as I did with this one; I felt closer to God and had a deeper understanding of His Words in my favorite book, John. Those who reviewed and couldn’t get past Lectio Divine greatly confuse me and I’m sad they didn’t get to experience this awesome study. I have been scouring the internet for more of Katie’s studies and couldn’t find any. So, if you’re reading these Katie: WRITE MORE STUDIES! You have a gift.

Receiving a Bible Study from Hosanna Revival just always gets me excited. I know that real spiritual growth is sure to follow my journey through their Bible Studies. Thank you.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

I absolutely love this book. Love the texture of the cover how it makes me think draws me closer to God and I love the title.

I saw a couple of negative comments about how this uses Lectio. I’m confused at why this would be a problem and unbiblical. I know this is taught in Catholic schools but it is only a way to study scripture and encourages you to pray that God reveals what he wants you to know about the scripture and how you can apply it in your life. It’s very helpful. It’s not too far from using the SOAP method that I see everywhere. Don’t let negative reviews saying it is unbiblical scare you from getting this.

I just finished a group Bible study using God Our Home and I was blown away by this book. I’ve never deeply read any of the gospels and this book made it super easy to dive into the gospel of John. I loved how Katie made so many connections to other books in the Bible and referenced both Old and New Testament works. I would recommend this Bible study all day long.

Just finished up this study with a group of amazing women! This was my first ever Bible Study, and I think the book of John is the perfect first study to go through. My favorite part about this study was all the connections to the Old Testament and really seeing how the whole Bible comes together. Katie’s questions really make you stop and think, and dig deeper into the meaning of the story. I would recommend this study to anyone who is just starting out their faith to learn the love of Jesus, or someone who has read these stories 1,000 times gain a deeper understanding!

Grateful that this study has allowed my faith to grow, and given me a community of God loving women! ❤️

Just finished a Bible study with this study. My life is forever changed. This study was my first Bible Study and I’m so glad it was with Katie. We were able to ask questions and receive guidance on the study and the study is so well written and explained. My relationship with god is forever changed.

Loved using this book in our group Bible Study! I was starting new and didn’t know much about the book of John but Katie went into such great detail and the questions created good conversations. Would definitely recommend!

My bible study group just spent the last year reading the Gospel of John and completing this devotional - and I think for the rest of my life, I'll remember how much of an impact this year has had on my spiritual growth. The familiar stories of John, that I had read (some, several times) before, have much deeper meaning and root in my heart now!

As a leader of this group, I highly recommend completing this study SLOWLY (and intentionally), alongside a community. Ours was made up of seasoned and brand new believers, and it allowed us to see how God welcomes all of us into his kingdom, and uses our unique stories and experiences to encourage us to learn from one another. Though I would consider the questions to be a bit beyond novice level, Katie does a great job of connecting the Gospel of John to the overarching narrative of the Bible, cross referencing many Old Testament scriptures; helping you understand the importance of, and how to study the historical context; and she invites you to pray and reflect often - all of which have equipped me to walk away with more confidence in biblical literacy, ready to apply these study skills to future texts and devotionals.

I spent the past year in the “God Our Home” devotional study, a journey through the book of John that transformed my heart. With each page, I grew in my understanding of Jesus’ life and teachings, discovering how His presence weaves through the fabric of our homes and daily lives. The reflections and discussion prompts opened doors to spiritual growth, but it was the bond of community with the women in our group that truly brought the words to life. This study, best done together, became a shared tapestry of insights and support, enriching our walk with God.

What touched me most was how the study brought the book of John to life—how it made Jesus’ message accessible and deeply personal. It strengthened my faith, grounding me in His love and truth. “God Our Home” is a journey I carry with me, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to those seeking to explore Scripture in the warmth of community.

Absolutely stunning and such a good study!

This gives a description of what this practice is https://www.anglicancommunion.org/media/253799/1-What-is-Lectio-Divina.pdf and on page four is shared a comment from a practitioner of it that perfectly states the issue "I find Lectio Divine occasionally inspiring and helpful but more often frustrating and annoying. The temptation to take words and ideas out of context, and not to pay deep attention to what the whole passage is saying, is just too powerful. We end up with shared meditations, sometimes valuable in themselves, but I don't feel that we are really sitting under the word". It is a practice trying to force an experience instead of sitting under the word.

Quality is great!! Can’t wait to start the study!

Absolutely love this study! Extremely well written and allowed for amazing conversation.

This devotion is beautiful and well written

This is the BEST Bible study. It dives deep into John in a beautiful way!

So powerful love it

Great quality and a Bible study I’m looking forward to diving into. It comes highly recommended by me!

Katie Noble is an excellent writer who knows how to communicate her ideas clearly. She offers sound and creative interpretations of biblical texts which will encourage readers. She also introduces historic, tested, and trustworthy spiritual practices that the Church has always done, like Lectio Divina. Sometimes ancient disciplines like this can get lost in our spiritual upbringing, or even ostracized when we're unfamiliar with them. But Katie walks readers through how to engage Lectio Divina well and connect with Jesus and Scripture in helpful ways.

I think this devotional meets you right where you are at. There is the freedom to take as much time as you need to work through the devotional because the author wants you to go slow so you can notice the patterns/specific work choices of the scriptures! I also love the focus on praying alongside studying the Word. I have been a Christian my whole life and this devotional has helped me understand the familiar stories within the book of John in a deeper and more meaningful way.

I am so thankful for this study! I had wanted to go through John & was so excited to see that Katie Noble was releasing one. As I have worked through it, I have been so encouraged by the depth, reflection, and space for contemplative prayer (which I find to be SO helpful and Biblical). Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to find their home in our good God!

In the first part of this book it has a suggestion to do lecto devina, which is a contemplative prayer style practice, and something that is wholly unbiblical. I haven't gotten past that part, and am giving two stars because it suggests doing this, but leaves room for people not to do it. I am also giving those stars because I feel it is too harsh, but want a potential buyer to be aware. I was planning to use this as a group study, so am greatly disappointed, however I could still use the copy I own for personal study and "chew the meat but spit out the bones", type, casting off areas where this practice is applied elsewhere. It is a great topic and I am sad to pass on it for a group, but can't continue with it.

I haven’t quite finished God our home yet, but it has been such a good devotional that really makes me take a deeper look at my faith with the reflection questions. I’m so glad that I bought this devotional.

Beautiful devotional!
