This study (Reflections of Eve) written by Shanda Fulbright truly saved me. It came into my life when I needed it the most and gave me hope again. Shanda captured what our purpose is, how much God loves us and how to be God-fearing women. Personally, I have learned so much and feel so empowered. I am beyond grateful for this study and for Shanda.

I have been a member in the Life Group Shanda leads for a year. Before joining, I was a believer that was simply going through the motions but desiring a more meaningful relationship with Christ. Through my time in the group, I have gained so much. One takeaway has been the impact of spending time building a relationship with God on a daily basis through prayer and reading of the Word. Another major takeaway is that I used to consider my faith to be much more private and individual. Through regular fellowship with others, I have been able to experience the truth that faith was never meant to be done alone, it has always been meant to be a community of believers serving the Lord together. Shanda has such a heart for the Lord and others. She shares her knowledge with conviction and grace. Witnessing her love for the Lord has inspired me to learn more and share with others.

I have had the privilege of being under Shanda’s teaching for a year now.  I thought I was just joining a bible study but instead, I’ve gained so much more.  Shanda has a good-humored nature about her, she is down to earth about life’s struggles and is encouraging to those around her.  She mentors others without even trying.  She has such a great way at seeing people for who they are and appreciating their unique qualities and offering encouraging words to them individually. She mentors our group of Christian women in such a way that I personally have grown to feel accountable to them in my personal walk with God.  Shanda uses great factual and theoretical biblical references that are applicable and she always encourages us to know the bible for ourselves, not to just take her word for it. I’m always amazed at her level of commitment to our group, she comes prepared, having pre-studied our material and leads our group discussions with such passion.  One thing I love is she challenges us to participate in group prayer.  I have grown so much over the past year and I’m so thankful that I get to do life with my sister-in-Christ, Shanda.
