Hinged: Vitally Connected to Christ and His Church (Ephesians)

While the content was biblical, the daily lessons were very long -- so much scripture to look up. While that's not such a bad thing, many of the daily studies took me a couple hours to do, which was a lot of work on top of my other committed daily devotionals and Bible readings. Even the videos were very long to view for our weekly study. It was just hard to get everything done. At the group study our discussion time could not include all of our weekly study book questions but had to be be condensed in order to be done in 2 hours. This is just way too long for busy, working moms on a weeknight. Some of our participants stopped coming altogether, which may have been due to the crammed content. It's so hard to keep people committed, and it doesn't help when they feel discouraged when they can't get it all done. Paul didn't make his letter to the Ephesians easy for us to understand, and I had hoped Hinged would have been better but I ended up being somewhat disappointed as I went through this study.
