1,000 Hours Taught Lysa TerKeurst to Stop Living Hurt — This Study Does It in 10 Minutes a Day

By Lauren B.

I didn't have 1,000 hours — just a hurt I'd been smiling through for years. So I kept digging until I found a study that does the same work in 10 minutes a day.

You can't hand a hurt to a God you don't really know. That's the thing nobody says out loud. This study is what finally changes that. In minutes a day. Without a theologian. Without starting over in January.

1. It explains what the Bible actually says about forgiveness — before you read it.

Each week opens with a short explanation: who wrote it, when, why, and what God was showing His people in that moment. So when you reach the passages about forgiveness, the ones you have read a dozen times and still couldn't feel, you finally understand them. Not as commands you keep failing. As a story you are part of.

That is what a thousand hours with a theologian does. This study does the same thing in minutes a week.

2. It shows you who God actually is, not just what He said.

The reason forgiveness never reached your heart isn't that you weren't trying hard enough. It's that it's hard to trust someone you don't really know. Every week connects what you are reading back to God's character — who He is, how He showed up for hurting people from the very first page, and how deeply He loves the woman reading it right now.

You can't hand a hurt to a stranger. This study introduces you to someone who has been waiting a long time to carry it for you.

3. It's built to actually be finished.

52 weekly themes instead of 365 dated boxes. Completely undated, so one hard week never ends your whole year. You just open it and keep going, until you have done the thing you have been meaning to do for years: read the entire Bible, Genesis to Revelation.

You have been starting over in January for long enough. This is the one you finish.

4. It meets you every morning, right where the hurt is.

Each week pairs Scripture with prayer prompts and reflection questions that bring what you just read into the specific weight you are carrying that day. Not a checklist. A conversation. A few quiet minutes where the God you are finally getting to know gets to speak directly into the thing that brought you here.

Hurt needs a daily companion, not a one-time read. This is that companion.

5. It's beautiful enough to keep open where you'll see it.

Full-color artwork, designed to be left open on the table rather than hidden in a drawer. The kind of book your family sees every day.

The way you always pictured being the woman whose grandchildren remember her Bible open. Not living hurt. At peace. Rooted. Finally free.

Reader Testimonials

5/5 rating

"My husband left me after 27 years for someone half his age. I forgave him in my head about a thousand times and it never once reached my heart. I started this study not expecting much, honestly I almost didn't order it. By week 9 I was writing things in the journal I had never said out loud to anyone. Something shifted and I can't fully explain it. I just know I'm not carrying it the same way I used to."

"I carried what happened to me in childhood for over 40 years. I was saved, I loved the Lord, I served in my church every single week and I still couldn't let it go. I didn't even fully understand why until I started actually understanding what I was reading in Scripture. This study gave me that. I'm not the same woman who opened it in January and I mean that."

5/5 rating

"I didn't realize how much I was living hurt until I started to feel different. Week by week something just started to loosen. I've been a Christian for 30 years and nobody ever explained the Bible to me the way this study does. I finally feel like I actually know the God I've been praying to my whole life. That's what changed everything for me. Not a technique. Just finally knowing Him."

The Bible In A Year: 52-Week Study is a 224-page guided journey designed for women who want to finally read through the entire Bible. Each of the 52 weekly chapters focuses on a specific Biblical theme.

Inside every chapter you'll find daily Scripture prompts, beautiful full-color artwork, and dedicated journaling space for reflection.

Will I finally understand what I'm reading?

Yes. The Bible In A Year: 52-Week Study was designed to bring clarity, not confusion. Each week begins with a synopsis that gives you context and meaning for what you're about to read.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a "Bible expert" to use this?

Not at all. This study was made for everyday women — including those who have never finished the Bible before, those who have tried and given up, and those who have always felt intimidated by Scripture. The weekly structure walks you through gently, with context and prayer prompts, so you're never left wondering what something means or why it matters.

What if I miss a week or fall behind?

That's completely okay. This is a guided study, not a deadline. Many women take more than 52 weeks to finish, and many revisit chapters in different seasons of life. The book is designed to be returned to again and again. There is no pressure and no shame — only a Bible study that meets you where you are.

Is this a good gift?

Absolutely. The full-color pages, spiral-bound layflat design, and reflection space make this one of the most-gifted Bible studies we offer. Many women buy one for themselves and several more for daughters, sisters, friends from church, and granddaughters heading off to college. It arrives ready to give.

What is the 60-day guarantee?

Every order is backed by our 60-day money-back guarantee. Try the study, live with it, and feel the changes for yourself. If it isn't everything you hoped for, send it back for a full refund. No questions asked.
