bible study women
Christians, would you go to a Bible Study that used this book?
Okay, I was invited to this women’s Bible Study that will be using this book:

It’s called “High Heels, High Places”. From what I understand, it’s about how loving shoes relates to growing spiritually.
I’m not sure I’m comfortable with the book.. I mean, being obsessed with shoes is really not so Christian. Most shoes are made in sweatshops, and buying lots of shoes is not being a good steward of God’s money. Also.. the shoes on the cover are not modest.
Also.. shouldn’t a Bible Study only use the BIBLE? I feel like other books might be appropriate for a small group of some sort.
I asked the group leader about this and she said that it was a last minute decision.
What do I do???
Without really knowing anything about the book the summary on that website you posted sounds OK.
“Whether you’re partial to heels or flats, you’ll adore this laugh-out-loud journey toward God. Using Colossians 1: 9-12, where Paul asks us to walk worthy of the Lord, Rhonda Rhea helps women take steps of faith and climb higher toward God. In her humorous style, she offers how-tos straight from the Word of God. So…what are you waiting for? Strap on those cute shoes and get those high heels in a higher place!”
It sounds like it is using the idea of walking/climbing as a platform to launch into a study on Colossians 1. These types of studies can be good or bad and sometimes it is hard to know which way it will go before you start the study.
There is nothing wrong with using other books in a Bible Study as long as it is done in conjunction with the Bible. Obviously the Bible is the most important part. This seems to be based on a passage in Colossians and you can certainly learn a lot by looking at things from another perspective. Also humour can be a good way of making points at a deep level without things getting too heavy.
Personally I would say give it a go or at least have a closer look at the book if possible. If you find that it is not focusing on the Bible at all or really is talking about having a love for shoes then stop going to the study.
BTW I hate shoes and really don’t get the whole shoe obsession thing.
