Living "So That": Making Faith-Filled Choices in the Midst of a Messy Life Description
In today’s world, it’s tough to make everyday decisions, let alone decisions that honor God. Our culture is increasingly driven by selfish desires. However, as Christians, our lives should not be self-centered and static; they should be others-centered and active, making a difference for the Kingdom of God.
Living "So That” is a fresh approach to understanding God's Word, focusing on many of the powerful "so that" verses in Scripture, including Jesus Came So That. . .; God Spoke So That. . .; Pray So That. . .; Trials Come So That. . . . Through her approachable style, personal examples, and biblical teaching, Wendy equips readers to take what they study in the Word of God and practically live it out in order to impact the world around them. The result is a renewed appreciation for the power and applicability of Scripture. Through practical examples and biblical truths, Wendy helps readers gain a new perspective on daily living, equipping them to apply these biblical truths to present-day decision-making.
Features include:
- “Going Deeper” sections encourage readers to dig further into the truths presented
- “Call to Action” sections challenge readers to take practical steps to apply what they have learned
- Helpful tips and tools for practicing active faith

The InScribed Collection is currently a collection of 4 studies (by women and for women). The 4 current books in the collection are: Leaving Ordinary by Donna Gaines, Living "So That" by Wendy Blight, Amazed and Confused by Heather Zempel, and Dive Deeper by Jenifer Jernigan.
Each of the books in this collection are just beautiful books (judging by the cover, here) - they each have a textured textured cover (almost like watercolor paper) and the pages have deckle edges (aka - uncut or featheredged). Both the front and back covers have attached flaps (not a book jacket or dust cover) - the front flaps have Proverbs 3:3 and a note from the author (in their handwriting) and the back flaps have information about the author (including a picture). This collection uses The Voice as the primary source for Scripture quotations. (This may be why there are unexplained italicized words in some of the quotations - I do not have The Voice so I do not know for sure.)
I started by reading Leaving Ordinary by Donna Gaines. I feel like this book would be easy to use as a devotional. Each chapter is between 6-15 pages and takes approximately 10-30 minutes to read. Each chapter ends with 'Questions to Consider' and has a space for writing notes. The book is divided into 3 parts. The subtitle Leaving Ordinary ("Encounter God through Extraordinary Prayer") may be a bit misleading as the topic of prayer is not really introduced until halfway though the book (in Chapter 10). I feel that this book addressed concepts that can/will be helpful in coming to God in prayer, but doesn't often directly address prayer. A better subtitle may have been something like "Encounter God through the Tabernacle".

inScribed ~ Living "So That": Making Faith-Filled Choices in the Midst of a Messy Life by Wendy Blight, ?2014
Join this journey together with a small group or individually as Living So That takes you through five chapters of "so that" Scriptures in the New Testament. Each chapter begins with a memory verse and a prayer. Your heart will be prepared to receive all that God has for you. Set aside special time each day and ask the Lord to help you keep it a priority.
There is space between the readings for you to write a response as you read. You can look up SO THAT verses in the Bible. A fun way to begin ~ making faith-filled choices! You might want to underline them [mine would be in awesome p-u-r-p-l-e] so you have a whole glance at so-thats!
Renewing our minds brings "life transformations." Life transformations prompts "so that" living.
God never gives up when He has a plan. Wendy tells of a neighbor down the street that she felt prompted to invite to her Bible study group, but didn't. Over a year's time she was cordial when their ~*paths crossed*~. One night Wendy gave her testimony at church. When she looked up, who did she see but the neighbor, with tears streaming down her face. Psalm 139! So thankful the Lord knows all about us and loves us so!
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. --John 3:16
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. --Hebrews 4:16
And the neighbor's whispered response? "I want what you have.
