When I first saw the title and read the description of Katy McCown’s new Bible study, She Smiles Without Fear, I knew I wanted to read it. I was also aware that many times products do not measure up to their hype. I am now in week 5 of this 5 week study, and am happy to report that this is not the case with this study, It is excellent and met my every expectation and beyond. Here are some of the things which I like about it:
The format - The study is set up for 5 day a week, developing a main idea for the week. This has helped me to really internalize and remember the weekly concept. Much of the study is narrative and is easy and enjoyable to read. There are also questions throughout each day’s lesson and scriptures to study. They are insightful and thought provoking but not difficult. You don’t need to be an academic to complete this study.
Biblically Based - This study is steeped in scripture and is Biblically sound. It lifts up the name and character of God and challenges us to respond based on that. I have grown in my faith and in my knowledge of God as a result of this book.
Practical - While this book is motivating and speaks to our internal thoughts and beliefs, it is also very practical. Each day there are tips on how to apply this concept and how to put “feet to our faith”.
Relatable - Katy’s writing makes you feel like you are reading a letter from a close friend. Additionally, videos are included (one per week) at no extra charge. Katy uses a lot of stories and analogies from her own life to illustrate her point. They are often humorous and always help to clarify her point.
The only downside I can find is that the type is small in the book which can be a challenge for some of us.
Overall, I highly recommend this life changing book. It would work well for a small group to do together but also works for an individual. I believe this book will have something to say to any reader. Even if you don’t feel that fear is an issue in your life, we all deal with facing the uncertainties of the future in one way or another.

Not just another Prov. 31 study! A Must Read!
Not just another Proverbs 31 Bible Study! This speaks to women right where they are and speaks to the fear that comes along with our normal everyday routines.This beautifully written bible study is derived straight out of scripture. The author is not only knowledgeable in her studies but seems to write it in a way that easily relates. The font choice for the emphasized text is hard to read, and you have to constantly flip back to the front to access the link for the videos (on Page 20), but the videos are not something you want to skip!I started this bible study at a time where fear wasn't at the forefront of my mind, but I had a lot of fear. Being pregnant during the COVID pandemic and going through all of the unknowns that come along with that makes one fearful of what is to come in many different ways.I would HIGHLY recommend this study to anyone, whether your fear is at the forethought of your mind or if you are feeling carefree at the time, I would encourage you to fully dive into this study, do not skip the videos or writing prompts they really help with the understanding and solidify what the author is trying to teach the reader.

Katy McCown’s Bible study is a rare treasure!
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2021
I’m a bit of a Bible study junkie! In a good way! I’ve had the privilege of taking part in Katy McCown’s Bible study launch. First, I love Katy. She’s an integral part of First 5. Her teachings and audios are always superb. Why would her Bible study be any different? It’s not. It’s actually one of my favorite Bible studies of all time. Why? First, Katy is so funny and transparent. She shares great stories that really add to the Bible study. Second, she loves God so much (maybe that should have been first!). Her writing just reflects such a beautiful relationship with God, and it makes me feel closer to Him too. Third, this Bible study really gets to the nitty gritty of the Proverbs 31 woman. She gets a bad rap sometimes, but Katy does a fabulous job showing the average gal like me some sure fire steps to getting closer to God. Finally, I love her videos. This is a study you do not want to miss. I’d give it 10 stars if that were possible! Can’t wait for her next study!
