"Legion" is a Bible Study by Shadia Hrichi. It is divided into six weeks, each having five days of personal study. Each day includes one or more questions suitable for group discussion. There are also Pause to Ponder sections, along with extra questions if you want to dig deeper. The author makes this a real personal study in the sections titled "Your Turn" There are also Supplemental readings that are enjoyable and informative.

This study focuses on Mark's account of the healing of the demoniac man that is called Legion. But the study starts out with Adam's and Eve bringing sin.

I will be studying this study more in depth in the future.

The quotes that are on the sides of the pages are worth pondering and thinking about. Here are a few examples, "Imagine all the people who found rest because Jesus was willing to break the Sabbath!" and "The real battle is in the mind, because it our thoughts that determine our actions".

I received a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

I really recommend Shadia Hrichis Bible studies of both Hagar and Legion. I am really glad that she uses people that we have all heard about from the Bible, but we don't really hear much about and that she uses these people to help us understand that God loves us and that He is really for us.

More from Shadia

If there is one universal truth, it is that every human heart longs for paradise. A perfect world without death, pain, or sorrow. A world at peace, where each of us is secure, treasured, and loved. But the reality is that the world as we know it will never deliver; it cannot. Scripture tells us that “the whole world lies in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5:19).

As a result, you and I live in a broken world. A world that has been drifting off course ever since that slippery serpent enticed our first parents to reject God’s authority in that garden paradise so long ago. In that moment, they unwittingly handed over dominion of the earth to Satan on a silver platter. But this then begs the question. Why was God willing to risk rebellion in the Garden? And why would God allow His perfect creation to fall victim to the enemy’s schemes? And if God is good, why does He allow evil to exist?

Through this six-week study, you and I will explore the answers to these questions and more as we step into the fascinating story of the man known only by the name of the demons that tormented him. To be honest, I don’t know why I am attracted to the hard stories in the Bible. The messy stories. I suspect it stems, in part, from my own broken past. I can relate much easier to the broken people. The ones who experienced times when they felt unseen, or unloved, or unwanted. At the same time, their stories captivate my heart because when God reveals what He is doing behind the seen, His power and glory are displayed in ways that make my spirit soar!

So I invite you to come with me as we climb into the boat with Jesus and head into enemy territory. We will witness Jesus’s power and passion as He battles violent storms and armies of demons in order to rescue . . . one . . . lost . . . soul. Tormented, chained, and living in a graveyard, the man had no one to help him. No one to intercede for him. No one but Jesus. As a result:

A demoniac becomes a disciple.
A house of demons becomes a dwelling for the Living God.
The chained becomes a champion of good news.

You and I live in a world crying out for rescue. And just as Jesus was willing to cross the sea and rescue one man from the enemy’s chains, He crossed the heavens to rescue you and me from a fate even worse: eternal chains. But praise God that through His sacrifice for sin, Jesus conquered all the forces of evil and opened up the gates of paradise to all who embrace His mercy. So come with me. Let’s rediscover the God Who Rescues Me!

“For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son.” —Colossians 1:13 NASB
