I AM: Transformed in Him: A Meditative Bible Study (All 12 Studies in One Volume)

by Diana Burg, Kim Tapfer

Overview

This study will simply nourish and strengthen you! It’s one I keep going back to and continue to glean from. Few books bring such clear peace and joy, hope, and love. Encased in a multitude of stories and Scripture verses, it speaks volumes of truth! As its meditative questions bid you to move toward personal revelation about who God is to you on a daily basis, the interaction is an amazing, deeply satisfying, one-of-a-kind experience!

– Nancy Cashen, Bible Study Core Leader, Mariners Church

About the Author

Diana has lived all her life in Denver and resides in its foothills with her husband and father of Kim, Charles. For a number of years she was on staff with a ministry teaching Bible studies on hearing the voice of God. She also became an acolyte-someone who assists the priest during services with readings from the Bible and serving Communion-in the Episcopal Church. She has written several books-Getting to Know God and Mourning Glory published by Burg Young, and an historical novel Dalliance published by Syracuse University Press.

Mother and daughter wanted to share their passion for the Lord and his Word by writing something together. Diana had written a book on the I AM sayings of Jesus. After much prayer and discussion they decided to write a meditative Bible study based on Diana's book, and so I AM - a Meditative Bible Study on the I AM Sayings of Jesus was born. This study has now been published in three volumes - the first two volumes of six studies each and now this one, which combines them in one study.

They both believe it is a work for people seeking a deeper walk and wanting to experience greater transformation through an intimate relationship with Christ. We ask blessings and enlightenment,
joy and depth-deep calling to deep-for all the students of this work.

Kim is an attorney and lives with her husband, Ted, and their two children, Brad and Mandy, in Newport Beach, California. She has been involved in Bible Studies for many years as a leader, teacher and speaker, and she currently leads a women's Bible study at her church, Mariners, in Irvine, California.

A new perspective on the transformative nature of God. Integrating elements from their own lives and spiritual journeys, the authors have created a devotional filled with wisdom, compassion, tenderness and honesty. The reader is led to experience a deeper intimacy in a relationship with God, one where there is a constant reminder that God’s word is alive and active in the heart

of a believer. I AM reminds us that we can do all things through Christ and that it is never too late to embrace the renewal God offers us daily.

What a remarkable spiritual odyssey this I AM study recounts! Coauthor Diana Burg was once a passionate atheist until God intervened through His Holy Spirit, working through co-author (and Diana's daughter), Kim Tapfer, in bringing Diana to the Lord. Together, mother and

daughter have penned a Bible Study that is life-changing and profound. It has my complete endorsement and admiration.

- Jill Roberts, one who took the study in spring of 2012

I LOVED I AM! It is so sweet and warm and wise! Thank you so much. I learned so much from your choice of Scriptures and from your and Kim's comments. I plan to reread sections of it before I give it to my daughter in law!

- Lis Pendley, A reader and Burrito Maker for Mean Street Ministry

Being part of helping a mother and daughter, Diana and Kim, put together a Bible study like I AM has strengthened my faith and deepened my relationship with God. I AM is a must read for anyone who wants a closer relationship with God.
