Just Rise Up – A Call To Make Jesus Famous – Inscribed Collection Bible Study Review
One of the most important things about writing a book is selecting the perfect title, so I’ll be honest: when I first saw the title Just Rise Up! A Call To Make Jesus Famous, I thought the book was going to focus on evangelism.
While that wasn’t on my current list of preferred study topics, I truly enjoyed my time in the first four books in Thomas Nelson’s Inscribed Collection of Studies By Women, so I decided to request the book anyway.
I’m so glad I did. In actuality, Just Rise Up! A Call To Make Jesus Famous is a Bible Study about praise.
Just Rise Up! by Sarah Francis Martin is a Bible Study based on Psalm 145. The author states that it’s her hope that, by the end of the study, we will all lead lives that reflect daily praise of Jesus.
There are a number of things that I like about this study, including the author’s personal stories about her life, the journaling prompts, the prayer notes, and the highly interactive nature of the study.
The one thing I felt was conspicuously missing from the book was an actual copy of Psalm 145 itself. While I recognize that most people will want to read the Scriptures in their preferred translations, I strongly believe that whenever possible, the passages that are being studied should be included for reference because readers will not always have their Bibles handy when they are previewing or reading the book! Since the central focus of this book is one Psalm, that rule applies!
In spite of the somewhat misleading title and the omission of the Psalm that the Bible Study is about, I truly enjoyed Just Rise Up! and found this Bible Study very relevant to my life. While the book seemed geared towards a millennial audience, I think that there is something that women of all ages can take away from this book.
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Thank you for reviewing this study. Praise is what we are called to do. The last 5 Psalms are all about praising God.

Daily praise is so important!
