CATHERINE L HILL

I have known Cathy Hill since we were babies in the nursery at First Baptist Church in tiny Springlake, Texas.  Her roots in God’s Word run deep, as evidenced by her faithful & committed life.

Well-Worn Paths is a Bible study born of the Holy Spirit & manifested from Cathy’s own walk along those paths of joy. Her stories of ranch life serve as a perfect backdrop and analogy for the study of Philippians.  

In 15 years of leading Ladies’ Bible Study at that same little country church in Springlake, I have never taught a study as eloquently organized as Well-Worn Paths by Catherine Hill.  There is a fresh consistency to her writing which allows the reader to truly grasp the lessons being taught. Throughout the study, her callback to previous teachings aids to cement each concept, while glimpses of the lessons ahead build anticipation for leaders and participants alike. She truly leads a journey down these well-worn paths by allowing the reader to discover God’s truth on their own, while always being available to guide them in the right direction.  The maps Cathy provides through her charted visions & tasks for each chapter of Philippians provide clear and concise information for each week. This is an exceptional learning tool I have not seen utilized to this extent, with joyful results.

The content of this study leads to a deeper revelation of God and His Word.  Cathy expertly informs study participants with knowledge of the culture and time through stories which paint a picture of life in Bible times.  This study digs deep into Scripture not only in the book of Philippians, but also gleans instruction from other passages in God’s Word. She directs to deepen personal relationships with God as she challenges to continually apply the lessons learned through her “boots on the ground” sections in the book.  

Well-Worn Paths by Catherine Hill is an excellent study of the book of Philippians that will enlighten any reader’s path to experiencing the true joy of Jesus in their life.  —- Kelley F.

“Well-Worn Paths” is more than another study on Philippians. Cathy has a unique ability to take God’s word and present a clear and precise picture of God’s purpose for us and the steps needed to tread a path of Joy no matter our circumstances. It’s a study you will refer to repeatedly and want to share with others needing the hope & love of Jesus. ~ Jonna E.

I have been a Christian since elementary school and have had the opportunity to be involved in many wonderful Bible studies through the years. Without a doubt, Well-Worn Paths has been the most practical, powerful and life-changing study I have ever experienced. I only wish I had this study when I was younger so I could practice the truths I learned longer. ~ Carol M.

Well-Worn Paths is truly a transformative study. Dr. Hill has written this study with context that is deep, yet understandable. Every concept that she broaches in the study is steeped in scripture. I never felt as though I was reading one person’s opinion; it was clear that scripture and the Holy Spirit had driven each thought in the study. Well-Worn Paths also effectively uses repetition which helped me truly “digest” the concepts and scripture in the study in life changing ways, in my daily thought and prayer life and beyond. I grew closer to those who participated in the study and more importantly, my intimacy with my Heavenly Father intensified. I am so grateful for this study! ~ Michelle B.

Dr. Hill’s unique approach to acquiring and maintaining true biblical joy is life changing. Like Paul, I have learned how to have biblical joy no matter my circumstances. ~ Bobbie G.

I have never known a lady who has such ease, comfort, and knowledge of the Bible. Cathy has sought God’s guidance every step of the way in creating this amazing Bible Study! She is gifted in her presentation of God’s word. Thankful to call her a friend. ~ Jeri S.
