Bibles Bible Studies Books

This Bible version is utilized by ALL students in the Scripture Research Class that I teach. Dr. Bullinger was an emminent biblical scholar, the only Christian authorized to review the massoratic text. The side notes in the Companion Bible are an invaluable tool for me and my students.

Since there is no "copyright" on the name "Companion Bible" I am disappointed that other publishers are able to offer Companion-Bible-substitutes by other so-called-scholars that mislead the Christian student to believe that these pretenders are providing in-depth study tools. Scriptural teaching ... KNOW YOUR SCRIBE!

I highly recommend this book for any serious student of the KJV Bible. The scholarship in the notes and appendices are excellent, and well worth the cost of the book. Bullinger gives complete background documentation without any of the tainted unpleasantness of Westcott & Hort.

Upon opening box I found the book was loosely packed inside a large box which caused a lot of damage to the pages. Bent cover as well. Returned for refund.

It's perhaps a little late to add to the hundreds of good reviews. And I surely won't describe the Bible's content or Bullinger's extraordinary scholarship or the contents themselves. But I come from the A.A. tradition.The Good Book and the Big Book: A.A.'s Roots in the Bible (Bridge Builders Edition); The James Club and the Original A.A. Program's Absolute EssentialsThe Good Book-Big Book Guidebook; and Twelve Steps for You: Take the Twelve Steps with the Big Book, A.A. History, and the Good Book at Your Side. In a time when Biblical emphasis in A.A. has all but disappeared, I had to dig away at the Word of God with all the tools I could find. Bullinger's Companion Bible was a top resource. Reviewers have described its annotations, footnotes, and appendices. And I still use them all. My first copy is weather-worn and has been replaced by a shiny new one. But the need and value remain. To be able to tie together the New and Old Testaments,find the detailed explanations, and soak up Bullinger's research has been a joy to me as I have marched toward the abundant life and the eternal life that's sure to follow.

This bible along with biblical insightful commentary and 198 appendixes is a sure compliment to your library of study materials. While you may not always agree with the findings of some of the appendixes, most are historically documented and or have their roots in the manuscripts used for the text. Most other reference bibles I have viewed are considerably more opinionated than Bullinger's . Because he is a dispensationlist and I am not, I have to work around some of his theology, however there is so much good information compiled into one source that I have to use this as my primary study bible. Words taken from the Greek or Hebrew have a wealth of meaning that we, accustomed to English, can not even fathom. Fortunately Bullinger takes you through various meanings of words that are applied to particular verses and have many appendixes relating to specific words that have varying meanings. Also, figures of speech are marked throughout the Word and then defined in the appendixes. Quite an amazing reference book relating to the best book ever penned. All old testament scriptures duplicated in the new testament are in bold making easy referencing possible. The Bullinger Companion Bible is KJV and has never been adapted to other translations. The large print version is a load to carry around while the leather bound is most normal in size and weight The hardback and large print are bulky and unattractive, but a lot less expensive. I have all three for the three of us in our home. My husband loves the large print, I love the leather bound while our daughter prefers the regular print hardback.

The Baltimore Catechism is especially useful for children and those who are new to the faith. It is very easy to understand and is presented in a question and answer format. Not only that but it is orthodox (meaning correct in doctrine). While old, it is still a gold standard in the realm of catechisms.

I've taught CCD off and on for many years. Recently, I had to fill in for the high school CCD teacher at our parish, as she was out of town for a while. The curriculum I was given to teach was so incredibly boring, shallow, and hard to teach, I was at a total loss. I would sit for hours trying to find a way to make it interesting, relevant, and "non-condescending." I found myself instead "touching" on the prescribed curriculum, but pulling the "meat" of our lesson from the St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism, books 1 and 2.

What? High school students taking lessons from what was essentially an early elementary school book? YES. And I was amazed at how few of the Catechism questions they were able to answer.

But I saw these kids go from falling asleep at their tables (with the newer curriculum) to opening their eyes and actually taking an interest in their faith when I pulled out the old Catechism! What better way to teach compassion and love than from the lesson on the 7 corporal works of mercy! What better way to cement their belonging to our Church, than studying the 4 marks of the Church and our rich Catholic history! And what better way to understand right from wrong than from a lesson on mortal and venial sins.

As I taught them FROM the books (discussions, memorization, stories relating to each lesson, games) the old fashioned pictures and anecdotes were not a problem, though I don't think any of the kids in our class would be turned off by them. These books teach the backbone of our faith, and I think any Catholic child/teen/adult could only benefit from the simple, down to earth instruction within it's pages. HIGHLY recommended.

The Baltimore Catechism was first issued in 1885 as an American Catholic Catechism and was used extensively from 1885 until the 1960s, when (unfortunately) American Catholics moved away from using catechisms. With the advent of the amazing Catechism of the Catholic Church (ISBN: 0385508190), and the brand new Compendium of the Catechism (ISBN: 1574557203), fewer and fewer people are using the Baltimore Catechism. While I love both the new Catechism and the Compendium, I believe that the Baltimore catechism still has an important place.

The New Saint Joseph Baltimore Catechism No. 2 is an edition of the Baltimore Catechism intended for older children, but I have used it frequently as an adult. It is arranged in a useful question and answer format, and the answers are classically Catholic. There is no fudging in any way; the Baltimore Catechism clearly and concisely explains what Catholics believe. While the theology of the Baltimore Catechism is essentially the same as post-Vatican II Catholic Theology, some Catholic discipline has changed since it was written, so it is always helpful to compare what is written with current canon law. At the end of each section are questions and scripture readings related to what was discussed. At the very end of the book is a glossary, excerpts from the Mass, an essay on "why I am a Catholic," the Stations of the Cross, the Rosary, and photos of the Holy Land. These make the Baltimore Catechism a helpful Catholic reference.

There may be a few potential drawbacks to this book. First, the photos look like they are straight out of another (past) era. While I like them now, when I was a sixth grader, I would have thought they were silly. I know this is superficial, but unfortunately, teens and pre-teens often put a big emphasis on these sorts of things. Second, the biblical names used in the Baltimore Catechism come from the Vulgate / Douay-Rheims translations of the Bible. While I have copies of both translations, most kids and adults these days are not familiar with them. For instance, we refer to Noah, not Noe. Of course, these are minor drawbacks only.

Overall, I highly recommend the Baltimore Catechism. While the recent official catechisms are excellent, and should be the foundation of Catholic catechesis, there is still a place for the Baltimore catechism. When I have children, I am going to make sure they are raised on the Baltimore Catechism as well as the official ones. Also, I think that adults, especially those in the RCIA program, could use to hear the clear and concise answers the Baltimore Catechism provides.

Excellent text for personal study. Brief, succient, and broad based. Quickest way to get a grounding in basic Catholicism. Readable at Junior High level and up. Good for Home schooling.

I was given a copy of this by my RCIA sponsor. What a wonderful book. While aimed at adolescents, it conveys the truths of God in a uncomplicated and friendly way. No mumbo-jumbo. No modernist equivocation or hand-wringing. Just the truth.

Now that it has been a year since I came into the Catholic church, I find that what I remember about this book are the pictures. The pictures in the context of what they are trying to teach. A boy calling to friend that he is going to confession. The ship with the sails of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. That is how I remember these. The images, and the memories they produce, are priceless and will have ETERNAL benefits!

You are not too old, too well read or too well catechized NOT to open this up and read it from time to time.

As best as I can determine, this is the only paperback edition of the King James Version with all 80 books included on the market. As such, as you're after one this will have to be it and I've bought more than one myself.
Unfortunately, the notes in the back are not Christian (they contain a lot of so-called 'higher criticism') and perhaps this explains why the word 'Holy' is not included on the cover also. The type in the part before Genesis is a little small in parts but most people don't buy this kind of edition for the sake of those words anyway.

I was glad to find a 1611 KJV with apocrypha. The text is easy to read and is same English used in he revised authorized KJV we currently have today. What else can I say about the content, other than it is - God's Holy Word!

I have owned my copy for 4 years, and I use it regularly. The first problem I had was the size of the book. It is so thick, it is almost cube-like in appearance. The thickness makes the book cumbersome to handle. Second, the paperback binding is weak. The entire Gospel of Luke has liberated from the binding. I have glued it back several times. Each time a few more pages come loose.

This is a copy of the KJV complete with the Apocrypha texts that are often lacking in copies of the KJV today. For that reason, along with the nice type setting and layout, this is a nice copy of the King James and I am certainly pleased to own it, and I've recommended this edition, with caution, to others. The editorial notes, while of some efficacy express a perspective that is too concerned with "historical" aspects of the Bible. The Bible is not a science text, nor an historical document. Scholarship running in the vein of history (or science for that matter) is only going to be of limited value. The use of "BCE", and "CE" is simply an academic barbarism that people who actually believe they live in the year of our Lord will rightly find distasteful. Such a dating system has little place in commentaries accompanying the text of the venerable translation of the very work that gives rise to the use of "BC" and "AD". However, one should read the KJV for other reasons than the affected commentary inserted around the text, and this edition otherwise presents the KJV very nicely.

This reviewer got this surprisingly low priced edition of the King James Bible (KJV) because of historical interest and to win a friendly wager. A young lady who is Protestant and this reviewer discussed the KJV, and we agreed that based on the Epistle Dedacatory,dedicated to King James I of England (1603-1625), that the KJV was an anti-Catholic Bible. However, she disagreed that the original KJV had the Aprocrypha Books which are in all Catholic bibles but not in most Protestant bibles. So, the friendly wager was made, and this reviewer won this friendly wager.

The editors' Introduction is of historical interest. There are good comments on the different arrangement of the Hebrew Bible (for Christians the Old Testament) and the Christian Old Testament. In the earliest editions of the Christian Bible,the Apocrypha Books (Judith, Tobit or Tobias, Baruch, Ecclesiasticus,not to be confused with Ecclesiastes, Wisdom, and I Maccabees and II Maccabees)were part of the Christian Bible for over a thousand years. Readers should note that for political and religious reasons, this rearrangement was made by 400 AD.

Another point the editors made in the introduction was that the KJV and other editions of the Bible were based on what might be called layers of translations. Much of the Hebrew Bible was originally written in Hebrew and Aramaic. The editors speculate that Hebrew, the oldest known biblical language, may have been introduced to the Ancient Hebrews from other Mesopotamian peoples. The first known translation of the Hebrew Bible or most of it was made between c. 287-247 BC whereby the Hebrew was translated into Greek. This translation was known as the Septuagint and exposed the Hebrew Bible to larger readership. Many of the Ancient scholars in Western Civilization knew Greek but not Hebrew.

As mentioned above, St. Jerome (346-420 AD) translated the Latin Vulgate Bible which, again, was the Christian Bible in Western Europe. The editors noted that as early as St. Jerome, the Christian Bible had already undergone layers of translations. The Catholic Church authorities, contrary to popular opinion, did not discourage translations of the Bible into vernacular languages as long as they were based on the Vulgate Bible. For example St. Bede (680-735)was working on an Anglo-Saxon translation when he died. In other words the Bible had undergone layers of translations in the early history of Christianity.

By the time of the Reformation (c. 1517-1650), there were several Protestant translations most of which had anti-Cathoic overtones. Some of these omitted the Aprocrypha, but the earliest KJV did not. The translators worked under severe restrictions impose by James I which can be found on pages xxvi-xxvii of the introduction. For example, James I stated that he wanted to word ecclesia to be translated as church(Church of England) and not congregation as the Puritans, whom James I did not like, would have it.

The introduction also shows the serious divisions among the Protestants themselves. Many of the "reformers" hated each other and their followers as much if not more than the Catholics. For example, the German Protesants who met with their Catholic counterparts at Diet of Speyer in 1529 had to be silenced due to their loud internal disputes. When the Catholic authorities called the Council(s) of Trent (1545-1663), their Protestant guests had to again be silenced. This was not so much due to Protestant disputes with Catholicism but due more so to their rancorous internal disputes. Such divisions can be seen in the Epistle Dedicatory and James I's comments on other Protestant bibles. For example the editors cite James I's remarks that the Geneva Bible, a Protestant Bible, was the worst Bible he had ever seen.

The original translators' notes are worth reading. These men had to be as accurate as they could with translating the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek while adhering to James I's guidelines which were very restrictive. The notes not only present the difficulties faced by the translators, but they are are of historical interest.

Readers should also note that some of the early KJVs had embarrassing errors. One edition of the KJV was known as the Murderers' Bible because typesetters omitted the word "not" in the Sixth Commandment about not killing (the Seventh Commandment for Catholics). Another edition was known as the Wicked Bible because typesetters forgot the word "not" in the Seventh Commandment (Eighth Commandment in the Catholic Bible) about not committing adultry. One early edition of the KJV was know as the Vinegar Bible because Christ's parable about going into the vineyard was set in type as vinegar. Yet, the KJV survived these careless errors as well as other which can be found on pages 141-143 in Father Graham's book titled WHERE WE GOT THE BIBLE.

Readers may ask why this reviewer gave this Bible a high rating. The KJV is an expression of great English Literature. The translators knew that the English language was undergoing rapid changes in the 17th. century, and they used what some call Archic English to give the KJV a permanent place in biblical literature. The verses are cadenced, and the use of the Archaic English is a pleasure to read. Younger readers may think this reviewer is old fashioned, and they may be right. However, this reviewer likes the reading of the KJV.

This reviewer also wants to correct a historical error re English translations of the Bible. Some men have argued that the Catholic Douay-Rheims Bible, an English Catholic translation, was written in response and as a reaction to the KJV. Such an assumption does not stand historical scrutiny. The Catholic Douay Rheims Bible was finished in 1609, and the KJV was finished two years later.

This reviewer highly recommends the Oxford Classics edition of the KJV. This book has interesting historical notes and a solid bibliography to attract interested readers. As a couple of reviewers stated the Oxford Classics edition of the KJV is very reasonably priced, and even though this edition is paperback, it is well bound and made to last. Readers would do well to get this book.

This is the version used by Catholics and is missing Psalm 151, 3 and 4 Maccabees. It does not contain the entire Apocrypha!

Henrietta's book is the most useful tool in understanding the Bible. If you are in a Bible Study or just reading the Bible, this book is a must read first, last or as you progress. I have had the privledge to know the author and she was a shining star herself and her book is just an example of how she relates to God's word to and with others. She is missed in life but her rewards are overflowing. I hope to meet her again.

I bought this book for my sister because she likes the King James Version however it is a very easy read and everything is very understandable. All Harriet Mears books are very informative.

Many of us call ourselves Christians, but know so little about our Bibles. This classic will change all of that. Should be required reading of all Christians. Call it Bible 101. A must for your library.

I have ordered at least 35 of these books for students I have taught over the past 2.5 years only because it is one of the best sources of Bible knowledge apart from the Bible itself. The organization of the material and the way it is presented makes it a great lead-in to student Bible study. It does not portent to replace the Bible, simply establish a different way of understanding what the Bible has to offer. I keep several variations of this book in my personal library. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that wants a obtain a clear cut understanding of the Bible before they read the Bible itself.

I can't say enough good things about this book! I have purchased it twice for each student in my Bible classes at our congregation. (5/6th grade level). I use it in my preparations to teach and since it is reproducible for that use, find it to be invaluable. I disagree doctrinally with some of the teaching in it (Calvinistic teachings) but for helping others to understand the books of the Bible and its chronology, it is wonderful. There are maps and charts as well as a good dictionary in the back of the book. Get it for your children AND yourself!

This book is a must-have for any Bible student or for anyone who is interested in eschatology in general. The book is a very thorough examination of the Biblical prophesies of the Old and New Testaments that will answer any questions you may have regarding this fascinating topic. I encouraage every Christian to read it, as well as anyone else curious about the coming age. A fantastic read!!!

I bought THINGS TO COME a long time ago. I may still have it. For me the poor layman it surpasses my ability to endure. I read 110 pages of it and quit! I did learn that my style of Bible interpretation was the literal-historical interpretation. While people like Benny Hinn, who I have observed trying to teach the Bible is allegorical. I used one chapter which identifies the players in Ezekiel 38 and 39. Eveyone's books just say that Russia will invade Israel. But I remember him call "Gomer" there Germany. So, I just described Ezekiel 38 based on that book chapter as the nations of the world invading Israel to go to war with Jesus Christ in armageddon-Russia, the Germans and EU and the Arabs. I remember some complicated teachings about God's covneants with Isreal and Abraham. Too much for me. I just used it as sort of a reference book to look some things up in. My fomer P Chem prof, Dr. Thompson actually looks like Dwight Pentecost-how amusing!

If you need a new door stop OR a class Dispensational reference guide to eschatology, then Pentecost will do the job.

If you are looking for eschatology that's faithful to the history of redemption, better to look elsewhere.

Ironically, there's more good eschatology in Acts via the *real* Pentecost than J.D. Pentecost's understanding of Acts!!

In his ground-breaking 1948 work on Systematic Theology, Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer (then President of Dallas Theological Seminary) wrote concerning Eschatology, "It is assuredly the desire of God that His own who are in the world shall know what He is going to do." Ten years later, Dr. J. Dwight Pentecost (also of Dallas Theological Seminary) carried forward Chafer's passion for illuminating biblical prophecy by writing Things To Come, the book that is still accepted by many conservative, evangelical scholars as the most comprehensive, systematically detailed, doctrinally sound study of Eschatology available today.

As did Chafer, Pentecost bases his teachings on a literal (grammatical-historical) interpretation of Bible Scriptures. Preceding the body of his work with an entire section explaining the "allegorical" and "literal" methods of interpretation, Chafer then covers the entire field of prophecy from the Abrahamic covenant in Genesis to the "new heavens and new earth" in Revelation. The strength of his work lies in his ability to clarify the differences in God's plans for Israel and her future kingdom on earth and His plans for the Church, which will reside in Heaven.

Although not a book for lazy-minded prophecy faddists, any serious student of Eschatology should have this book in his or her personal library.

Edwin Scroggins is the author of Bible Prophecy in a Nutshell: A Mini-Survey of God's Great Plan of the Ages

This interesting book on Bible Eschatology makes for good reading and study. Written some years ago, it is still a monumental work for student and professional alike. Recommended.

Perkins leaves no stone unturned, covering the gammut of issues that one would expect to find in a scholarly NT introduction. However, her treatment of the issues is not thorough enough even for an introductory text. While this book certainly lays an adequate foundation, there are other NT introductions that offer more complete scholarship without sacrificing readability. If you are only looking to read one NT intro, I would recommend "The Writings of the New Testament" by Luke Timothy Johnson instead. I would recommend this book only if you are interested in comparing several NT intros.

I ordered this book second to my other books and it was shipped faster and arrived before all my other books. Great book also.

The author is a Catholic American professor of theology.
Her book is geared at the masses, it is accessible to the non-intellectual readers. It begins with some some chapters introducing some generalities and background information related to the New Testament (NT), but much shorter than in some other books, yet she succeeds in conveying what is the important with less space. There are also a few general chapters related to Jesus, Paul... and related context throughout the book.

The rest is devoted to NT books. In each of these chapters she presents the context of the books, their outline and explains their content. Her points are generally not "speculative" but correspond to established scholarly (not fundamentalist yet conservative) views. In general she is quite straightforward and the explanations and answers are more concise than in other books. She does not follow the NT order (as in most books), but roughly rather the chronological order of the date of writing of the NT books, and the flow of her book then makes a lot of sense, a smart choice! Surprisingly, she does not bow down to political correctness (e.g. about Judaism) and courageously does not explain away the politically incorrect NT passages as later apologetic additions (as Bart Ehrman does in his books), I enjoyed that!

While this book is comparable in format to Boadt's Reading the Old Testament : an Introduction, it does not contain this long and boring retelling of the biblical accounts one has to go through in Boadt's book. Instead Perkins give some outlines, and in general is more to the point. She also more consistent in that she does not give the arguments with which the scholars come to their conclusions (that would mean a much bigger book....) whereas Boadt was inconsistent here (sometimes no argument, sometimes partially...) However she warns when scholars do not agree or are not sure about certain conclusions. Not to say that there is no logic and argumentation in her book, but it fits well in the flow of her explanations and exegesis.

There is a very good, well structured and annotated bibliography at the end, however the latest books date from 1986.

Hence I think this book will be great for the laymen who want a serious, reliable book that provide them quickly with good answers and the minimum required knowledge without undue complications and unnecessary thinking. If you are looking for a non-scholarly book on the NT on which you can rely upon in the most efficient and quick manner, Perkins' must be the best one. It is definitely worth its very low price.

If you have time and prefer to read a pricey book with a lot of blabla and a slow pace, then Bart Ehrman (definitely less conservative, more liberal)'s The New Testament. A Historical Introduction to the Early Christian Writings would be a more suitable book; it also puts the NT books well into context with non-canonical books (beware that Ehrman refused that the debate he had with William Craig, and completely lost, be published so as not to give more "air" to Craig's points! which says enough about Ehrman academic open-mindedness and truth-seeking not to speak of intellectual honesty...) If you instead are looking for a more advanced, scholarly book, with the latest scholarly references, then this is not the book for you, I recommend instead Udo Schnelle's The History and Theology of the NT (the latest German edition, Einleitung in das NT, is even more up-to-date).

I found this book to be very helpful to me in reading and understanding the New Testament. It is packed with all kinds of information: historical, theological, and the wisdon accumulated over many years by a truly outstanding college professor. I am currently reading through it for a second time (after reading it two years ago). I am taking my time, and reading some of the cited passages and looking at maps. I can honestly recommend this book - it is detailed and academic, however.

I do not think it is wise to use this book (or Gerd Theissens) as there are many NT introductory works that are much more worked out. Not only to the teacher this is patently clear, but especially students who read a chapter by Perkins and then go over the same topic by Brown, Guthrie, Witherington or Kümmel. The student will immediately find (s)he's been reading assumptions, positions and ideas that are not motivated, but simply based on traditional general pictures. There is quite some backreading of modern criteria into the first century and too often the jewish purpose of the books are underlooked. I realise Perkins has been a useful person as a teacher, but this is not a good book. Choose something else.

My Bible Study did this short study and it is amazing. We enjoyed it so much.

This is really a great book. I'm taking it just one chapter at a time for maximum value - I want to remember what I'm reading. Each chapter has a study guide at the end. I would highly recommend this book for those who are interested in a closer walk with God.

What Happens When Women Say Yes to God by Lysa TerKeurst is a wonderful devotional for women on the go. We have so much going on in our lives, and this books short chapters and easy readability make it perfect for tucking in the car or your purse. TerKeurst encourages readers to listen carefully for God to speak in their lives, and when he does answer yes with an unrestrained YES! She relates several times in her life when she did so and was amply rewarded for it, and her stories, as well as her humble attitude, are inspiring. My one and only complaint was that sometimes the telling felt a bit rushed. I think that each chapter could have been made into a book; she packs in so much good information, I wasn't ready to stop reading, and sometimes I felt like I needed just a bit more advice or aid to really get the point. I've passed this book on to my aunt; it's a good enough read that you want to pass it on.

Lysa TerKeurst's book, What Happens When Women Say Yes to God, is all about divine surrender. Through scripture and personal experience, she serves as a guide as to what can be attained through developing a wonderful and complete relationship with God. She begins her story with what took place during a plane ride when God told her to give away her Bible. It was a tremendous decision because her personal Bible had all of her notes and several highlighted, tear-stained memories. Yet, she did as she was guided to do--and it changed not only her life, but the lives of two others.

The author shares that she was adopted by her stepfather when her Mom remarried. As the mother of three biological children, to adopt was a hard decision for her. Yet, once she connected with two teenage boys from war-torn Liberia, Africa, she began to reconsider. She knew that she would have her hands full with five children. Still, she decided to heed God's command, and states in her book how fulfilling life has been since she did that.

Lysa shares many other stories of her life. Her husband and she once found themselves blessed with a little extra money. She excitedly began to plan how she would spend the money. Her husband wanted to give the money to the ministry! She was beside herself because they were always giving and giving. She started out using kind words to persuade him and when that didn't work, she became cold and angry. So, he relented. Yet, God had a lesson in store for her! Once she gave into God's will, she was able to find the peace and the object she had been searching for.

The book is chock full of all kinds of wisdom and direction. There are also numerous Bible Study questions and quotations for all readers to follow. I enjoyed the book and its message.

Lysa TerKeurst is providing a simple word of advice for all women to take to heart: Let Go and Let God!

Armchair Interviews says: Simple but powerful message.

The book is wonderful and very well published. I received it in record time. Thank you very much.

The Tabernacle: Shadows Of The Messiah, Its Sacrifices, Services, And Priesthood by David M. Levy examines the description and ministries of the Tabernacle as portrayed in fifty chapters of the Old Testament. This extensively researched presentation, offering full-color photographs and a wealth of archaeological evidence as well as close study of the Old Testament itself, sheds new light on the sacrifices, services, and priesthood of this ancient institution which figures so prominently in Judeo-Christian religious history. The Tabernacle is a welcome and highly recommended addition to Biblical Studies reading lists.

It's very good information regarding the entirely tabernacle. The typology of the tabernacle is much learned. The book is recommended if you want to know more about Jesus Christ. It is enjoyably read. :-)

Many Books on the Tabernacle but this one is such detail of describing of Christ. Uses alot of scripture. Awesome book. Well not resell. I will use as a refrence book along with the Bible

A pretty good book. But, if you are not Protestant you might be in for a slightly rough read. The author dwells heavily on the notion of legal imputation of the righteiousness of God. The book is not as organized as I hoped it would be. I was left with some unanswered questions about the priesthood and the sacrificial system. Also, there were not enough diagrams here for my liking. But still and all, I got a lot out of it.

Good book, although we did not get all the way through it. We still may.

Great book. This is by far one of the best devotional books we have purchased. Has real life situation that help bring the bible into kids current life problems. Has realistic situations and many different ways to handle them. Our seven year old loved it.

Wow, when I picked this book up in the Christian Book Store I was immediately taken by it. I've always looked for devotionals that would really hold my childrens' interests and this is it! Each day there is a new "sticky situation" that a child is in, and it gives multiple choice answers to figure out. Then it tells you where you can find help in the Bible (give a verse) and how to discuss this. The cover itself is hilarious and gets the kids to look inside. I have a 7yr old girl and 10.5 yr old boy and this book is great for both. It will be good for my son until he's at least 12. I also got the first version of this book which is just as good :) These are perfect to do either during breakfast in the morning or during dinner in the evening as a family. We keep them on our kitchen counter along with a Bible. You'll love it :)

I have 2 grade school boys that enjoy this book of devotions, the Sticky Situations: 2 book is packed full of real life situations, easily identifiable by your children with real life problems too! This book is divided by monthly topics, such as.. January's topic is love and kindness and so forth. I like the stories in this book different than others because the situations are vivid, believable, things that could and do happen every day at school, like... I WORE MY WWJD BRACELET TO SCHOOL AND THE CLASS BULLY ASKED ME WHAT IT STOOD FOR, DO I TELL HIM? Other stories include kids playing video games and resulting conflicts, comic books, tithe, neighbor friends, Sunday School...so many more. After each devotional story, there are multiple choice questions for you to read with your kids or them alone. Sometimes, more than one answer is possible, one is better than the other. The answers really get kids talking about the right path that should be taken, and also an opportunity for kids to share similar things/stuggles they've encountered and how better they can choose to react next time. A Bible reference is printed at the bottom of the page, the verse is not listed within the book.
