This is a great resource for studying the Bible. Each of the books are given an overview and an outline. There is also a timeline which follows some of the more important events in the Bible. There are questions to use for further thought or discussion and ways to use each of the books in a person's life. Included are a number of different reading plans to help fit a person's need.I was given this book by NetGalley and Discovery House Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
Signs of the times: the end and a new beginning--Revelation.
I love every aspect of this book. It is a great resource for studying the Bible, and gaining deeper understanding of the Bible. You can choose to use this book alongside your Bible while studying or you read his description and snapshot of the book you want to study before reading your Bible each day. However you choose to use it, this book is great resource for all. For me, I read about the book I want to study before beginning. This helps me to understand the context of the Scripture better.
This guide is a great tool and like a snapshot of each book of the Bible. It gives you a brief overview and great analogies of each book
The author is very thorough in his explanation of the Bible, book by book. The expanded edition which I have in an ebook format is loaded with maps and charts, discussion questions, life application and sidebars, as well as some beautiful color photographs of the Holy Land.
I love how the author describe how the old and new testament compliment each other.
The book has different Bible reading plans, that many readers will find very helpful if they are interested in reading the Bible in one year.
For a reader-friendly guide to the Bible, the average Bible reader will find Adventuring Through the Bible a useful addition to his or her library.
I feel this is a good resource for anyone wanting to learn about the bible, or just wanting to discover a new way to study it.
I would recommend this to libraries, churches, Pastors and individuals.
Buying this book will be a great addition and resource to your library and will come handy whenever you need it.
I received this book from the publisher through NETGALLERY for this review.
This review also appears Goodreads, Barnes and Nobles and Christian Books.
I was looking forward to reading this book. However, I did not feel like it lived up to its title, especially the part which states it tickles. There were lessons throughout the stories, but I don't see children keeping their attention on the stories with so few colorful illustrations. In addition, I did not see anything that would draw children into them.
The time of "The Troubles" was devastating, for all. When I first read about this time, I could only think of how bad people were to be willing to kill others. I forgot that they were all PEOPLE and there are two sides to every story.
This is a riveting story. I could not put it down because it opened my eyes with every page. The topic, human trafficking, is not an easy one to approach, yet it surrounds us. Most of the victims are not in the business by choice. This books begs for prayers all of the way through it. I know all the victims have mine.
I love this little book and I feel every woman needs a copy. I received an ebook version of this, but in my life this makes more sense than a book for my purse as I have difficulties holding hard copies of books. I always have my Kindle Fire with me and to have this reference close at hand helps me find the perfect prayer for every need everyday.
This is a collection of four short stories by Colum McCann. Each is as good as the others. The characters are all well-developed, which does not always happen with short stories.
I had mixed feelings about this book. I loved the story line but the language throughout and the one-liners did not connect with me.
Lucy Ailling sells antique books for Sid in Chicago. Generally she keeps inventory and welcomes people to the store but there is more. From as far back as she could remember she thought of books as friends, sometimes more than actual people.
When I first discovered the Celtic faith, I was a little wary. That is until I discovered about their journey in conversion to Christianity.
I have never read a historical novel set in a time like this. Late October 1961. Not a great time to be living in Florida as the United States and Cuba were setting up for a deadly game of cat and mouse.
This is an enjoyable book to read. It is a great way to introduce children to the concept of living in different times. I found myself falling into the book early on.
Aimee de Roseville has decided to return to the country she grew up in. She wanted to receive her inheritance, which was stolen by her Uncle Paul. She is on her way to find out why he took it. However, answers are not always as straight forward as we expect.
I was a little disappointed in this book. In the introduction he mentions hearing many stories on his travels as a businessman. I also believed that he was going to learn lessons from the stories other passengers shared with him. Instead, I felt like he was judgmental of the others, instead.
This novella is a part of A Year of Weddings Novella. Generally, novellas that stand alone irritate me because they are so predictable and the emotions which tie me to the character are missing. Becky Wade has overcome these shortcomings.
