4.0 out of 5 stars You will find hope and strength here..., February 2, 2004

This review is from: 101 Most Powerful Verses in the Bible (Hardcover)

**** The Bible provides words of comfort, power, and hope for many people. Most often, readers turn to the Psalms, or one of Paul's letters to find a balm to their soul. Yet, the entire book is filled with strong words to light and guide our paths. The authors have chosen 101 that stirred their hearts and shared them, making them relevant to today's context. With literary references and stories of the day to day routine, these ancient words come to life in a new way. You will find hope and strength as you read this, and will perhaps be inspired to read more of the book from which they originate. ****

This review is from: 101 Most Powerful Verses in the Bible (Hardcover)

For millenniums, religious scholars and teachers and everyday people have evaluated and interpreted the verses from the patriarchs and prophets of the Old Testament and from Jesus and his first century followers in the New Testament. As they have done with the other 101 bible books, Steve and Lois Rabey select those verses that they feel have the most impact when applied to modern day life. The choices run the gamut, but not all are that well known though some like Job's lament and "In the beginning ..." are. The Rabeys also provide simple interpretation for application in today's information age society without being condescending to their audience.

This is perhaps the best of the four well written 101 Most Powerful ... in the Bible. The verses chosen are powerful in of themselves, but the Rabeys are in top form as they provide insight and interpretation in a twenty-first century context as few individuals have been able to do. Though clearly Christian in nature including those excerpts from the Books of Moses, readers will find this book a For millenniums, religious scholars and teachers and everyday people have evaluated and interpreted the verses from the patriarchs and prophets of the Old Testament and from Jesus and his first century followers in the New Testament.
