The way Wiersbe has the layouts of his books are fabulous--you get a personal or group Bible study divided into convenient sections with specific readings, each chapter of the book with a theme. It's a great way to delve deeper into God's word by studying just one book of the Bible at a time.

Our Sunday school class has just begun this study of the Book of John and our leader had already chosen this commentary as the one that she would base the study on. Several members of the class said that they would also like to have the study book and I offered to purchase it for them and went to Amazon.Com to make the purchase. I ordered the first 10 books and while they came in 4 separate packages, they arrived in time for class and then the next week we found that we would need 3 more books and I contacted Amazon.Com once again and the books arrived in time for class the next Sunday. This week we are studying Chapter 3, but so far I, myself, am very pleased with the study and how it is presented. It makes one think, but also explains John's presentation and that is how we will continue to learn. I also liked being notified that the order had been shipped and I was able to track when it would/should arrive and I was very pleased with the prompt shipping and delivery of the orders. Thank you.

I found his work confusing and not well-thought out. Likely due to his Arminian point of view of a Gospel that is all about God's work in saving His own sheep, and contrasting the unbelief of those who do not have the Spirit, who are DEAD. (Hence, his title, Be Alive.) You would be better off reading the Gospel itself, than trying to find coherence in this commentary.
