5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Journey Through Biblical Personas, February 17, 2008

This review is from: Courageous Faith: Life Lessons from Old Testament Heroes (Hardcover)

I really enjoyed this book because it provides a guided, in-depth yet fairly brief look at the culture and issues surrounding Old Testament figures such as Jacob, etc. If you are looking for an overview of Old Testament heroes along with life application learning points, then this book is for you. I used this book during a Bible Study, and it was excellent for that use.

This was a required textbook for and Old Testament Survey class I took. Hindson has a way of bringing the OT characters to life and giving you some insight into the more personal aspects of Bible characters. He is very good at helping you to apply biblical stories to your life. The book is enjoyable and easy to read. I would recommend it for someone teaching a teen or adult sunday school class. It would make a great guide and offers good discussion points at the end of each chapter. To help you I would also recommend watching Hindson's lectures on Old Testament Survey in iTunes University, they coincide with this book. He is insightful and very entertaining. You'll find yourself laughing and taking notes at the same time.

If you are an intermediate to advanced student you probably wouldn't gain much from the book but still may enjoy the read.
