I was glad to find a book that gave so much information in a way the average person could grasp it. It is easy reading and many mini tests to check your retainability on the lessons covered, allowing you to build your knowledge from one lesson to another.

Exploring indeed! There's a brief description and commentary for every part of scripture it is covering. Very useful for personal biblestudy into deep, but also a great resource for preparing messages...
