I now have this whole series (five books). If you are interested in a quick semi-devotional commentary on the Torah - this is great. If you are studying any of the Pent. books I recommend this set to augment any other commentaries you may be using. J. Feinberg also offers rabbinic commentary, so you get some insight into how the older rabbis interpreted passages from a purely Jewish perspective. It is also a mini-Hebrew course, so if you have studied Hebrew there are some great little "Hebrew Lessons" in the beginning of each chapter. I really love this set.

Walk Genesis is the first Messianic Jewish devotional commentary that brings together Jews and Gentiles in a common faith walk. Gentiles will understand that God reached out to them first and only created Israel as a nation because mankind needed divine help from above. The line of kings promised Abraham resulted in the birth of Jesus, the Messiah. The virgin birth and birth of Isaac are two instances of divine intervention--you'll see how God courts Sarah to birth a child with Abraham! Readers will be THRILLED to see that God has always loved mankind as a whole--and, believe it or not, the existence of a Jewish people shows God's covenant kindness to all mankind. You will never be the same after reading this book.

bought this to study Torah from the messianic perspective. Feinberg does an excellent job of laying out the weekly readings, as well as setting a framework of Hebrew understanding and Brit Chadasha fulfillment. I love this book thus far and plan to read the whole set in a year!

A great series for personal or family devotions, simple with neat tidbits of rabbinical information scattered throughout but not for one who wishes to study in depth. It's a walk in the park as opposed a hike in the wilderness.
