5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent resource for understanding the Old Testament!,
By
This review is from: A Guide Through the Old Testament (Paperback)
This guide along with Celia Marshall's guide to the New Testament provides the reader with a clear understanding of the composition of the Bible. She also provides ways for the reader to interpret the Bible. I like the workbook format and the tear out pages. I am a pastor who teaches the Bible in a church. I use this guide often in my classes. I find Celia's explanation of things to make so much sense. I find that church people who use this guide on their own have a better understanding of the Old Testament. It makes my work easier when trying to explain difficult passages from the Old Testament to them. I would recommend this guide along with the guide to the New Testament to anyone who wants to know the Bible.

The OT is hard to read and understand. This book helps you read this quickly and very detailed. Some questions really made you think hard. If you are trying to read the Old Testament, and you tried before, this is the perfect book for you.
