This book makes the study of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles much easier, since it shows the parallel passages next to each other on the same page. The pages are conveniently divided into 2 larger columns, one for the Judah, one for Israel. This method takes much of the confusion out of trying to figure out what is going on where and when, since the "overlaps" are shown side-by-side. I think such a harmony in essential to have available to the Christian community. I myself teach Sunday School and have found it indispensible. My only objection to this particular harmony is that Mr. Crockett has seen fit to rearrange the chronology in places (rather than just going straight through Samuel and Kings, incorporating Chronicles where it overlaps). His way of doing it has made it difficult for those without harmonies to follow what it going on.

Many people do not even study these books and therefore do not understand the history within them. Without understanding history they can't truly understand prophecy. This book makes that essential study much easier. [...]...

This harmony is similar to a harmony of the Gospels. There is no real commentary; the passages are simply arranged in columns so the reader can better understand sequences and the full details of accounts that are referenced in Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles.

This is a book for pastors, academics, or laymen who are planning an extensive lesson/sermon series on some the characters in these narratives or academics who have interest in chronology.

I ordered this book for an unbelievable price then they couldn't deliver. I guess it was too good to be true.
