5.0 out of 5 stars Beth Moore, a gifted teacher, October 29, 2006

By	LL (FL, United States) - See all my reviews

I respectfully disagree with every last word of the previous review. The Patriarchs study was well-done and I believe God-inspired. Beth Moore does an excellent job of revealing the flawed humanity and sin-nature of every human being, including the patriarchs of the O.T. She does so to encourage all who might feel "too far gone" in their sin or inadequate in some way to serve the Lord and show that with Christ, all things are possible. He doesn't choose those who appear qualified in the world's eye, but those He deems worthy in His own sovereign knowledge. This study provides a wonderful foundation of the book of Genesis in a way that is relevant, respectful and that brings the characters to life. The patriarchs were no more or less perfect than anyone else, yet I am amazed at how God used these sinful, imperfect men to bring His covenant to a lost world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dynamic Study!!, May 1, 2007

By	CD "devotedmomof7" (Texas) - See all my reviews

This study is, at present, the best Beth Moore Indepth Bible Study I've taken part in! Like the reviewer, LL, stated, an honest look at our "heroes of the faith" provides such a swell of comfort in knowing that God can use the flawed, the failing, and bring them into lives of victory. God was with them, loved them, and blessed them despite many glaring obstacles. The study was a tremendous blessing to me. Mrs. Moore's ability to discern deep truths and her knowledge that allows her to pull the Old Testment references together and to the New Testament confirmations amazes me. God is not afraid to show us the real struggles faced by His people.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Patriarchs, March 30, 2007

By	Jerrie C "odinvontres" (Meeker Co.) - See all my reviews

My Bible Study group, just finished the Patriarchs. It was truley a blessing to have done this study. This was my first time with Beth Moore and she is simply amazing. Every lesson reached my heart and soul. Her workbook is great and the CD's that are with this study are just awesome. This study covers the book of Genesis, from Abraham to Jacob, and showed how God tied Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to the present and the future. It is a study well worth taking.
