I had to read this book for a Bible class but I loved it so much I recommended it to others as a devotional to read along with the Bible. They also enjoyed it! If you want to be enriched in God's knowledge while also getting a better historical understanding of the times of Moses, David, Jesus, Paul and so on this is the book to read! God Bless you all who choose to buy and read!

This is the best survey I've read so far. It gives a very clear picture of the history of what was going on in Israel as the books were being written. It ties each book of the Bible together really well in conjunction with what was going on throughout the rest of Scripture and why it was important to the original audience as well as to current readers. I will definitely refer back to this book as a recourse when questions come up in the future.

I have done a regular men's study - I truly wish I would have had this reference years ago. I love the way it approaches everything. The information is so good and easy to cross reference. A must for any serious ongoing study.....

I also read this book for a Bible class in college. This book is so well written and tells the story of the Bible so well that I had a hard time putting it down. It was hard to believe it was a textbook.

I have always been a Christian, but never considered myself a Bible scholar. This book helped me understand the Bible so much more. It really ties everything together.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about the Bible and its teachings.

I love this book! Harbin has done a fantastic job at putting together a description of the Bible. It seems difficult going through the Bible on your own sometimes, but this book makes the information much clearer. You can tell that Harbin has really taken his time in laying out all of the information and studying it all.

This was one of the textbooks for my Bible class and it has a lot of good information. It flows fairly well.
