5.0 out of 5 stars A great collection..., December 11, 2005

By	ND Protestant (CA) - See all my reviews

This is truely a great collection of the best verses of the Bible. Pastor John carefully interprets and explains the verses as if you are sitting in a personal study session with him and offers sound teaching and proper exegesis. You will find yourself wanting to read this again when you are done. It is great for morning/evening devotion either with your family or for yourself. Crystal clear teaching and a book you'll want to read again and again. A must read for any serious Protestant believer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, July 6, 2009

By	W. Matthews (Strongstown, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is probably the best summary (quick) understanding of the important scripture references every Christian should know.

MacArthur gives 52 key verses and a brief explanation of each. The idea of the book is for the reader to read, understand, and think about one piece of scripture a week for the entire year.

The passages are grouped together in chapters to help the reader focus on one aspect of Christianity for several weeks before moving on to the next topic.

I would strongly recommend this book to a new or growing Christian. This would also be a good book for a more mature Christian looking to deepen or strengthen their faith as well.
