5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent study tool..., October 8, 2000

By	Caz (Kitchener, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What the Bible Is All About (Paperback)

This book is a perennial favourite for Bible students and well it should be - Ms. Mears accomplished something in her day that likely hasn't been matched since, and did it when the field of theology was dominated almost exclusively by men. Such fact attests that this book was divinely inspired. When one begins to read through the text, they'll sense that divine guidance!

The book is "a broad overview to help the reader see the Bible as a cohesive whole... how the books of the Bible fit together to form the entire Word of God."

If you're a bible student, brand new to study or seasoned, this is one of those must-have study titles for your library. Mears systematically walks through the Scriptures, giving a history of the times covered in the writings, spiritual insights and interpretations into the text, and application for everyday living. Her easy writing manner and style lend an exquisite charm and engages the reader to have interaction with the scriptures being dissected and discussed.

Not sure you should sit 'under' the teachings of a woman? Think again and join the ranks of Billy Graham, Bill Bright and Richard Halverson, who count among those whom she mentored, trained and tutored on the Word.

Can't recommend this one highly enough. Be blessed.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Book!!, March 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: What the Bible Is All About (Paperback)

This book was obviously written by someone who LOVES the scriptures and has been wonderfully blessed with the gift of conveying simple truths that we too often obfuscate. I have been teaching through the Minor Prophets in my Women's Bible study and have found this book of tremendous assistance. Do you desire to know what the Bible is all about? Then *this* is the book for you!

Grace and Peace . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, October 1, 2001

By	Mariah (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What the Bible Is All About (Paperback)

This book has tremediously helped me understand God's word. I recommend this book for new Christians and to anyone who reads the Bible but, just can not grasp what it is trying to say.
