Learning your Jewish roots!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I'm a big Kay Arthur fan and love her studies. I've read parts of the first five books of the Bible, but when I saw this book I knew I had to have it. It took me about a year to complete this study, but by the time I finished I had developed such a tremendous respect for our Jewish roots. I think every Christian should be familiar with these five books. And through the use of this book, I feel like I've come to understand so much more about Jesus and His teachings.
Excellent study guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I'm learning a whole lot from this study guide. Having the matching Bible helps, as does some familiarity with Kay Arthur's method, but she guides you through it in the text. There's lots of questions and keywords to help me focus and engage with the text more fully. Study helps and resources are also good, though only after you've read the text for yourself first. However, it's rather easy to read a passage too narrowly and miss all kinds of meaning, and the study guide doesn't really give me a lot to help prevent this. My only complaint is that I don't agree with some of her doctrine, and she sometimes uses leading questions to imply that what she believes is what the Bible teaches. But since the idea is to "discover for yourself," it's easy enough to disagree with her. Overall, a really good Bible study, though not for people unfamiliar with the Bible.
A Wonderful Starting Place
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I have been a fan of Kay Arthur's ever since I first began studying my Bible. Her International Inductive Study series is very good for someone who wants to get to know God's Word better. Kay's study of the Penteteuch is a wonderful starting place for those who are not familiar with the Torah: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Although the lessons take longer than the fifteen minutes it claims on the back, they are good tools for helping you observe what the text is saying. Even if these books are familiar to you, Kay helps open up God's word to you in a new way!If you desire to seriously study these biblical books in great detail, then you would probably find her Precepts courses more helpful than this bible study. But all in all, a wonderful place to start your study of His Word.
A great way to study the first five books of the Bible
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I have been reading the Bible for many years now, but in a casual reading it is easy to miss so much of the detail and meaning of the stories that are being told. This book helped me slow down enough in my reading and to repeat my reading enough so that I understood what was going on in a much more profound way. It takes only 15-20 minutes a day and is a great way to do a quiet time.
