A great book to havt

A wonderful book to read. I feel bless having it in my collections

Excellant book .

So enjoyable to read and understand the real meaning of the stories in the bible.

Patriarchs and Prophets

A must read for anyone interested in ancient biblical history. First in a series of 5. I finished this book and couldn't wait to read the others. Very detailed information and facts. You'll be much more knowledgeable on the early beginnings of the worlds history once you've read this book.

A Great Book

Have you ever wondered why God just didn't destroy Lucifer, thus preventing him from causing chaos and havoc in this world? Why did God permit him to live and why does He continue to permit him to live? The first chapter of this book explains the reason why. This book makes the Old Testament of the Bible come alive and goes right along with the Bible. I especially enjoyed readiing about Joseph. If you want to enrich your knowledge of the stories of the Old Testament, this is a good book to read.

A Great Guide to Understanding the Bible

This is a fantastic book for several reasons: First, as it expounds on the experiences of the patriarchs and prophets, the reader can see clearly the reasons why God acted in the ways that He did. This removes a great deal of the arbitrariness that sometimes seems to accompany the actions of God in the Bible.Second, it often relates different stories in the Bible which serves to reiterate the principle being illustrated. Here the foundation is laid for a greater, broader understanding of all the Bible, because it teaches the reader how to study it.Third, it is composed of many short chapters, which makes it great as a devotional aid. This makes contemplation and application easier within the short time available to the busy reader.If you like this book, you will also like the others in the series: "Prophets and Kings," the Desire of Ages," "The Acts of the Apostles," and especially "The Great Controversy," which covers modern times.

Tremendous insights into Biblical history.

This book is the first of a set of five books designed to be read as a companion reader to the Bible. Each chapter lists the corresponding Biblical passages. The remaining four books in the series are Prophets and Kings; Desire of Ages; Acts of the Apostles; The Great Controversy. The author is very readable and shows great insight and sensitivity to the whole plan of God in rescuing mankind from sin and restoring them to His original plan for the human race. This book begins with the entrance of sin inn heaven prior to the creation of the earth and covers the dealings of God with His earthly creation down throu the ages, and includes the fall of man, the flood of Noah, the exodus of Moses, the batles of king David, and end with Davids last years, including his fall into sin with Bathsheba and his restoration to favor with God
