Training to Serve

Our church liked this book so much that we are going through it again. We had to purchase more of them. This book is very good in it training for service.

Training for Service Used With Adult Class

I was familiar with early editions of this book from my mother, who took the course for teacher training many, many years ago. When I began teaching a Sunday School class for adults in our Presbyterian church, I realized this would give the class a great beginning for understanding the Bible. That was about five years ago. We all worked hard memorizing the Bible organization and the books of the Bible as well as all the other well-organized studies. I am extremely pleased to say that the knowledge gained through this course has been the foundation of growth for several years. Last year, the class undertook reading through the Bible in a year; they challenge me, as the teacher, to keep on growing with the class. This class of adults has progressed from the stage of being barely interested in the scriptures to being the most knowledgable in the church. I credit this book for providing the basic tools for Bible study and for stimulating our interest in further study.

Training for Service

A great resource for Christians to develop a base of knowledge about the Bible and its importance to the world. Very thorough and instructive. I use it to teach our teenage class. I highly recommend it.

Getting to know the difference from the Old & New Testament

Our Bible School consists of Old, young adults and young people. This book is enjoyed by them and is good in relating, the understanding of the entire Bible. It separates the two yet correlates them. It also gives an overview of many of the book which is very helpful to the students.It is true to it's "Title Survey of the Bible"

Salient Studies for New Christians

This is a great starting tool to give new christians a framework upon which to build future bible studies. The author begins at the beginning, just as the bible does. The author adds value by providing the student with some history of how the bible came about. However, some doctinal issues (i.e., eschatology, dispensations and the like) must be challenged by the serious student. The author's basic outline does allow for a well-trained teacher to guide the student along the course of rightly dividing the Word of God and letting scripture interpret scripture, based on content, language and grammar,etc.
