Rating: - Disappointing
I was excited when I ordered this because I am very interesting in learning the Bible in more depth. Bible study groups are good, but they typically move at such a slow pace. I saw this as an alternative.
Unfortunately, it was not what I expected. It's nothing more than a workbook that tells you to read the bible passages then provides a few questions for discussion on each section. In short, this is a workbook to be used in study groups. I was looking for more of a self study workbook with summaries of the various books. The book is worthless unless you first read the suggested chapters in the bible. While I think everyone should read the Bible cover-to-cover, I don't want to do that as part of my Bible study. I would like to read passages to add clarity to the discussion in the workbook. As I said, the workbook doesn't provide such discussion, so the entire thing comes up empty. There are probably other study guides that are closer to what I am looking for. If you are looking for a study guide for your study group, this might be just the ticket, but it's disappointing otherwise.
Rating: - Opinion and Use of the book"Through The Bible in One Year"
I have used this book for years as one of the texts for a Ministers In Training class. I am pleased that it is yet available through Amazon.com.
Rating: - Outstanding teaching and learning book
I started this book for my own benefit and realized that it would make a great group bible study. Our bible study went from 4 ladies to 11 in one week. Friends shared with friends this book, and we are pleased with the ease of this book and the focus on Jesus through out the Old and New Testament. I would highly recommond this as a great one on one or group study. It's the skeleton of basic bible study!
Rating: - GREAT BOOK!
This book was very helpful for my Bible classes. It gives a great summary of every book.
Rating: - A WONDERFUL study of God's Word!
I studied this material when Dr Stringfellow was writing it. He was Associate Pastor at my church, First Baptist Van Nuys, CA. Our pastor, Dr Jess Moody invited Dr Stringfellow to share the material with the whole church, so Dr Moody arranged for our church to open a seminary, and Dr Stringfellow "tried out" the material on our church, in a class attended by those who were interested. The material was fascinating, and once Dr Stringellow had "ironed out the wrinkles", he published the book!
EXCELLENT material for those who take Bible study seriously. I was among those honored to call Dr Stringfellow "friend."
