4-0 out of 5 stars Good Humor is truly God-given
And there's plenty of it to be found in Higg's work. This book is truly unique in several ways, one being that it's practically an anthology as well as a guidebook. Also, Higgs blessedly does NOT paint unrealistically good-girl pictures of what we should be like; her brutally honest recounting of her past is part of this. I found her transformation of old stories into new absolutely brilliant and insightful and her humor and bluntness often hilarious. Inspite of her occasional gushing of Christ (can you blame her?) and her extremely affectionate terms of endearment for the reader, Higgs never came across to me as condescending or fake. In fact, she's more real than certain people I've actually met. Some female Christian authors give the impression of being either the dance-through-daisies type or the whip-in-hand type that you can't at all relate to, but Higgs is wonderfully flesh and blood as well as Godly, which not everyone can accomplish! One feminist claimed that Higgs believes in women being submissive to men, but let's give her a little more credit here! While she does make a comment about wives submitting to their husbands, she only does this once and never says that women should be submissive in general. If there's one thing Higgs is not, it's a doormat. I did take away one star because I felt like she occasionally (in both her Bad Girl books) connected personal beliefs with Christian ones a little too much(I do not agree that nudity is inherently sinful or that morning-after pills are nasty), but we all do that to a certain point and Higgs still for the most part manages to steer clear of preachiness. If you'd like a down-to-earth and entertaining Christian guide, I highly recommend both "Bad Girl" books as well as "Mad Mary" (read the latter with a bunch of tissues, though). Higgs is truly in a class by herself :) God Bless you, Liz!

5-0 out of 5 stars The most relevant book I've ever read
I bought this book more than a year before I read it. It sat on my shelf gathering dust until I finally found the courage to actually read it. Once I started, I couldn't stop. I read it for two days straight, grabbing it every chance I could.
5-0 out of 5 stars Witty, fun, real and relevant
We have a small group of women meeting once a week and reading this book. I love the way Liz starts each chapter by retelling the story of the woman the way it may look if it was happening today and gives us a new insight into that life. She then goes step by step through the Bible verses and does a study on them - showing insights and ways that it relates to us today. The questions at the end of the chapter are good as well and the whole diverse group of us is learning... There are different types of women in the Bible and each of us relates to at least one of them! I like the catagories: Bad to the bone, Bad for a season and Bad for a moment. Witty, fun, real and relevant to me today. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking - it will enhance your Bible reading
This is the best book I have encountered on the subject of biblical interpretation for the casual or semi-casual reader. It tackles a lot of difficult and potentially controversial subjects in a way that is comprehensible to almost any English speaker with a desire to learn.
5-0 out of 5 stars Worthy Study
This is a no-nonsense, conservative approach to interpreting the Bible, focusing on what the Bible meant to the ancient audience as a springboard to what it means now.We have a tendency, at least I do, to do hermeneutics (what the Bible means to us) prior to exegesis (what the Bible meant originally). This book makes it clear that we are being copied on ancient literature, and that we have to be sure of what we are reading.Also, some of it is not even meant for direct application, like the book of Acts; even though many first time events took place then, it is not meant to be normative for the church of all time.In a word, the book appeals to a much less self-absorbed approach to studying the Bible.
5-0 out of 5 stars Exceptionally Helpful
An older revision of this was one of my Bible College textbooks in the early 1980's.It's way better now...and it was very good then.For example, Fee gives clear minded, thoughtful approaches to every type of literature (genre) in the bible.

5-0 out of 5 stars A good Catholic Study Bible just got better!
If Oxford University Press had done nothing but reset the first edition (1970) in a more readable typeface, the second edition would have been well worth its purchase price. They did this, and more.
3-0 out of 5 stars Disapointed
This Bible is not a Leather version, just hardcover and no dust jacket either.It is tabbed which is great, but words of Jesus are not in red.Entire text is in black, commentary and actual Scriptures are in black, just different font size.Difficult to read. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend!!
I cannot say enough about this book and the impact it has had on me as a daughter of our Heavenly Father. I felt it was a bit depressing in the beginning, and found some of the personal accounts almost hard to believe, but once I got past those, it was a big "aha!" I have never felt comfortable around women, don't trust them. This book has helped me to see women the way God sees women. I long for every Christian woman to read this--it is life-altering! Now that I have a daughter, it is even more important for me to pass on to her how God cherishes her. And I value her the way God values us as women. Knowing that I didn't want a daughter, my friend told me that having a daughter will help me to see how God sees me. I've never forgotten that, and reading this has given me hope for resolution with my mother. And hope for a better relationship with my daughter.
5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent theology -- gets to the heart of all things
Excellent book!Gets to the heart of a woman's heart and to her relationship with men, with other women, and with God.Very empowering.Very healing. This book exalts God and helps us to understand who we really are and are meant to be.As a Christian egalitarian, I found the book empowering for both my husband and I and a resource for discovering greater strengthening and intimacy in our Christ-centered covenant of marriage.

5-0 out of 5 stars Captivating is Captivating
I couldn't disagree more with one of the previous reviewers.I think this book is very insightful.It helps a woman to understand just how much God loves her and to realize that her life isn't ONLY about service to others.What I'm learning is more about how much He wants me to heal and to wake up to His unconditional Love - to be alive in Him and in my relationship with Him - to learn to TRULY trust Him as my Lord and Savior and Lover of my soul.If I learn more about His Love for me, and I learn to better love Him, I will better follow Him. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the Best Study Bible
I really love my Max Lucado Inspirational NKJV Study Bible. It's a wonderful study bible with many sidebars of life lessons of Lucado's teaching guides. This the only one I use because it helps me to have a better understanding of the Scriptures. Each Book of the Old and New Testaments are laid out in an instruction manual style. All chapters are boldly titled to explain the situation for each one. The Life Lessons examines more closely the situation, makes observations, gives inspiration, makes application and gives further explorations of other scriptures throughout the Bible. It's chalkful of footnotes of many reliable references. Throughout this study gem are more inspirational ancedotes from Grace, Forgiveness, Suffering and Victory to God's Love, Hope, Prayer and Faith. And many more worthwhile inspirations that will bless your life. Even more, it has one hundred greatest thoughts, an index to selected readings, a dictionary with topical concordance, acknowledgments from many great references from the most notable names in Christianity. There's even a place in the back to add your own notes. I'm sure this is the only study bible you'll ever use. I find it to be the most comprehensive, enriching masterpiece of the Holy Bible yet. I would definitely give this as a nice gift.

5-0 out of 5 stars Inspirational Study Bible
I found this to be an excellent study tool. Max Lucado does not give a commentary on the verses. Instead he gives a life application lesson with the scriptures and a devotional thought. XCELLENT!!!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars The Inspirational Study Bible, the very best ever
I love the Inspirational Study Bible, mine is NKJV. It has truly opened the word up to me as never before. I love reading and studying from it. It helps me understand a lot more of what was going on at the times the books were written. Mostly it helps me apply the Word to my own life. It has spoiled me, I have hunted several times for it in leather bound, I sure wish they would make it. I would get 1 for every member of my family. Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Calm Your Anxious Heart
This is one of the best books I have ever read on knowing God better and who He is to me.Great helps to improve my life and to help rid my life of most stress.Of course we always will have some but how we handle it can make it much easier.Our book group all love it and some have read way ahead.Its one of the best books we have done second only to "Bad Girls of the Bible" that and Real Bad Girls of the Bible were also awesome.
5-0 out of 5 stars Life changing
This book was an answer to pray. It has helped me live my faith and have peace within. I loved the book so much I have bought 10 additional copies to give friends that are all going through rough times in their lives also. Most all of the people I have given the book to think the book is a wonderful help.We are thinking about using it in one of our ladies Bible classes.

5-0 out of 5 stars Encouraging and Inspiring
There are currently 12 ladies enrolled ina bible study using Linda Dillows' book as a guide. It skillfully delves into the most sensitive and painful issues of the heart, each time pointing the reader to God's Word. There are amusing and inspiring anecdotes to which many women can relate. We are "pricked to the heart", convicted, instructed, exhorted, and encouraged. Our group highly recommends "Calm My Anxious Heart". Thank you, Linda. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars Catholics Beware
After having spent several weeks last year reading Macarthur's Twelve Ordinary Men with a study group, we all looked forward to this follow-up book. Too bad we didn't leave well enough alone. First of all, this book is extremely degrading to women. Do not read this book unless you are either a man with Archie Bunker-like views on women or you are a woman who enjoys Archie Bunker-like men.Secondly, this book lacks a sense of serious scholarship. It is all Macarthur's opinions, presented to the reader as fact.I found it arrogant and offensive.The entire book group hated this book. Also, do not read this book if you are Catholic.The chapter on Mary is loaded with anti-Catholic sentiment.He uses the example of the grilled cheese sandwich with an image of Mary being sold on the internet to insinuate that Catholics are superstitious idiots. He has the audacity to insult John Paul II, and calls the devotion to Mary "a cult." I found his lack of scholarship particuliarly irritating.For example he says "It is almost certain that in the process of writing his gospel, Luke sought details about Jesus' birth and life from Mary."Wow. It is almost certain?...Much better choices in this category would be "Sarah Laughed" by Vanessa Ochs and "The Women Who Danced by the Sea" by Marsha Mirken.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent tool for Christian women
Twelve Extraordinary Women by John MacArthur is a strongly written book detailing the lives and legacies of twelve women of the Bible.I read this book as part of my nightly devotional time, and I truly enjoyed the time with the book.Each woman presented (from Eve to Lydia) is a powerful example of how God works in our lives and what he can do with us.While Abraham's patience is a given, I had never considered how patient Sarah had to be, waiting for twenty years for her promised son.Hannah is the model of the perfect mother, waiting for a son and loving her husband.MacArthur discusses in several sections the poisonous effects of polygamy on relationships as well.He doesn't hide his opinion of the Catholic worship of Mary, mother of Jesus, either.But his personal thoughts are always given with love and a great deal of attention to history.I learned an enormous amount from this book that I will take with me day to day from waiting on the Lord to being a better mother and wife, this book is an excellent tool for Christian women (and men!).

4-0 out of 5 stars Twelve Extraordinary Women
This is a fascinating account of the lives of some of the more prominent women in Scripture. Unfolding the verses that tell their stories, MacArthur does a phenomenal job illuminating what is most interesting and inspiring about these women. The twelve he chose include: Eve, Sarah, Rahab, Ruth, Hannah, Mary (the mother of Jesus), Anna, the Samaritan woman, Martha and Mary (sisters of Lazarus), Mary Magdalene, and Lydia. I used to think that back in Bible times women were degraded and reduced to a lower status than men. But MacArthur explains well that Scripture never puts women on a secondary level, discounts their importance or gifts, but speaks of them in honor and commends the faithfulness of them who follow the Lord.

5-0 out of 5 stars INSPIRING & ENLIGHTENING !!
Growing up in Christianity I always knew that the teachings of Jesus Christ were more than just the stock answers that were given to questions asked.Paramahansa Yogananda, a God -realized soul, interprets the teachings of Jesus in a way that is understandable to the layperson and resonates with truth, as only one who has reached that oneness with God's consciousness could explain and as Jesus intended it to be.
5-0 out of 5 stars It Brought Me Back to God
As a "Recovering Catholic," I have had a hard time with Christianity for the past decade-plus. As a Yogi, I found something lacking in homogenized Yogic Philosophy.
5-0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for any True Devotee of God!
This book is one of three work Yogananda produced during his life that can be truly concidered his "masterworks." The other two are "God Talks with Arjuna" his two volume commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, and "Autobiography of a Yogi" his autobiography. All three of these amazing books should be on the shelf of every devotee of God no matter what tradition/religion/etc they follow, and should be read at least once from cover to cover in a lifetime. ...

IT is the best book on how to study the bible.I wish I had started with this book before I finished 96 hours in Bible courses.It would have helped me in all my other courses.It is the best system I have ever run across.

5-0 out of 5 stars Kay's study methods explained
This book is well organized and explain's Kay's Inductive Method very clearly. It is easy to read but does require practice to become second nature. Her methods make Bible passages come alive with the background and context as well as the message and underlying application in our daily lives.

I just completed reading this book and I can't get enough!If you are ready to roll up your sleves and study the truth of God's Word this is for you.It gives you pratical and sound skills for digging deep into the vast riches of God's word. I have studied for years but this is a systematic approach to Bible study and it allows you to first search out the scriptures for themsselves and then refer to other resources such as comentaries and word study guides as a source of enrichment rather than a foundation to you understanding and interpretation. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars Why How to Read the Bible Book by Book is a must for students of the Bible
I believe that How to Read the Bible Book by Book is a must read for students of the Bible because it guides you through the Bible in simple and kind manner. It will make you want to read the Bible in a fresh and new way. I have been studying the Bible formally for over forty years now and I beleive that any book that will help enhance ones study of the Bible is a must read.
5-0 out of 5 stars Good Biblical Introduction
Dr. Fee's presentation of the biblical material is clear, concise, and up to date.He takes the fruits of biblical scholarship and makes them available to the average lay reader, while not losing sight of what the original authors of the material intended.A strong point of the book is the fact that it situates each of the biblical books and the material they contain within the historical horizon of Israels encounter with God and the World.
5-0 out of 5 stars Thanks for your labors, Dr. Fee.
This book is very helpful for gaining a good sense of the context and flow and themes of each book. It will help the average Christian, like me, interpret individual texts within the larger text of which the individual texts are part. After reading Dr. Fee's (and Stuart's) book, one will more confidently apprehend individual passages without tearing them out of their contexts--as, alas(!), all too frequently happens. Buy this book and its compainion volume, "How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth." The only problem with the two books is the lack of an orthodox position on biblical manhood and womanhood. To clear up that issue, get the book edited by Piper and Grudem, "Biblical Manhood and Womanhood," and get anything by Doug Wilson on men and women and marriage. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The Chef Scores Again!
I'm prejudiced for Eugene Peterson whose The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language is the most stimulating and refreshing version of Scripture out there today.
5-0 out of 5 stars Invites a broader perspective on Biblical study than those which advocate using the Bible for self-serving purposes
The way we read the Bible as nearly as important as that it's read: that's professor Eugene Peterson's message in EAT THIS BOOK: A CONVERSATION IN THE ART OF SPIRITUAL READING. His is more than a set of reflections: it's the second in a five-volume work on spiritual theology and maintains the Scriptures should be read - and lived - as God's word. From the nature of language and the practice of scripture translations to an account of his own popular Bible translation THE MESSAGE, EAT THIS BOOK invites a broader perspective on Biblical study than those which advocate using the Bible for self-serving purposes.
3-0 out of 5 stars A Mix of Good and Bad
Eugene Peterson believes that the way we read the Bible is as important as the very fact that we read the Bible. "Do we read the Bible for information about God and salvation, for principles and 'truths' that we can use to live better? Or do we read it in order to listen to God and respond in prayer and obedience?" To address these questions, Peterson brings us Eat This Book: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Reading. It is a rather strange and wandering book in which Peterson meanders through a wide variety of topics having to do with the theme of Scripture. At heart, though, the book is an attempt to convince the reader of the importance of reading Scripture in order to promote life change. Peterson feels this is best done through the ancient practice of lectio divina. In many respects, then, this book is a beginner's guide to that practice.

Editorial Review

An old adage says, "God created man in His own image and man has been returning the favor ever since." Philip Yancey realized that despite a lifetime attending Sunday school topped off by a Bible college education, he really had no idea who Jesus was. In fact, he found himself further and further removed from the person of Jesus, distracted instead by flannel-graph figures and intellectual inspection. He determined to use his journalistic talents to approach Jesus, in the context of time, within the framework of history.Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars News Flash -- Jesus was Jewish
Yancey strikes again.This time he presents a very down-to-earth portrait of Jesus that forces the faithful to think more about Jesus' humanity than we are often comfortable with.Jesus was after all a real person who lived in a real world -- a Jewish world.I love it when Yancey makes me think about things I don't really want to -- but need to.
5-0 out of 5 stars A Must Read
A must read for all of us who have ever wondered about the meaning of Jesus' ministry, why He said what He said and did what He did.Written in easy to understand text this book is well researched.The author shares with us many of his early doubts about Jesus - doubts that most of us can relate to.This book goes a long way in erasing those doubts and puts the ministry of Jesus into a much clearer focus.

5-0 out of 5 stars Who is Jesus?
On the cover of my book is a banner that says, "Voted Best Book of the Year!" Now that ten years have passed since the original publication, perhaps it is time to proclaim, "Best Book of the Decade!"

5-0 out of 5 stars The Heart of My Bible Studies for 15 Years
I have had 12 DYNAMIC METHODS OF BIBLE STUDY which I received from Billy Graham's ministry in 1990. I assume this book is a revision of the other. My RYRIE STUDY BIBLE and this book are the heart and soul of my personal Bible study since I am a layman who was brought up in the Catholic church. I felt led by God to see that the Book Survey Method, the Chapter Study Method and the Book Synthesis method all taken together formed a complete blueprint for studying a complete book of the Bible. My best study was the 3600 page study that I did on the Book of Ezekiel. When I got bored with the book studies, I looked up the topical study method. So, I have 25 of these book and topical studies since 1990.

4-0 out of 5 stars Nice to have
Actually, unless you are protestant, you should have this book. Catholics (me being one) and eastern orthodocs know more of the catechism than of the Bible.
5-0 out of 5 stars Holy Reference
This is an excellent, non-judgemental statement of "Just the facts, Ma'am."It quickly and clearly tells you what is in each book and puts it into a perspective when required.It does not interpret or preach and does not pretend to substitute for reading the Bible, but rather gives a clear guide.Its explanation of the differences between the Jewish, Catholic and Protestant Bibles is particularly helpful.In an attempt to be light, it can be a bit precious at times, but this is a minor distraction to an otherwise excellent read.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Bible for Dummies
This book was terrific.Its also a good reference book if you forget something and want to look it up real quick.This book starts at the beginning and explains the timeline which I found very helpful. It explains the main characters and what they did and how it was important.I recommend this book to anyone who really has no idea where to begin with the bible and wants a basic understanding of its story. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars 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!
5-0 out of 5 stars Bible Study workbook
This book is one of the most comprehensive bible study books.You will learn a lot and the format facilitates your memorization of scripture.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent in-depth Biblical study guide
I used this workbook about five years ago when I undertook a comprehensive study of the Bible on my own - from Genesis through Revelations.This study guide along with my Life Applications Bible was an excellent resource; I accomplished that important goal.I am now using a second copy to start again and am looking forward to another meaningful journey. ...

1-0 out of 5 stars Poor quality and small bible for the price
I was eager to receive this bible because the reviews were favorable.I am very dissapointed in this product.I purchased the leather indexed edition which has no margins for notes, is very small (aprox. 9 x 6) and looks more like a thin-line bible then a bible which costs over $50.00.I have many bibles and this is the worst quality by far.Very dissapointed with Zondervan.

5-0 out of 5 stars Tell the critics to ease up!
This is not a commentary. It is not a lexicon. It is not a dictionary. It is a bible translating two very precise languages into English. I am a pastor and have almost all translations at my disposal. This is the one I teach from along with a KJV. I would not be with out it. Leave the tainted helps behind. Those who have ears to hear..........

5-0 out of 5 stars A "must" for study
I have "worn out" two copies of the Amplified and am now ordering a 3rd copy.I study from a variety of Bible translations (NASV, NIV, Phillips, Message, others) but wouldn't be without an Amplified for more complete view of word choices from original language. ... Read more
