4-0 out of 5 stars "Written to make you think and consider why we speak to God"
One cannot help appreciating the seriousness with which the authors address our need to pray. The material presented is not so much new material (it's prayer, you know) as it is material arranged in a manner to make you THINK.

5-0 out of 5 stars One year Bible Companion
The companion was recommended to me by Amazon.com because I was ordering the One Year bible in Chronological order.I trusted Amazon and ordered the book.It is not a companion to it... it goes along with the one year bible which has a reading for old testament, new testament, psalms and proverb everyday.So each day the questions and answers in the companion were not about what I was reading.I gave it away.I told a friend of mine to buy the One Year Chronological bible from Amazon and he fell for the same thing... the companion.
5-0 out of 5 stars Daily Bible Reading Just Got Better
The One Year Bible Companion/Questions and Answers is one of the few "helps" that I have found that actually helps!It takes the daily readings, helps analyze them, stirs interest in the meaning and application of the passages, and provides insights not found anywhere else.This year's reading has been my most enjoyable and productive.I vote YES on the "Companion."

5-0 out of 5 stars Makes reading the Bible do-able
I'm a new Christian and I got this book to help me read the Bible in an organized fashion. I've been contemplating buying a One Year Bible but Ididn't want to buy another Bible and this seemed like a good compromise.Before I got this I was becoming overwhelmed by the amount of reading I was doing but this book simplied everything.And it has helpful little notes to explain the more confusing passages.I'm reading less everyday but getting more out of it thanks to this book. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Solid material in a fun format
I am a Christian Education Director and have been looking forsome solid material for older youth 5th-8th grade. This book illustrates each book in the Bible within a couple of pages with black and white line drawing charactures. It may sound young, but even my adult committee wanted copies for themselves. I am putting together an entire curriculum using this book for the youth, over a four year period (two years OT & two years NT), along with "What The Bible Is All About Handbook:NIV Edition" for the teachers to get familiar with the Bible in about ten pages per book and the "What The Bible Is All About 101, 102, 201, 202", which are leader guides to teach.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great resource, teaching tool & reference
This is one of those books where the kids version is better than the adults version! It breaks down the Bible, into sections and sub-sections. For example, it introduces the 1st 5 books of the Old Testament as the Books of the Law, explains why they are called that, the main points, the main people, an outline of what happens in each chapter- and then it goes a wonderful step further, and links in known historical information, a map of 'Where It All Happened', and other pertinent information about the world at that time.The same format is followed for each Book of the Bible. Within each book there are small illustrations & summaries of the main events in each chapter, which are surprisingly well done- not off-putting to an adult, very accessible to a child. The reference materials at the end- a good dictionary of words that one doesn't often see outside of the Bible!, Bible geography, good time lines of the Old & New Testaments, and an amazing 16 pages of good color pictures tucked away at the end make this book a must!5-0 out of 5 stars THE BEST!

5-0 out of 5 stars Good
I think this book was really good.However, I think the apolegetics could've been done a little better.They mostly deal with some of the hard verses in the bible.Not a bad job.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great stuff!
This book offers a great scholarly look at some of the sayings that seem difficult to us who live in the 21st century -- far removed from the cultural setting and lingo in which the Bible was written.The work is pretty thick consisting of several hundred pages.I like this though, because (usually) more thickness means more substance, and fortunately I do indeed find it to be the case here.The book is also good because it addresses considerations from opposing camps that the authors do not necessarily agree with. Thus there is a sense of objectivity.
5-0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST BIBLE REFERENCES OUT THERE!

This has been a good introductory book.The language is somewhat simplistic but other than that it is a fine book.His chapter on definitions in some ways adds to the confusion that is the current state of hermeneutics.

5-0 out of 5 stars Good Bible For Complete Reading
I had read the entire Bible three times using the One Year Bible. I got bored with my Bible studies for awhile and so I did these daily 15-30 minute readings to keep myself spritually nourished. I have also listened to the NIV Bible on Casette from cover to cover five times one year because I had read a book by Phiilip Yancey that had advocated trying to read the entire Bible to gain an insight into your problems. I alternated versions in my daily reading from year to year-NIV and NLT.
5-0 out of 5 stars One Year Living Bible
I've been reading the One Year Living Bible for several years. I love it and enjoy the easy reading of the Living Translation. Reading a passage from the Old and New Testament, as well as Psalms and Proverbs helps me to see the unity of God's Word. I couldn't get along without my daily dose of God's precious Word. Try it, you'll love it!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Easy to read
I loved this format on this particular book. The days were easy to ready and understand and they matched the Old Testament to the New Testament. There were several days that I got wrapped up in the readings that I contunied going. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has tried to read the bible in a year or even sit and try to read it straight through and failed. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars O.T.Excerpts &Studies
I found this book; "The Bible Jesus Read" by Philip Yancey to be an enlightening & insightful interpretative study of the books of Job, Deuteronomy, Prophets, Ecclesiastes & Psalms.Yancy gives history & meaning to make these O.T.favorites relevant and deeply profound. I found it gave me a renewed interest in the O.T. and an instantaneous connection; meaningful for anyone desiring to enrich their New & O. T. studies. It is abundant in the many messages that we yearn for. I'm so glad one of our participants suggested this book.

2-0 out of 5 stars How Do You Tell A False Teacher?
A true Christian teacher teaches the principles of the Holy Bible -- both the good and the bad.False teachers teach only what people want to hear.Yancey is like a false teacher.He doesn't want to teach anything that makes people uncomfortable -- such as the Holy God of the Bible ordered King Saul to annihilate all the Amalekits -- women, children, disabled included!This is our God!The God of the Bible we worship.If anyone has problem with the genocidal God of the Bible whom we worship as our God, then he can go to Hell.He will go to Hell because he doesn't believe in the God of the Bible who ordered King Saul to kill women, children, and the disabled.

1-0 out of 5 stars Inaccurate
Yancey's problem is that he follows fads.It's like in the movie, Good Will Hunting.Most of the people studying an issue will follow the latest fad.That's what Yancey does.The title, "The Bible That Jesus Read", insults Jesus Christ, who is God -- the Second Person in the Holy Trinity.The Old Testament and the New Testament clearly teach the Holy Trinity.Gospel of John chpater 1 shows all Three Persons of the Holy Triity operating.It is because people like Yancey has taken the helm of Christianity -- he is the editor of Christianity Today -- that America's Christianity is in grave trouble.Ordaining homosexuals?What do you think about that Yancey?Is that a part of the "Bible that Jesus Read"?Ridiculous!! ...

2-0 out of 5 stars How to read the Bible using a
I am a member of Christians for Biblical Equality and my preferred term for myself is Biblical Egalitarian.As Wayne Grade chooses to use the term "Evangelical Feminist" to describe my beliefs while I do not, I can with similar justification claim that I see him as a member of Christians for Biblical Patriarchy; for that is exactly what he sees the Bible teaching, male rulership (which is what patriarchy literally means) in home and church, what he calls 2 point complementarians (apparently as patriarchy has negative connotations and so resorts to euphemism to make his ideas more appealing).
5-0 out of 5 stars Thor, the God of Thunder
When it comes to argumentation, this moniker was the first thing that came to mind. (Sorry to all the less playful theologians out there). Dr Grudem has handled a tremendously controversial issue with argumentative thunder. Coming away from this very thorough treatment, it is difficult to understand how anyone can persist in his or her egalitarian beliefs. As Dr Grudem helps us to understand, perhaps the only way people can persist in them is that they have decided beforehand to be loyal to an egalitarian agenda, regardless of logical and Scriptural argumentation.
5-0 out of 5 stars Outstanding and much needed
I hope every Evangelical in America reads this book.It is outstanding and much needed in this culture of politically correct Feminism.Wayne Grudem has done a masterful job.

5-0 out of 5 stars Deals with many relationships
This book, with the main focus being on friendships of women and why women need women, also points out why women need men (and visa-versa), and examines our family relationships (your first friend is your mom.)This book definately makes you think about the present, and causes you to reflect and reminisce on the past.The author gives new life to women of the Bible, and brings their personal lives and relationships into focus.
1-0 out of 5 stars Book Buys into Stereotypes
My church women's group chose this book. Many of us were quite discouraged by the views expressed by this book.She speaks in generalities a lot and seems to buy into many of the common beliefs about gender:Women are catty, men are reserved etc... Sociologist have debunked many of those myths.We found her views outdated.Some men can be catty too. Some men do develop close friendships with other men.She assumes that males and females can be categorized into these easily defined groupings.Experience and research suggest otherwise.5-0 out of 5 stars A God Sent Book
This book shares the insights of friendships between women.It is centered around friendships in the Bible and uses those friendships as examples.I've learned how to nurture the friendships God has sent my way, to be on the look out for new friendships to come my way and that God has given not only me, but every women, a unique gift of intimacy.It has opened my eyes that this gift of intimacy should be shared.Men are not left out either.This book explains the differences between the bonds of males and females also.It points out and explains how different needs are met, by different people, and by different sexes.It's a wonderful book that will help you grow in God, learn about yourself, learn about relationships, learn about how men feel and react.And if you are a man trying to figure women out - this book is for you too. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars The only way to read the Bible on a daily basis.
...I will never forget the first time I read the Bible through in chronological order. It was such an eye-opening experience that I have to say it literally changed my life and the way I think and meditate on scripture. What happens to a believer when they do this is hard to express. But suddenly all those seemingly obscure prophetic passages begin to take on new meaning as you realize when this prophet actually lived and what was going on around him when he prophesied. So, I have always told my children to read the Bible through in chronological order. You can study what you want as you go, but read it daily in chronological order. Make that daily deposit in your heart and let His Word grow.
5-0 out of 5 stars Bible Study
An interesting an informative way to read the Bible through in one year.The chronological Bible arranges the story as it happens instead of the traditional order of the books.

4-0 out of 5 stars The title snared me; the book thrilled me.
I was browsing in B&N when the title of this book caught my eye.I had never heard of it or the author, but I had to buy it, and I had to read it.It was thought-provoking, humorous and candid.I was born and raised a Southern Baptist; still am.But, I've grown weary over the fundamentalism and creedism of the leadership in the SBC.This book should be a "must read" for discussion groups pouring over why church and some Christians are more impediments to faith in Christ than evangelists spreading the good news.
4-0 out of 5 stars Compelling and Timely
Religiously Transmitted Diseases is a compelling look at some of the doctrines, both spoken and unspoken, that threaten to distract believers from the purity of the gospel message.This is an important book, and not for the squeamish of faith.

In "The Historical Jesus" John Dominic Crossan attempts to de-mythologize the New Testament in order to recover the Jesus of history (as opposed to the Jesus of faith).Unfortunately, his methodology and presuppositions end up creating a layer of mythology, not dissolving the one he thinks is there.He relies heavily on the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Peter, and the Epistle of Barnabas as containing the oldest traditions.However, the Gospels of Thomas and Peter are mid-late 2nd century documents, the second of which is an admitted forgery, and Barnabas, though probably from the 1st century, is also widely acknowledged as a forgery.A look at the early church fathers reveal as much.Crossan also relies on a completely fictional document he concocted called the "Cross Gospel," which he says is embedded in the Gospel of Peter.These documents were used by Mark to construct his Gospel, which was then used by the other three Gospel writers.

Great book.Author is sensitive to likely human need for faith and belonging, while remaining fearless and faithful to the task of asking difficult questions.Breadth and application of sources is exceptional.Not for those seeking easy comfort.

3-0 out of 5 stars Programatically Retrojecting Postressurrectional Manifestations
When I read a book that I don't understand, I try to determine if it's the author's fault or my ignorance and mental deficiencies.In the case of "The Historical Jesus" it's mostly the author's fault.

5-0 out of 5 stars John in a very dense nutshell
A detailed look at John, placing the gospel in the context of early Christianity and an evolving theology. When appropriate, contrasts John with the synoptic gospels and Paul.For its size, and particularly in comparison with many other commentaries, probably the best available.
