“Jeremiah had invested forty years in warning his people of coming judgment. Both he and his message had been rejected” (Page 117)

“when the predicted calamities fell on the disbelieving people, Jeremiah responded with sorrow and compassion.” (Page 117)

“The Bible is the story of God’s redeeming His chosen people for His glory.” (Page xii)

“The Proverbs of Solomon contains a collection of 513 of the king’s sayings.” (Page 91)

“First, the writing had to have a recognized prophet or apostle as its author (or one associated with them, as in the case of Mark, Luke, Hebrews, James, and Jude). Second, the writing could not disagree with or contradict previous Scripture. Third, the writing had to have general consensus by the church as an inspired book.” (Page xviii)

    If you already have MacArthur's Handbook you don't need this, the Handbook has all the same information that's in here (verbatim) plus more. This is like a skeleton of the Handbook.

    I think this book was very clear and concise which is exactly what I was looking for. It is a great resource if you would like to get a basic snapshot of each book of the Bible prior to reading it. I also really enjoy how it points out Christ and the references to Christ in each book as well. Its different than a bible handbook in the amount of detailed information given, but if you are looking for a nice bible study companion, I really use this resource for that. (Plus the price isn't too bad either).
