This book is amazing. It's clearly organized and written. They really open up the Bible to a layperson like me. I'd recommend it for any person who wants to grow in their understanding of the Bible and of God. I'd say it's a "must read" for any adult Sunday School teacher or person that wants to sharpen their skills of interpretation. It is guide for understanding both the Old and New Testaments from two learned teachers. It refers one to additional resources that are also helpful. This book is a great investment!
