Featured Book

This is my newest, and best, get rich quick plan. Every so often I plan on featuring a book that I have enjoyed, recommending it to you, and hopefully, you will buy it at my recommendation! If not, I hope that you can enjoy and learn from the books that I myself enjoy and learn from!

The Believer's Bible Commentary by William McDonald is a concise, conservative, and practical handbook on the Word of God that concerns itself with what the text is teaching, the practical application of it, and its proper place in Scripture. The author himself said that "the purpose of the Believer's Bible Commentary is to give the average Christian reader a basic knowledge of what the Holy Bible is all about." And I would say that he admirably accomplishes that purpose.

This volume is not a critical commentary, and it does not delve into theological issues at great length. However, it does not avoid theological issues or sidestep controversial passages. Rather, it treats them fairly, and seeks to answer the issue within the context of the verse and the greater context of Scripture. Again, I think it does an excellent job of this, understanding that its primary purpose is to give a basic knowledge of the Bible.

All said and done, I feel that this volume would be a great asset to the bookshelf of any serious, or casual, student of God's Word. For the casual student, it gives good insight, solid, practical theology, and a foundational understanding. For the more serious student, it compliments more in-depth study by giving a much needed practical emphasis to Scripture, without being overly devotional.
