This was the selection for our neighborhood Bible Study. It makes for an odd study, as it is a collection from 5 different authors, one little piece from earlier studies on five different OT people - Gideon, Nehemiah, Esther, Hosea, and Malachi. There is very little Bible study either in the accompanying DVD presentations or in the homework assignments in the study book - but it proved to be a good opportunity to consider the subject of faithfulness in general, and we ended up having a good lesson in reading the OT through NT lenses, that is, through Jesus' eyes - which is an important exercise, I think, for Christians, and from that perspective we had a lot of good discussion. Otherwise this book is nothing more than a sampling - almost an advertisement for - these writers' work and ideas. ( )
