<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A chronological reading through Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, and a portion of 1 Samuel with insightful devotionals from the works of Robert Hawker, Charles H. Spurgeon, and Octavius Winslow.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Volume 3 features Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, and a portion of 1 Samuel. Deuteronomy is a review of Israel's history and law prior to entering the Promised Land. Joshua, Moses' successor in the leadership of Israel, describes the challenges and triumphs of possessing the Promised Land. Judges is mainly a historical narrative that leads up to establishment of the monarchy in first Samuel. "The primary purpose of the book of Ruth is to highlight an island of faith and integrity in a sea of corruption." (Smith, 76)</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Old Testament Readings & Devotionals, Volume 3</em> adds a new study to C.M.H. Koenig's series; this covering Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, and a portion of First Samuel during the period between 1406 BC - 1025 BC. This third book in an 11-volume series takes the time and energy to pair analysis with a daily devotional designed to encourage a chronological, in-depth study of the Bible.</p><p> </p><p>Each daily read is marked with a Biblical passage, accompanying devotional with food for thought, and footnoted references that connect Biblical concepts: <em>"The eternal God is thy refuge."</em> Deuteronomy 33:27 (AKJV)</p><p><em>The word refuge may be translated "mansion," or "abiding-place," which gives the thought that God is our abode, our home. There is a fullness and sweetness in the metaphor, for dear to our hearts is our home, although it be the humblest cottage, or the scantiest garret; and dearer far is our blessed God, in whom we live, and move, and have our being. It is at home that we feel safe: we shut the world out and dwell in quiet security. So, when we are with our God, we "fear no evil."</em></p><p> </p><p>This opportunity to take Biblical study in digestible pieces and apply its teachings to life experiences and spiritual and philosophical enlightenment lends to a self- or group-study program like few others.</p><p> </p><p>The Bible readings are paired with insights from several scholarly sources, from late 1700s Anglican priest and author Robert Hawker's <em>Poor Man's Old Testament Commentary</em> to the reflections of 1834 English Particular Baptist preacher and author Charles H. Spurgeon, and 1800s pastor and author Octavius Winslow.</p><p> </p><p>The citations highlight striking features in Biblical figures and messages, present interpretations that will lend not just to individual reflection but group study and debate, and allow for daily connections to Biblical messages that analyze the heart of passages in a succinct, chronological approach.</p><p> </p><p>While <em>Old Testament Readings & Devotionals, Volume 3</em> will appeal to scholarly and religious students, it's also quite accessible to everyday Christians who want to delve deeper into Biblical meaning and God's word in a manner different than most devotionals offer.</p><p> </p><p>Those who find the Bible rich in lessons and meaning, but who need guideposts to fully absorb them, will find<em> Old Testament Readings & Devotionals, Volume 3</em> and its series the perfect place to embark upon a well-organized study.</p><p> </p><p> D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review</p><br>
