I've had this book for 3 years and both my children (now aged 5 and 11) still love to hear the stories. The pictures are colorful and enjoyable and the bible stories are well placed in the story themes. The story set up begins with a situation the bear family encounters and then a bible story that relates to that situation is recollected by one of the bears. The last story Heaven Can't Wait will have the reader teary eyed, and is told in such a way that although the child will experience the sadness of death, they will see the victory of eternal life with God. I wish there were more books written of Big Ideas In the Bible. This book makes a great family devotional!

We were on vacation at a friend's. They brought out this book to read for her bedtime story. Well, we had to read 2 of the stories that night. The first thing the next morning, she got the book out again and asked me to read more. While the other kids were out swimming in the pool, she insisted I read her 2 more of the stories. When we got home from vacation, she told me she wanted to use her allowance money and buy a copy of the book herself. The tone of the book is warm and encouraging. The spiritual truths are shared in a beautiful and loving way.

This study Bible is one of the best. The New American Standard Version made things so much clearer than the King James Version I had been using. The study notes were very helpful. I still love the poetic language of the KJV, but this has become the Bible I use.

like i said, i really like it....

I am a layperson.

The depth of the commentary and the fastidious cross-referencing in the margin has made this Bible the gateway for my growth as a Christian. The maps in the back and other commentary at the beginning of each book create a depth of understanding in my Christian experience that I find too infrequently from the pulpit.

The commentary has great life application elements and historical references as well.

Well Done Dr. Ryrie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Ryrie Study Bible Expanded Edition is truly an excellent study bible. In addition to clear and detailed notes on every page, this bible has some of the best explanatory charts and tables I have found in any study or reference bible.

Each book in this bible includes an extensive introduction with detailed notes on authorship, date, contents, an outline, and a feature I especially enjoy, a graphical timeline for that book. Also included is a sizable concordance, and over a dozen detailed full-color maps depicting the Holy Land from the Old Testament through Christ's ministry and Paul's journeys and up to present day.

If I had to recommend any one study bible, this would be it. I would especially recommend it for anyone in the ministry or actively evangelizing. The wealth of reference material in this bible makes God's Word not only easier to understand, but also easier to explain to others. Also available in King James Version, I give the Ryrie Study Bible Expanded Edition my highest recommendation.

After reading this book this morning, I had a vision of one of our youth at church performing this book as a dramatic interpretation. What an excellent, fresh view of the Easter Story!

This book caught my attention because of it's small size and cover. I skimmed through most of it at the Christian store I was at and thought it would make a great Easter gift. It has an interesting format and the pictures between the chapters are excellent. It held my interest and I felt like I was experiencing the story along with the shopkeeper narrator. I felt the emotions of wonder, awe, sorrow and joy right along with the character in the book.

I have read this excellent book by Kenn Gangel, Personally I want to say that this book is excellent and extraordinary. Because of his insight and scholars background plus his background of practical ministry that make this book became awesome. Especially in Christian Coaching, this is quite new and nobody writes in the some topic as good as Gangel does. With Biblical and scriptural passages background plus practical way of coaching principles and action make this book easy to read and very beneficial. I encourage to all Christian leader to read and apply this principle in this book, this is a book for the future leader in this generation and to the next generation. Thanks and God bless you.

this book provides a treasure trove for both the new and older christian from respected dispensational authors.if you look at the sample pages you get an idea of the depth and helpfulness of this
great resource

This book is fantastic to meditate on. I enjoyed reading this book through the first, second, and third time! There are so many lessons to be learned in life and this book gives you ways to interpret happenings in life. It is certainly a tool to gain christian maturity and spiritual growth. I keep it as a reference and enjoy sharing it with my friends as they experience difficulties in their lives.

Charles Stanley's book is a good basic introduction to the practical everyday wisdom in the book of Proverbs. Stanley's meditations highlight 31 themes to help you live life more skillfully. For a more in-depth look at King Solomon's wisdom read THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF PROVERBS by Cody Jones. It features 6 translations of Proverbs in parallel and a very interesting and readable commentary with historical photos that give you a sense of the culture of the time. It also examines and answers many of the riddles and mysteries in Proverbs.

What an amazing book! The first two events that happened in this book shows us that the saying ask and you shall receive is very true when you ask it of the Lord.
The author, Charles Muller gives an account of a young boy not knowing anything about the Lord God. Grew up finding him in a miraculas way.
Each story you read in this book "Touched by God" is a blessing in its self.
If I could give this book a higher rating then 5 stars I would, for the author did a wonderful job bringing all of these stories together.
In reading this book you will find things will seem brighter and tomorrow will be a better day.God Conquers All!

The author Charles Muller will take you through the stories of seven different people. One of them being himself.

Each story will grab you in a different way.It will touch your heart and soul. Some very sad but the author shows the reader how brave these people are, how much they trust in the Lord day by day.

He tells of a young boy who was wise beyond his years and how his wisdom lay in his love for God. This little boy's faith alone was an inspiration to me.

The story that Charles Muller tells of himself took my breath away. His words alone made me feel his pain, his emptiness, his longing for a God that he thought was no longer there!
He tells of a story that happened at four in the morning that brought him to say."God,I Love You".

This story, " Touched by God" is a must read. It gave me an inward piece that is hard to explain. Almost as though God touched me as I read it!.

In this book, Charles Swindoll educates the reader on 22 specific areas for personal growth available by studying Solomon's Book of Proverbs. The areas of growth are clearing defined, and backed by Scripture. Each chapter of the book is concluded with specific action items, to point the reader in the right direction. It is an excellent book for anyone who wants to study and learn from Solomon's wisdom. I recommend it highly!

This book was used in an Adult Sunday School class at our Pres. church. I didn't make it to all the classes but used this book to study Acts on my own. It provides many insights into Acts and also refers the reader to other sources for further study. This study book does not deal with ALL of the book of Acts but looks in depth at certain passages. Chapter titles include:New Beginnings, Pentecost, Life and Death, Conversion of Saul, Peter and COrnelius, Jerusalem Council, Paul in Athens, Women in the new test. Church, Riot in Ephesus, Paul's Trial before Agrippa. Contains a leader's guide.

This book helps to explain what the "exchanged life" really means. Charles Price uses illustrations that make sense of it all. He opens the scripures with inspiration and makes the old testament come alive as it reveals the coming of the messiah. This is a "must read" book.
