Book Review - God Speaks


 ABOUT THE BOOK:

No matter how familiar or  unfamiliar you are with the Bible, God Speaks will bring its timeless truth alive as you view it with fresh eyes and apply its restorative power to your life.

Far from a dusty old book of do's and don'ts, the Bible is a relevant and eternal message of love and reconciliation that holds the power to shape society and transform lives. Dr. Craig Evans, a consultant on Mark Burnett and Roma Downey's blockbuster miniseries The Bible unfold Scripture with compelling clarity. God Speaks will equip you to provide answers to skeptics' questions about the Bible's true message.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Dr. Craig Evans is a professor of New Testament at Acadia Divinity College of Acadia University in Nova Scotia, Canada. He received his M. Div. from Western Baptist Seminary in Portland, OR and his M. A. and Ph.D. in biblical Studies from Claremont Graduate University in southern California. A well known evangelical scholar throughout the world, he is an elected member of the prestigious SNTS, a society of dedicated to New Testament studies.

MY REVIEW:

So many of us truly don't understand what the Bible says. Even those of us who read it all the time can use more understanding about what God is saying to us through His Word!

This book is packed with information that will give you knowledge that you can really use. The best thing about this book is that it was super easy for me to understand. So many times when you have a book like this, the author will write over your head or the text is boring and dry. Not this book. I found it intriguing and couldn't wait to sit down and read.

Another great thing is how we, as Christians, can sometimes we swayed by what others tell us the Bible says and we have no idea how to answer that person. They sound reasonable and we aren't sure what the Bible says, so we are speechless. Dr. Evans gives us the answers to all these questions and comments that others say to us. I found this invaluable!

Some think the Bible is a bunch of rules and negative talk, too, but that is not so and this book really shows us the bright truth of the Bible. I always thought that the Bible was a encouragement, but this book really confirmed this for me and gave me knowledge to share with others who think it's negative.

I loved this book and how much it taught me! It is a wonderful book for everyone and I highly recommend you getting this if you truly want to learn all you can about what God is telling us through his Word! I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. You can find the link to purchase this book below.
