Do Those of you I know from college remember the book called
Encountering the Old Testament. Dr S had us read it for both Pentateuch and Former Prophets class…This is what it looked like.
And to those of you who don’t know it should get it!
Well I have been working through the book again. I have continually been finding myself with the need to be challenged. Challenged beyond daily devotions. And let me tell you it’s amazing of just how much you can forget in 5 Years since college!
So to those who read this and are really looking to give themselves a challenge. I got a five subject notebook and sat down with the book and started taking notes and doing all the vocabulary…even the ones I already know…and all the questions (Dr S. only made us do some of them) and I am challenging myself a ton. Now I have just finished chapter 2…and am looking forward to the challenge of coming weeks.
For those of you who have used the book….have you revisited some of your old textbooks from college? It’s amazing how much the material means now. It has gained new importance to me now than it did back in college.
Hubby keeps telling me I need to start reading books in his library…most of which are so over my head I can’t even understand the acknowledgments…just kidding, but this one is great…simplistic yet so chock full of Bible knowledge I learn something new all the time!
ENJOY!
