Reviews

[Carey Smoak · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great book explaining hard passages in the Old Testament. Many people will use hard passages to point out contradictions in the Bible. But when properly investigated these apparent contradictions are resolved.

[Bethany Park · Rating 5 out of 5]

So many questions answered with this book that trouble many people I come across in the faith. Invaluable for those who want to learn the "whys" behind some of the questionable acts in the Old Testament, and then be able to give an answer to others who are struggling.

This was good. Certainly could not agree with everything, especially his take on God's hatred of Esau (Mal. 1:2-3). Nevertheless, worth the read.
