The Patriarchs - Bible Study Book: Encountering the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

This book was listed in good condition so I thought might have some writing in it. It is almost completely filled out. I would not have ordered had I known this was the case for "good condition".

If you are expecting enlightenment or a greater understanding on the Patriarchs try somewhere else. This is a friendly book that offers a very surface level anecdotal message from an author who is not well versed in church history.

This study is, at present, the best Beth Moore Indepth Bible Study I've taken part in! Like the reviewer, LL, stated, an honest look at our "heroes of the faith" provides such a swell of comfort in knowing that God can use the flawed, the failing, and bring them into lives of victory. God was with them, loved them, and blessed them despite many glaring obstacles. The study was a tremendous blessing to me. Mrs. Moore's ability to discern deep truths and her knowledge that allows her to pull the Old Testment references together and to the New Testament confirmations amazes me. God is not afraid to show us the real struggles faced by His people.

My Bible Study group, just finished the Patriarchs. It was truley a blessing to have done this study. This was my first time with Beth Moore and she is simply amazing. Every lesson reached my heart and soul. Her workbook is great and the CD's that are with this study are just awesome. This study covers the book of Genesis, from Abraham to Jacob, and showed how God tied Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to the present and the future. It is a study well worth taking.

I respectfully disagree with every last word of the previous review. The Patriarchs study was well-done and I believe God-inspired. Beth Moore does an excellent job of revealing the flawed humanity and sin-nature of every human being, including the patriarchs of the O.T. She does so to encourage all who might feel "too far gone" in their sin or inadequate in some way to serve the Lord and show that with Christ, all things are possible. He doesn't choose those who appear qualified in the world's eye, but those He deems worthy in His own sovereign knowledge. This study provides a wonderful foundation of the book of Genesis in a way that is relevant, respectful and that brings the characters to life. The patriarchs were no more or less perfect than anyone else, yet I am amazed at how God used these sinful, imperfect men to bring His covenant to a lost world.

Beth Moore does every bible study so well. She brings new perspectives and explains every part so perfectly. I enjoy each of her bible studies and always want a new one.

I have done alot of her workbooks each one gets more better than the other even though all of her work is great. She shows you how the Bible relates to you and she makes you want to dig more in your Bible. I can't wait until her next one comes out. Write a little faster Beth.
