  3. WOW What a book I really liked it Normally, you d think that something that is a commentary on the Old Testament to be boring and slow This was great I couldn t stop reading it It takes you from the time of Abraham through Moses leading the Children of Israel out of Egypt all of the way through the Judges and to the time of King Saul.Now, I need to go and find some Skousen books to read.

  4. We used this series of manuals as a supplement to our Old Testament studies this year in our homeschool They were really helpful in giving us the historical background to the ancient world I loved the story about the guy who was swallowed by a whale in modern times and lived to tell the tale that really helped us to understand what it may have been like for Jonah Worthwhile series overall.

  6. The second work by Skousen that I read was his study of the Old Testament, of which this is the second volume This volume gets through 2 Samuel or 1 Chronicles LikeHidden Treasures from the Book of Mormon, he treats his own theories as fact and, like the former work, it gets four stars.
