Book Review: Eyewitness to Glory: Moses by Mindy Ferguson
Discerning God’s Active Presence
Another one of Ms. Ferguson’s great Bible study books.
Be prepared for real Bible study. She makes you look up the scriptures. The verses are not included in the book. I think this is a good thing as it forces you to look them up yourself and then you can use any Bible version(s) you want to use.
The format for this Bible study book is well laid out and easy to record answers to questions, work-book style. Each chapter is set up for five days of work (and not seven to allow for extra busy days in your life) and the fifth day is set up to reflect and find some application to your life from the previous four days of study. I also found the questions to be strategically placed to encourage you to discover key facts for yourself, and thereby be more likely to remember them.
Also included is relevant background information on the topic at hand and relevant personal stories at appropriate places.
Overall, most of all I felt encouraged. The entire tone was encouraging, never condemning or depressing or overwhelming.
How you use this study book seems important. To pray first seems crucial. But I would also recommend that you meditate on your own, after you read the scriptures and before you read her comments.
And, yes, I found some things out about Moses that I had never seen before.
If you like Bible studies that allow self-discovery or need help in getting deeper into the word in an easy-to-use laid-out format this book is for you.
