(Finding deep faith beyond shallow religion.)
By Jenifer Jernigan
Mrs. Jernigan takes the readers through a systematic study
of the book of Ephesians. She also takes those scholars on some side excursions
into other parts of the New Testament and into the Old Testament when
necessary.
This is a Bible study text I believe would be best studied
in a group. That way the scholars would be able to give and receive
encouragement from one another.
In this book, the author gives us, who take up this study, a
series of steps with which to explore the depths of Paul’s message to the
Ephesians. She uses the acrostic D I V E. This means dive, investigate,
visualize, and embrace.
In the back of the book she includes five appendices a
serious Bible scholar would find most helpful.
Although this Bible study is very well presented, I am
concerned about the price of the study book. Several of my friends are on a
fixed income and might not be able to purchase a Bible study book in this price
range.
I received a copy of this book from Booklook Bloggers, a
program of Harper Collins Christian Publishing Inc. via Thomas Nelson
Publishing. All they asked me to do was read it and give an
unbiased review.

Hi Cecelia! This sounds like a great study for me because I do love St. Paul. I wonder if this is actually too scholarly for me though? Again, I appreciate your honest assessment of the price. You are a great reviewer for me!
