1 Samuel For You (God's Word For You Series)$26.99
The 'For You' series by the Good Book Company are a well needed addition to the 'commentary world'. The target audience for this series is the everyday Christian, who is looking to know and love God more, and these books provide - truly meeting their slogan as a book to 'read, feed and lead'. Whilst there are other books out there written for this purpose, these books are written by an array of pastors and theologians, some well known names such as Tim Keller and Tim Chester, and some lesser known, but all with a passion for the gospel and a great ability to be able to communicate the meaning and application of God's word. This series is one I highly recommend as an addition to your regular Bible reading. \\r\\n\\r\\n1 Samuel for You has been one of my absolute favourites of this series! I'll be the first to say that I've often struggled to delight in reading books from the Old Testament, but this book perfectly pairs the necessary exegesis with wonderful links to Christ and application to life, making it a real joy to read this book. Tim does a fantastic job of introducing David as the christ of his day, and pointing towards the true Christ, but links in the rest of the book really well, often explaining the links back to the opening of Hannah's song. \\r\\nI cannot recommend this book highly enough!
