Billy Graham meets Norman Vincent Peal . . . in a good
way! Many times when reading scripture,
we don’t take the time to figure out where the rubber meets the road. We’re so busy with our own agendas (and I’m
speaking for myself, as well) that we see Bible reading / Bible study as
something to get through as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Priceless Stones
forces the reader to slow down; to really contemplate the truths that are being
communicated through the Hebrew words that are under consideration. Author James Revoir tackles one word in each “chapter,”
provides insight and analysis as to the importance of that word, and then
invites the reader to respond to the Lord by means of Prayer, and by means of Dedication.
The Prayers and Dedications are written out, and demonstrate
to the reader points of real-life application that can be put into practice
immediately. The Dedications,
especially, are a breath of fresh air for the tired believer. The ramifications of the word under
consideration are fully realized, and the impact that it ought to have on the
believer are practically spelled out.
Many times, they remind me of the Apostle Paul’s pedagogy; “On the basis
of these truths, how should we then live?”
Following the Prayer and the Dedication, there are a number
of Study Guide questions that would be excellent for small-group discussion
Whether for small-group Bible study, or personal devotions, Priceless Stones will bring the Hebrew
language to life. And you don’t have to
know Hebrew to benefit from this excellent resource.
