Reviews

[Fran Gerardi · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book focused on the first 10 chapters of the Gospels of John. It is a good pamphlet for Bible Study Groups, although it can also be used for individual study. So often we hear or read the gospels without actually picking apart and focusing on the words.

This book seemed to focus on reading this gospel as a way of getting closer to God. Whatever, your reasons for delving into the gospels, I feel this book is a good start.

The book is a tool for Bible study on John 1-10. I am really enjoying the book, if you delve into the book of John and then refer back to the other readings of the Old Testament and New Testament it will give you insights on what John is writing about. I find this very interesting and the community at St. Michael's Church brings out more insight into how to put the readings into practice for yourself and for the community.
