You grew up using the well known black and yellow striped Cliff's Notes to help you grasp everything from great literary works to algebra. Unfortunately, what "Cliff" forgot was the greatest literary work in history: the complete Holy Bible. Enjoy the ease of understanding the Bible like never before, book by book. Shepherd's notes helps readers learn about the inspired authors of the Bible books and when and where they were first penned. Each Bible book is revealed in simple understandable steps that outline and underscore the focal points and personalities of the biblical text. You'll look to these unique books for their use in Bible studies, teaching, personal devotions and even in sermon preparation! Christian and home schools will find Shepherd's Notes an invaluable resource.
I've used several of these Shepherd's Notes books while reading the New Testament this year; this is the first one I've reviewed, but I do plan to review the others as well.
I really like and appreciate these Bible study companion guides. They give a lot of good supplementary information without the need to stop and answer questions and fill in blanks. There are a few questions at the end of each chapter but I haven't been using them. I can see where they'd be helpful if this book was used in classroom studies, but I'm just reading at home and really don't want to stop and write down answers to some complex questions every time I finish a chapter of the book.
Anyhow, so far I've bought 4 of these Shepherd's Notes books and I'm very likely to buy more because I like them that much.
