I've done a lot of Bible studies and very much enjoyed this one. Get a Grip on the Bible was very helpful breaking down the key elements of the first eight books of the Bible. The questions are thought-provoking and provide the opportunity for the information to sink in. I especially appreciate the workbook-type format. I look forward to seeing the next study guide by Burton.

Easy to digest, the author really breaks down the books of the Bible Genesis through Ruth. Very helpful, especially for people new to the Bible.

This is a different type of study guide. It takes various stories from the old testament and gives you a brief overview of who, what, when and where the book is taking place. With some follow up questions and things to ponder. A good study .
