Reviews

[Greg Judy]

Whyte provides exactly what the title describes: a concise explanation/introduction to various Bible characters. He has some great insight on these characters and brought out some things about them that I had never before considered. He does a good job of getting the reader to step into the character's mind.

[Lynda Newman]

Whyte is a great author! This book is a bunch of sermons on some of the main characters in the Bible and some of the parables. Enjoyed every bit!
