I burned this book because I found it to be so offensive. So much of what I believe to be the teaching of Scripture I believe because I have used the techniques Kay taught in How to Study Your Bible. I feel nauseated even contemplating reviewing this book because I ask myself, 'Who am I to critique Kay Arthur?' I have always held her up as a role model and a woman to be greatly honored and I am terribly grateful for much of her work. I have respect for Kay Arthur and have used, benefitted from, and taught, and lead study groups using her books with Precepts Ministries.

Whether you agree with the views of the author in regards to future events-this is well worth the read. Israel presented as a woman, as an adulterous wife, as a captive, 'she' as she is called in the Bible. Carrying up to her current events and even future in the time of the Peace Treaty and her husband's return.Īll throughout you'll be amazed to find that it is natural to read Israel's history this way, you aren't wondering about how this woman and those around her live for hundreds and hundreds of years-you are, I think, familiar with her. We meet, with her, Daniel, Nehemiah we go through Israel's history with her, captivity, the Maccabees, the weeping of Rachel (her friend) in Bethlehem, - through the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Pogroms, the Holocaust.

'Sarah', in the beginning of our book is turning her back on her husband and is about to feel the consequences in the Babylonian captivity. More unique than any fiction book I've ever read because the author personifies the nation of Israel and takes you through her history.

'Hope! I'll survive because I have hope!'Īn amazing read.
