Customer Review: 3 out of 5 The Seller is NOT shipping from Georgia - I was impressed with how fast this book was shipped; however, this item was NOT shipped from Georgia like the seller stated, so it didn't get here as fast as I would have liked. It did get here in the time stated though.
Also, the condition of the book was just decent...not necessarily "GOOD". It had a whole section of bent pages.
All-in-all, this is a good seller though, and I would say go for it. Just know that the product is coming from the other side of the country. Not Georgia.
Customer Review: 5 out of 5 Great Bible Study Curriculum - I used this Bible Study material while I served as a chaplain in Afghanistan. In fact, we only finished about half of the book before I needed to redeploy and the remaining attendees begged me to find a new teacher so they could finish the study.
What they really liked was the "fill in the blank" format, but even more, the questions asked one to think and gave lots of room for a person to respond. This is true of the LifeChange curriculum and of course studying a book like "Acts" is so exciting. Taking a look at the early church is so interesting. The author/editors did a great job of topically catagorizing the chapters. It was, for the most part, chronological BUT when it made sense to study sections from several chapters in Acts that had the same theme, it was presented that way. As a long-time Bible Study teacher, the material provided insight that I had not thought of before.
Great Stuff!!
Customer Review: 4 out of 5 A solid, understandable commentary - Life Application Commentaries are very accessible to the lay reader and give added depth to Scripture. I've tried a number of commentaries, and I believe I'll stick with Life Application.
Customer Review: 5 out of 5 A very practical commentary - This is a very practical application type of commentary, it's a good reference book especially for beginners and even to those seasoned Christians who want to understand how the early church began and how things are being done.
thanks vince.
Customer Review: 5 out of 5 Excellent Life Application Commentary essential for Acts - If you have a chance to check out any "Top Selling Bibles" lists put out by the Christian Booksellers of America, and other groups, you will usually find the "Life Application Bible" at or near the top. The Life Application format provides useful, practical application to daily living, scholarly insight into cultures and languages, and a wonderful cross-referencing system that unifies the entire Bible under its vital themes. The Life Application Bible is, in a sense, the best of everything.Although the individual books can be pricey, the Life Application Commentary volumes -- primarily New Testament -- are even a few steps above the commentary in the Bible. All the vital and necessary information is provided, and there is no ducking controversial issues and verses with the verse-by-verse analysis. I found the volume for ACTS to be the most insightful and helpful, since the narration in Acts can be confusing with a constant introduction of new characters and dozens of settings. The Life Application Commentary boils it down and makes it understandable and easy to track. I highly recommend any Life Application volume, but especially the Acts commentary.
