The Complete Jewish Study Bible from Hendrickson Bibles


Not long after I became a Christian believer, I heard a representative from Jews for Jesus share about the Passover meal and what each part of the meal represents. I found it fascinating.
Since then, I have been to a recreation of the Passover meal with explanation of each part and a few more Jews for Jesus events. Each time I have felt my own faith in Christ was enriched. For that reason, I was excited to receive a copy of The Complete Jewish Study Bible.

The Complete Jewish Study Bible is absolutely beautiful in many ways. The hardcover is a gorgeous, rich blue with a bit of an old Jewish look to it. From the back of the cover this Bible "pairs the newly updated text of the bestselling Complete Jewish Bible with detailed notes and comprehensive study material to help both Jewish and Christian readers understand and connect with the essence of their faith--God's redemptive plan for his people."

During the time I spent reading through this Bible and using it to review, the Jews have celebrated Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. This Bible has articles in it that help explain the history of these holidays from the Bible and their meaning then and now. There are also Scripture readings included for all Sabbaths, Festivals, Feasts and fasts. I especially enjoyed that aspect. All in all, there are over 100 articles, categorized into 12 themes that help explain Jewish customs, names of God and more history. The articles are written by over 30 contributors that are both of Jewish and Christian in their backgrounds.

Each Bible book in The Complete Jewish Study Bible contains an introduction from a Jewish perspective. I would add that the writing at the start of each chapter has a Jewish look to it which I felt added a richness to the book. The original Hebrew names and pronunciation also add to the study. The study notes at the bottom of the pages are so helpful in understanding Bible history and culture, especially the Jewish part of our history.


I would highly recommend this study Bible to any Christian or Jew looking to study both the Bible and the spiritual history of both. I know I have learned many new things in the short time I have had it. I have also felt my faith strengthened as a result. It is beautiful and well done. The print is dark and a nice size to read too.

I received The Complete Jewish Study Bible from Hendrickson Bible publisher. I was not required to write a positive review in exchange for the book.

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours ! My Review: Four older women retire and live year-round on a cruise ship. Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader. I enjoy older people so I especially liked The Shippers in this book. I also was rooting for Lacey and Jonathan. I enjoyed getting to know the ship crew as well as the other characters. There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
