Explore the Bible: personal study guide: 1,2 Kings, summer 2022 by G.B. Howell

 

 

5 out of 5 stars  *****

This study guide covers the end of King David's reign to the diaspora of Israel and the fall of Judah. The Israelites go into captivity because of their connection to the world of gods and not the One and only true God. The teachings of the devout are not received well by the generations who show an undisciplined behavior and a growing trend away from the teachings of scripture. The accounts reveal that there is a price to pay for sin and it must be paid. The purpose of Jesus Christ coming into the world is to pay that price that mankind cannot achieve by himself. The only requirement is faith in Christ and belief that scripture is God, as well.

 4 out of 5 stars  ****

A most important work on the birth of our government. The language is such that it is difficult to focus on the content of this audiobook when I listen with headphones and go about my daily tasks. This comprehensive explanation about procedures and process besides structure bases the world's best attempts to achieve a fair and just government for and by the people and not a tyrannical blueprint copied from history's strong nations that control its people for the sake of the government. America benefits greatly from these early, foundational concepts that are preserved in The Federalists Papers. It is a reference source that enlightens readers to why and how the United States government is so successful. Attacking these principles weakens the exceptionalism of America.
