There are discussion questions, to encourage you to consider what you're learning and reevaluate—the obvious aim is not to indoctrinate, but to produce a discourse.

Each chapter is also summarized at the end, which is helpful. To paraphrase JK Rowling specifically her book, The Half Blood Prince , you don't want to read something just for it to "slip through [your] brain without leaving the slightest trace of meaning behind". For each point they make, there is a relevant scripture cited. If you're interested in the study of religion, this could definitely be called thought-provoking. Even if you don't agree with their beliefs, I think you can see for yourself that they didn't come from nowhere.

I personally found it to be a fascinatingly insightful view into the Bible. You learn things you've never heard of before, and the most surprising thing is, when you look them up yourself, you find them to be true.

They aren't misleading anybody by deliberately misconstruing the meaning of the scriptures to match their beliefs. There's an amount of honesty that is, frankly, quite refreshing. It really is well-researched, in my opinion.

However, the writing style is a little blunt, and I understand why that may be perceived as forceful. If you aren't looking to change religions, you might find yourself a little insulted. But I will say that one should keep in mind the point of this book: to learn what the Bible says is true.

I think they succeeded on that front. You're still meant to consider for yourself whether or not to adopt Christianity based on its own merits. They're merely proposing some new ideas about an old religion, and really, if you were possessed of even the least amount of brain cells, you could decide on your own what you think about that.

It is organized topically with supporting scriptures on subjects such as God's Kingdom, Jesus Christ, the sanctity of life and blood, and family life. I would encourage anyone to read the book with an open mind and an open Bible. See for yourself and don't take anyone else's word for it. If you want to know more about the bible and improve your relationship with God, you must read this book.

It contains the truth about His Word and is laid out in a way that helps you learn in a progressive manor, although I find that discussing it with one of Jehovah's Witnesses that could help answer my questions to be the best way to go.

Jun 15, Alexis rated it it was amazing. So good! So happy to have this book and share it with others. Aug 15, Mark Eikema rated it did not like it. That's not the case though. And frankly, the title doesn't fit the book. The most basic reason would be that is uses a per version of the Bible that basically every serious scholar on the topic considers outside of the realm of actual Bible translations.

Making claims about X by studying Y doesn't make sense. Therefore, sadly, I have to say it's not much on an actual Bible study tool. This book is typical of religious organisations, using quotes from the bible to fit their ideal, yet turn around on page and say "THE book of revelation contains expressions that are not to be taken literally".

It's condescending in it's wording i. Imagine what it felt like to know Jesus was Jan 12, David Howell rated it it was amazing. I have a good friend who happens to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses,and he recommended this book to me. A very thoughtful approach to the Bible and a good introduction to Watchtower Beliefs,it is beautifully illustrated and well put together.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in the Watchtower Society and the organazation as a whole I have a good friend who happens to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses,and he recommended this book to me.

In a "believe us or you are a moron" - way. It was filled with contradiction and leading questions, if you had your own hypothesis, it had better be theirs. Over all and interesting look into a religion I don't myself believe in, always nice to see the world from the perspective of others It was definitely an interesting book, with language that always wanted to make you feel happy.

Apr 05, Melissa Waters rated it it was amazing. An excellent learning aid to be used with your Bible!! May 27, Sandy rated it it was amazing Shelves: my-favorites , inspirational , spiritual-religious.

The best book ever to help one understand basic Bible Truths. All information is from the Bible and answers many of life's questions. What can i say? It is the truth! Oct 24, Michael Arnold rated it did not like it Shelves: non-fiction. I wasn't going to write anything about this book because I only read it out of personal curiosity. I've been trying to explore religion a lot more fairly recently. I've been an atheist for most of my life, but I'm starting to find myself not satisfied with that anymore.

Also, I really don't want to step on any toes here, but this is a really bad book. There's a few interesting ideas here, and questions raised that I liked to think about. That much is good, but primarily this book is really badly I wasn't going to write anything about this book because I only read it out of personal curiosity. That much is good, but primarily this book is really badly written. Full of exclamation points, about statements that it treats as somehow self evidently true.

What a stupid idea! There's also valley-sized gaps in the information and ideas that this book either presents or argues. It is clear the writer who I don't think is credited did not think about his text being read by someone who was in any way sceptical. For one example, it seemed to treat the year , being the year Jesus started battling the forces of darkness in the world, as totally self evident - very strange.

After googling this idea, it led me to learn about the Watch Tower group, who have been criticized for allegedly practicing mind control.

Sorry, I did it again No, I still do not know why is so important. The outbreak of WW1? Does that have anything to do with it?

I didn't even realise this book was published by Jehovah's Witnesses until half way through, and again, I'm not trying to step on any toes. I'm talking about the book, not the beliefs, and the book is bad. Michael Arnold How is it done? Nov 04, Ekeleyokpa Ughulu rated it it was amazing.

We could say some good things about this booklet. Parts provide good, accurate interpretations of passages. For the most part, the artwork is commendable. By the grace of God, I do so on my website and on Twitter.

I hope that you benefit from what I teach. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message. Thank you! View all posts by James Hutton. Skip to content. Like this: Like Loading Published by James Hutton.
