I will not lie about it, I was very skeptical about reading this book (as a study or just for the sake of reading.) I found it to be a great book of knowledge, or overview. It is an excellent reference and guide over much of what Jesus had to say, or teach us, throughout the Gospels. I was so pleasantly surprised I also got the book of prophecies of the bible, figured why not? Anything that can help me understand the bible and it's teaching better...is a book and reference worth having in my hands!

Well worth it to have in your library for self study or for family time. It is well worth it to have just for the Appendices and the information they provide!

30 days? More like 30 weeks for me. I looked forward to reading more and more of this book and did not rush my way through it. Now that I have finally finished it, I will start reading it again from the beginning, but this time with my trusty highlighter.
