Librarian’s note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
Dave Hunt was an American Christian apologist, speaker, radio commentator and author. He was in full-time ministry from 1973 until his death. A prolific best-selling author, international lecturer, and Bible teacher, his writings have been translated into at least 50 languages. More than four million copies of Dave’s books have been sold. For nearly a decade, Dave also co-hosted a weekly radio program, Search the Scriptures Daily, broadcast on over 400 stations in the U.S. and worldwide.
This is what I regard as the second-most important book I have read since my conversion (no prizes for guessing the best!) It goes in-depth on the Bible, and has plenty of quotable phrases. Even if you don’t read it all, it’s worth getting just for the chapter on Love (agape/agapao). Be warned, though: this is not light reading, and you should have a notebook and pen to hand, as well as a Bible. Dave Hunt wrote an easier-to-read, less in-depth version, called ‘Seeking and Finding God’; I haven’t read that, as this was so good. 10/10!
Notes: Possibly the best book on the Christian life I have ever read. It is the sermon you wish your pastor would preach, one you never tire of hearing because you are convicted and growing each time you hear it. Amazing!
Very thought provoking and timely read compelling me to rely on my Savior and His Word, the Bible, to navigate through the waters of life in these tough times. Many individual chapters are self-contained studies to be used as springboards to deeper understanding of the topic of focus but the entire book reminds us that this world is not our home~ we are just passing through, and should live with our heavenly view and not the self-absorbed lifestyle common to the carnal man. I highly recommend this book!
Even though I did not agree with everything the author said, the book still was a blessing and a challenge to me. Dave Hunt made me think and a lot of what he said convicted me.
