That you don't have to be a biblical scholar to understand its most profound messages? That it can help you come to know Christ? Evidence for all this and more can be found within these pages.

I enjoyed this one. It was a fairly easy read, and shared many messages that I already recognized or understood. But as I've said many times to Gabe, reading gospel centered books like this feels like having a gospel conversation with someone new. It may be things you've thought about and learned before, but it's still refreshing and edifying to hear (or read) another's perspective and thoughts. I also greatly appreciated the overall message that the Old Testament is still relevant and important to our day and time.

I enjoy the Old Testament and learning about the different facets of it. This book didn’t delve into the historicity if it as much as I wanted but it was still a good read.

I learned a lot from reading this book about the Old Testament. There are a lot of things that I do not understand in the Old Testament, so this book pointed out some of the types and symbols of Christ found in the Old Testament. I understood better what certain scripture verses were saying, and I enjoyed the stories that Brent Top related from his own life experiences and teaching experiences.

I really enjoyed this book. It helped me so much with my faith and testimony of the Book of Mormon.

This was somewhat difficult for me to read. I am sure I should have learned more from it. Will try it again sometime.
