by Mary A. Merritt, D. Michael Michael (Editor)

Enjoy beautiful artwork while you learn the Hebrew language. Feast your eyes on original, full color, full page art for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet and enjoy smaller, full color images to illustrate many Hebrew words. Learn to pronounce consonants and vowel marks and begin to read Hebrew words. Learn to write using the writing practice pages. Learn root words to help build vocabulary. Begin to speak a few phrases. Hebrew: Beginning Your Journey is written for all ages. The older student can study primarily on his own, and a home school parent can guide the younger ones in the family using the lesson plans provided. Many helpful learning exercises are provided, including, picture matching quizzes, fill-in-the blank quizzes, and Hebrew Bible verse and Concordance assignments. Depending on the age and determination of the student(s), the mastering of the material may be accomplished in a forty week school year or less. A good share of the studying is based on inspiring verses from the Tanach (Old Testament) which is very motivating to those who love God's Word and desire to know it better. The hope is that your appetite will be whetted to continue searching the Bible's original Hebrew for more "hidden treasures." From the Foreword by Rabbi Steven J. Weiler of Tampa, FL Recently, God has brought many Jewish people to receive Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah, and He has brought many Christians to once again search for their foundational understanding of Scripture - through Jewish eyes as they realize that Jesus and His disciples were Jewish. One of the miracles that God performed in the late 19th century was the revival of the Hebrew language. This revival has generated a new and great interest in learning Hebrew. Hebrew is not just for Israelis, nor is it only for Bar & Bat Mitzvah students. Hebrew is for all of us who want to know better how to "handle accurately the Word of Truth." Hebrew: Beginning Your Journey, by Mary A. Merritt, is a great way for young and old to start the journey of learning Hebrew. It makes great sense. The pictures are informative and visually inspiring. Tying the Hebrew to the Scriptures is motivating and extremely helpful in "hiding the Word in our hearts." The logical progression in this book makes the learning of Hebrew attainable. You have what you need to step-by-step get to the next level: lesson plans, assignments, quizzes, writing practice - the list goes on and on. This is a journey worth taking. May God bless you and your family as you experience the joys of learning Hebrew.

I love this book! It is full color inside. It has beautiful full page artwork for each Hebrew letter. Then it has little illustrations for many words that start with that letter. It is a very pleasurable way to begin studying Hebrew! It has weekly lesson plans for a whole school year for learning to read and write Hebrew, even to speak a little. It would be a great companion book to any audio course you are taking. And it would be a wonderful way to introduce your children to this rich, Biblical language. Excellent for homeschooling.

I totally loved this book! having such a unique interest in this. Hebrew such a unique healing language and totally learning who he is and what he wants for us.

Hebrew for beginners is just the start. It begins by introducing you into the letters. It has pictures so you can associate the words and everything. It has each lesson planned out for you and you must be accomplished in the lesson before moving on. Each lesson points you to a deeper understanding of his word.

After the alphabet is the way to write the letters, and yes the words. after you have accomplished this you move onto the quizzes and everything. Last but not least is the exhustive concordance where each Hebrew word has a number and yes you will be able to find another word that means the same things.

I received this book from Olive Press Publishers in exchange for my honest review."

I may not have read every bit of this, but I have gone through the material a few times, learning many things as I went. I am the principle illustrator, and my mom wrote the book, so I may be a bit prejudiced, but I've always loved learning with pictures. This is first of all an alphabet book for the Hebrew language, but includes several words for each letter. The back of the book is full of quizzes and sheets for practicing the Hebrew letters. If you're looking to get a good and painless start in the Hebrew language, this is a great place to look!
