Not my favorite thing to read. I don't much like commentaries. I had to read this for a class I am taking. It has one very valid point: Nowhere in the Bible does it say that you should never drink. That is a doctrinally imposed "law" that many have placed on few to keep them from sin. The problem is not the alcohol, but the person who is drinking it. The information was good. Some of it was more based on something someone may or may not have thought at one time. Yeah. Not my favorite but okay for what it's worth.

I Love How it Breaks Down Every Verse and Makes You Think a Little Deeper and Understand on a Different Level

Had to read it for class. Super dry. More of a reference book that will sit on my shelf.
