A reminder of our history.

This study brings us back to our history, awareness of ur present condition and warns us of our future. We are unable to live in grace and mercy without the redemption of our very souls by the King of Kings. When we allow something or someone other than the Christ to become the central focus of our lives we are destined to the chaos, bitterness and destruction the people of Israel experienced when they turned away from the Lord. There are lessons to be learned in this study.

Bertolini does a good job of explaining the texts and putting it into context. However, I wish she wouldn't paraphrase as much as she does. Overall it was very informative.
