This felt like a mini history intensive on the books creating the Gospels including history and customs during the time, and my history heart loved it!
Throughout, I learned historic events that occurred during the 400 years of silence, where believers were first called “Christian’s” & how it is believed that Mark was the first to write his chapter prior to the others as well as how these written accounts were actually written down and shared in the time period. Furthermore, going into depth the various styles and details in the writing of each of the authors; Mark, Matthew, Luke & John. Very informative and looking forward to other books within the “Apostolic Handbook Series”.

My favorite Handbook so far!!
(Ignore the fact that I have only read one other beside this one)
I have known Brother Brickle most of my life and have been friends with the Brickle family for forever; however, this is the first book of his that I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing his personality and intellect shine through in his writing. Although this handbook is jam-packed with information, the narrative in which he presents it, a journey through biblical times and a conversation with the Gospel authors, makes it incredibly engaging. This book was so enjoyable to read, and I highly recommend it.

This is one of those reads that you'll want to take your time with. It is so rich and wonderfully written. Brickle's writing evokes such beautiful imagery and offers insightful revelation that will help you study the gospels like you never have before.

This book hand historical insights that I hadn’t considered, which gave a great new light to the gospels. Also, it goes into depth on each writer, which was interesting.

Helpful handbook that did not overwhelm in jargon. Helpful insights in a fairly condensed book.
