This is a helpful supplement to the Come Follow Me curriculum for our church study this year.
I get these on my kindle so I can read my scriptures wherever I am without loading up with heavy books. The Old Testament is still difficult to understand, especially Isaiah but this is a good resource.
There are some so obvious explanations that it can be distracting and annoying at times. That's why 3 stars. :)

I started this four years ago when my church was studying the Old Testament. We didn't study each book, so over the past three years, I've been studying the rest of the book, and this study guide covers to Jeremiah 12. I enjoyed this study guide and the insights he adds to the different books of the scriptures.
