Looking for a quick and easy way to study the Old Testament?

Well Catherine Walkers' Bible Workbook is the perfect resource. For a book with only 67 pages it covers quite a lot.

This is perfect for beginners and people who are looking for new ways to get into the scripture.

It's a powerful tool for learning more about the Bible.

It has an easy to follow format which includes fill in the blanks and sections with things for you to do like memorizing certain scriptures.

This book can even make an ideal gift.

PS: I received a copy of this from the publisher. I was in no way required to to leave a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

My first impression when they arrived: they were not what I was expecting. When I hear the word 'workbook', I expect it to be thorough in aiding in understanding. But these books were not so. They are extremely thin and flimsy (roughly only 70 pages in each book).

So once I opened these books I realize they are the republishing so to speak of book from 60 years ago, so I should not be too surprised at their lack of depth.

My hope was to find workbooks that I could sink my teeth into. However, I find that I've found base level workbooks. Onse that seem to gloss over some books of the bible with a simple summary while having outlines and questions for others. Then I look at a book like the Psalms and it got all of 1.5 pages, I'm flabbergasted to a degree over the briefness and condensation of a book with over 100 chapters covering a wide range of topics.

Honestly, I want to say a waste of my time, but then again with children in my house. It is not a waste but I can pass along for them to use in their studies of the bible. I dare say it would also be sufficient for the new believer who would want to lay a foundation of the bible before more in-depth studying.

When I received an email asking if I would be interested in reviewing the Bible Workbook Series by Catherine B. Walker, I replied with an ecstatic, "Yes!" What I didn't know at the time is that these resources were actually written in 1943-44 which, to me, makes them more. In current conservative evangelical circles, there often seems to be a stigma toward women attending seminary and I imagine it was even greater during the time Catherine wrote these workbooks. I was impressed to learn that Catherine possessed a Doctor of Religious Education degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. For the sake of this review, I researched who Catherine was and found out via her biography that she lived to be 100. From what I learned about her, her love for Jesus, and her love for people, it is patent that she ran long and hard for the Lord and I hope to emulate her in that. Although Catherine is no longer living, it is so sweet to her legacy live on in many ways, including the publication of these Bible Workbooks! Catherine took The Great Commission seriously and these workbooks are evidence of that. The Bible Workbook Volume 1 Old Testament was intended to be a high school course but is a helpful tool for anyone desiring to grow in their knowledge of the Old Testament. Since I have read the Bible chronologically, it was exciting to see that the workbook examines the Old Testament in the same way. Before diving into the Old Testament, this workbook begins with a brief overview of the entire Bible which creates a helpful foundation for the entire study. The questions are simple and I love that they point readers to the Bible. One fun aspect of this book is the maps which have a vintage look. The Bible Workbook Volume 2 new Testament is composed in the same format as the Volume 1 Workbook. I love that this volume contains a page explaining the Intertestamental Period and contains an outline of the life of Christ. On page 5, Catherine explained, "Christ is the theme and central character fo the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. The Old Testament continually promises 'Christ will come.' The New Testament says 'Christ has come.'" I really enjoyed reading this simple explanation emphasizing the importance of why we need to know all of Scripture. The Bible Workbook Series Volume 1 and 2 complement each other really well. Both workbooks contain 3 holes in the spine making them an easy addition to a binder. The pages in both workbooks are also perforated making them easy to submit as assignments to be graded. I'm really thankful for these workbooks and for Catherine's heart to help people know who God is according His word. These workbooks help readers understand the Bible comprehensively but in a simple way and they are affordable. I highly recommend these workbooks to anyone who is looking to grow in their knowledge of the Bible. I received the Bible Workbook Series compliments of Moody Publishers in exchange for my honest review.

This workbook from Moody Publishers takes the student through the Old Testament, starting at the very beginning with Genesis. It is full of questions for students to answer, information about each lesson, and questions to stimulate thought.

The note at the beginning states that completion of the workbook is not the goal. The goal is that the questions and notes inside would stimulate the student and guide them in searching and knowing the Bible. This was designed for a high school course but has also been used successfully in adult Bible studies.

My favorite thing about this workbook was the fact that it comes with holes punched in the side for a three ring binder. The pages are also perforated to easily be removed.

This would be the perfect workbook for a new Christian or a Bible study to go through together.

I would give this workbook 5 stars.

*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.

It was not quite what I expected based on the images available on the website for this product. I thought it was an extensive workbook on entire OT, but i felt it would be a good resource for new believers and not for people who want to approach it with an expository approach.
