Priceless Stones - 42 Days of Hebrew Promises for Kingdom Living

For the past year or so I have been interested in studying the Bible Hebraically. To learn more about Hebrew meanings of certain words. Priceless Stones by James Revoir (ISBN: 9781936746378) is a Bible study book that will take you on a 42-day journey of "Hebrew Promises for Kingdom Living." As it says on the back cover, "Journey with the author on a forty-two day quest to unearth the amazing goodness of God which lies hidden in the original Hebrew language of the Old Testament. Along the way you will discover...His merciful forgiveness, His intimate love, His powerful protection, and so much more!"

This book has 226 pages which includes an English-Hebrew/Hebrew English glossary and Scripture index. There are 42 days of short devotional writings. Each day contains the Hebrew spelling of a word, the English spelling, a Bible verse that the devotional is about, a prayer, a declaration, and three questions to discuss.

So far, I have enjoyed reading each devotional and found it interesting. Learning Hebrew words and their meanings. The author also writes some personal stories from his life that relates to the topic of that day.

I wish the English word has the markings to help you sound the word out. Some are easy but others are not always pronounced exactly the way it's spelled. I think this book would be great for a small Bible study group or personal study. Excellent Bible study devotional book and worth to take time to read and study it.

Disclosure of Material: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookCrash.com book review program, which requires an honest, though not necessarily positive, review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's CFR Title 16, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."

A nice read that includes insight from the original Hebrew words, which helps readers understand God's Word more fully and how we are to apply it to our lives. Each day's reading contains a Scripture, prayer, declaration, and thought-provoking questions (which, unlike most, I actually enjoyed answering). The back of the book also contains an English-Hebrew Glossary, Hebrew-English Glossary, and a Scripture Index.

I found it very interesting and enjoyed learning the Hebrew words and the definitions. The book is a nice size and the chapters are short (I'm talking two pages long), so it is a nice devotional if you have a busy schedule. I liked each chapter and the authors writing style, it made for an enjoyable read. One thing I wasn't to fond of was how (in most chapters) the author didn't give the meaning of a word until the middle of the chapter.

Ultimately, I have to say, unfortunately, the book didn't provoke deep though for me. As stated above, I did enjoy it and for a fun read I would recommend it, but it's not a book for deep, though provoking, insight. It is good book, just not the best. If you are looking for a fun, light read about Christian living and God, this is a book I would recommend.

I received this book to review through BookCrash. I was encouraged to express my full opinion. I also want to thank both BookCrash and the publisher for allowing me to read and review this book.

Priceless Stones is a very unique, well written devotional of sorts. I was amazed to discover the many promises for kingdom living in the original Hebrew language of the Old Testament. There are 42 days in all, and each one begins with a word, word set, or phrase in Hebrew. The English-Hebrew and Hebrew-English Glossary were very useful at this point, with all the references you will need to enjoy the journey. A verse follows, with the appropriate context to match the promise the chapter is focusing on. Revoir writes a brief chapter on the topic, then provides a prayer, declaration and questions for self-reflection. I was astounded to realize how enriching it is to study the Bible in it's original language, and all the true I gleaned daily was worth not rushing through the whole book. It was inspiring, refreshing, well written, and full of treasures whose worth cannot be described in mere words. Revoir has a heart for God's word that shows on every page. He communicates God's everlasting love and long-suffering grace that is for anyone who believes. This devotional is for Christians of every stage in their walk with the Lord.

This book was provided by the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review.
