How do you love an abusive person without opening yourself up to more damage? What happens when you can't forgive and forget? With a few exceptions, I generally write reviews of books I like which means I'm somewhat biasing the overall Amazon rankings. But let me say that of all the books I like or love, none has influenced my life more than Dan ...             Old Testament Commentary Survey15 reviews Tremper Longman III Baker Academic, 2007 Does the job without wasting words This is one of the most clean, organized, and easy to use commentary surveys I have seen. It doesn't try to take on too much, and does a great job at selecting the best commentaries. The notes and 5 star ranking system are also very helpful.             Song of Songs (Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms)4 reviews Richard S. Hess Baker Academic, 2005 A Thorough and Well written commentary This treatment of the Song of Songs is valuable for all readers. The book is thorough in exploring the Song and very well-written. It is technical when it needs to be, yet is highly readable due to excellent explanations. It refers to the Hebrew text when necessary, but provides the untrained reader with enough of an explanation to be understandable. Mr. Longman takes the approach that the ...             The Cry of the Soul: How Our Emotions Reveal Our Deepest Questions About God14 reviews Dan B. Allender, Tremper Longman NavPress Publishing Group, 1994 very eye opening and relevant This book was very good reading. It was easy to follow, yet was not shallow or filled with platitudes. It causes one to truly look at the root of one's emotions and deal with them. For too long emotions have been misunderstood. One camp says that they are evil. The opposite camp states that emotions are truth. Both are wrong, and the truth regarding our emotions comes out in this book. I ...             Psalms, Vol. 1: Psalms 1-41 (Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms)2 reviews John Goldingay Baker Academic, 2006 Thoughtful, Reverant, Insightful and Pastoral Thank you Dr. Goldingay for a truly helpful commentary on the Psalms. This commentary is aimed at pastors and seminary students, (Scholars will not be disappointed either). Goldingay provides a careful and fresh translation of each Psalm, a 65 page introduction and Christological interpretation to the Psalms. Each psalm is given an introduction, and notes of translation. Dr. Goldingay follows ...             Dictionary of the Old Testament: Wisdom, Poetry & Writings (The IVP Bible Dictionary Series)1 review IVP Academic, 2008 Another Great Reference Book from IVP! This is the third volume in the Dictionary of the Old Testament series put out by IVP, and covers Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Lamentations, Ruth and Esther in 148 articles and nearly 1,000 pages.

One of today's foremost experts on biblical theology, John Goldingay covers Psalms 42-89 with his own translation of each passage, followed by interpretive comments and theological implications. "The book of Psalms is the literary sanctuary; a holy place where humans share their ...             Proverbs (Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms)1 review Tremper Longman III Baker Academic, 2006 Excellent Resource Tremper Longman knows Proverbs! His commentary is extensive but usually easy for even a lay person to use. Some of the resources in the back of the book are worth the cost by themselves!             Making Sense of the Old Testament: Three Crucial Questions4 reviews Tremper Longman III Baker Academic, 1999 Making Sense of the Old Testament Tremper Longman does an excellent job of focusing, for the Bible students, the need to understand Old Testament. The questions that he addresses concerning the need for a proper appreciation of the Old Testament are refreshing and necessary for the church today. It is a very readable treatise for anyone who wants to know why the Old Testament is inportant for Chrsitians today. I teach ...             The Expositor's Bible Commentary: Genesis-Leviticus (Expositor's Bible Commentary) John H. Sailhammer, Walter C. Kaiser Jr., ... Zondervan, 2008 This is a complete revision of the Gold Medallion-winning commentary series. It is up to date in its discussion of theological and critical issues and thoroughly evangelical in its viewpoint.             Dictionary of Biblical Imagery16 reviews InterVarsity Press, 1998 Excellent Reference The Dictionary of Biblical Imagery is an excellent reference for obtaining expanded meanings of the different words and images of the Bible. And even if it's a "dictionary", it is an enjoyable read straight through or even just when you want to hop from one entry to another. And for the price, it's a steal. Highly recommended!             The Intimate Mystery: Creating Strength And Beauty In Your Marriage (Intimate Marriage Series)2 reviews Dan B. Allender, Tremper Longman InterVarsity Press, 2005 best marriage book After 32 years of marriage, my husband and I find this to be the most helpful marriage book we've found.             How To Read Genesis2 reviews Tremper Longman InterVarsity Press, 2005 One Of The Best Books On Genesis Out There Today "How to Read Genesis" is a gem of a book. As mentioned by the other reviewer, this is a commentary that tries not to be a commentary. That is to say it does not go into intricate detail verse by verse, but the book does desire to explore the major views, considerations, and theological concerns found in the Book of Genesis. Which is a good thing indeed. A lot of people, especially, as I say ...             How to Read the Psalms (How to Read Series)3 reviews Tremper Longman InterVarsity Press, 1988 A Very Good Tool I believe that this book is a good tool to help one understand the Psalms. It is easy to read and it uses language that the common man can understand. I like how the book starts off with showing how the Psalms fit in the Bible. I like how it explains them as a mini Bible in itself. I think that Longman does a good job explaining the different types of psalms that are in the book of Psalms. I ...             Introduction to the Old Testament12 reviews Tremper Longman, Raymond B Dillard Intervarsity Press, 2007 An excellent concise overview Professor's Dillard and Longman's Introduction to the Old Testament is an outstanding resource for understanding the literary, theological, and historical background of every Old Testament book. It is evangelical in its perspective, yet interacts with historical - cricial methods of interpretation that have been prominent over the past 100 + years or so. A typical overview of each Old ...             Bold Love Discussion Guide Dr. Dan B. Allender, Dr. Tremper Longman III Navpress Publishing Group, 1992 IF CHRIST HAD PRACTICED THE KIND OF LOVE WE ADVOCATE NOWADAYS, HE WOULD HAVE LIVED TO A RIPE OLD AGE. We've come to view love as being nice. Forgiving and forgetting. Yielding to the desires of others. Yet the kind of love modeled by Jesus Christ has nothing to do with manners or unconditional acceptance. Rather, it is shrewd. Disruptive. Courageous. And, as a result, socially unacceptable. In Bold Love, Dr. Dan Allender and Dr. ...             Breaking the Idols of Your Heart: How to Navigate the Temptations of Life4 reviews Dan B. Allender, Tremper, III Longman IVP Books, 2007 Great for Bible study or small group I highly recommend this book. It is broken up in 7 chapters. Each chapter has a fiction vignette style intro to ease you into the subject. The chapters then dive into scripture. Questions at the end of each chapter are very thought and discussion provoking. Not your common boilerplate factual questions. The chapters are not too long to read, maybe 15 pages a piece. We meet once a week for ...             How to Read Proverbs7 reviews Tremper Longman InterVarsity Press, 2002 Review of "How To Read Proverbs" by Longman For a brief, nontechnical introduction to Proverbs, and wisdom literature in general, you will want this book. Longman discusses Proverbs in three sections: 1) General overview of Proverbs and wisdom; 2) How Proverbs fits into the overall theme of ancient wisdom (this includes the other wisdom books in the Bible and wisdom in other parts of the ancient world); and 3) Themes in Proverbs (money, ...             A Biblical History of Israel7 reviews Iain W. Provan, V. Philips Long, ... Westminster John Knox Press, 2003 Turns critical methodology on its head. The first 100 pages discusses the methodology of modern historiography and demonstrates how biblical critics continue to use out of date methodologies in their attempt to destroy the concept that ancient Israel actually existed. Especially telling is his discussion on testimony. They maintain that the biblical testimony about Israel's history is as valid a source as any other. Even modern ...             Reading the Bible with Heart and Mind2 reviews Tremper Longman NavPress Publishing Group, 1996 Buy this book The title of this book says it all.
