Wow, it's been over 4 years since I've posted here. And the books I'm going to tell you about are so good and so important, this could be the last post for another very long while.
It's all about the great wisdom and life lessons available in the Torah (first five books of the Bible).
Dennis Prager has worked all his life putting this Bible commentary together. And it's based purely on reason. You need not be religious to appreciate these five books (Genesis through Deuteronomy). Only the first two are out right now, the rest are coming.
It changed me. Once I started reading I was hooked. Couldn't get enough. In a matter of a couple months I've been through the first two books twice each (each is about 500 pages). And my life is changed. Or renewed. Or focused.
Those of you who know me know that I grew up in a Christian home, my father was a Presbyterian minister his entire career. We got married in the church. We raised our kids in the church. And with only a few periods of "stepping back" we were pretty well churched. I was a church choir director, we led youth groups and puppet troupes, taught Sunday School, sat on boards and committees, etc. And I have been known to create and teach adult Bible study curriculum... I am amazed by how much I missed, or forgot. Or forgot to fully appreciate.
So guess what I did with this?! I created an adult Bible study using Prager's Genesis and Exodus as the textbooks. It's really just a highlights reel. In 8-10 hours of class time total you can only scratch the surface. And since we're in COVID Time, it's online, anyone can join in from anywhere: https://www.worshipweekly.com/God-is-Good.html
