    Lessons From the Old Testament Series

    By Jonathan Turner

    ()

    About this series

    This book is part of a multi-volume survey of the Old Testament. The twenty-one lesson plans in this volume cover the Conquest of Canaan and the time of the Judges – one of the most chaotic and turbulent eras in Israelite history. In spite of the sometimes unsavory incidents involved, the lessons, which are suitable for both teenagers and adults, stress the positive. Topics include: the fall of Jericho, the Gibeonite deception, the career of Gideon, the capture of the Ark of the Covenant, and much more. Three of the lessons are on one of the most beautiful love stories of all time, that of Ruth and Boaz.

    Each lesson emphasizes principles which are relevant to life today. Examples of applications are: making and keeping vows, overcoming the past, overcoming bitterness and restoring a relationship with God.

    In addition to the lessons, Mr. Turner includes an essay on the nature of God. In it he explains how a loving God can also command things like genocide.

    Other books in this series deal with different periods of Old Testament history. Titles include: Beginnings and Patriarchs, Exodus and Wanderings, The United Monarchy.

      This book is a survey of the Old Testament from the Creation through the life of Joseph. Teachers of teenage and adult Bible classes will appreciate the twenty-eight well organized and thought provoking lesson plans in this volume. Topics include: the fall and God’s promise of redemption, the flood and restoration, the dilemma of God’s justice, the faith of Abraham, the choice between Salem and Sodom, the life of Jacob, and much more. The lessons are deep enough to hold the interest of those who are already familiar with the Bible, yet simple enough for those who are new to the Bible to understand. In addition, the lessons are practical. They emphasize principles which students can apply to their lives. Examples of applications are: recognizing and avoiding sin, overcoming environment, choosing friends and associates, choosing a mate, and restoring broken relationships. The author also includes an essay on the art of teaching. In it he discusses the purpose of teaching and shares a simple acronym to help teachers remember the elements which make a class effective. Other volumes in this series explore the rest of the Old Testament period. Titles include: Exodus and Wanderings Conquest and Judges The United Monarchy

      Exodus and Wanderings continues the survey of Old Testament history Mr. Turner began in his book, Beginnings and Patriarchs. The seventeen lesson plans in this volume cover the time-period from the Israelites’ slavery in Egypt to just before their crossing the Jordan river in order to enter the land of Canaan. A few of the topics are: Moses’ call, judgments on Egypt, revolt in the desert, and Balaam’s prophecies. Aside from the “Exodus” from Egypt the defining element of this period is the covenant God established with the Israelite people by means of the Law of Moses. Teachers and students alike will appreciate Turner’s concise summaries which cut through the sometimes mind-numbing complexities of key features of the Law, and Tabernacle worship. Each lesson not only explains the biblical text and events, but emphasizes practical applications for Christians today. Among these applications are: waiting for God’s timing, living holy and consistent lives, dealing with criticism and discouragement, keeping promises, and entering covenant relationships. In addition to the lessons, the author has included an essay on the Exodus. This book is part of a series. Other volumes include: Beginnings and Patriarchs, Conquest and Judges, The United Monarchy
