“Enhanced Study”
(Review written for 'Nehemiah: God's Building Project')
Nehemiah: God’s Building Project, is a guide to Nehemiah as a companion piece to Nehemiah For You, both by Eric Mason.
Mason includes eight studies in his guide, presenting a robust way to dig deeper into God’s Word. Each study begins with a Story So Far section, giving background and context to the current verses. Talkabout sections are icebreakers that are relevant to the passage. These would be helpful if you are preparing a Sunday School lesson, or even a sermon on the passage to open or illustrate.
Enhanced Study
The Investigate section asks questions of the text, allowing the reader to follow along and understand. Dictionary segments are helpful, including words such as consecrate and cubit, as well as people and places such as Zerubbabel and Mount Sinai. Getting Personal and Application sections are also included.
A Leader’s Guide is included at the back of the book, serving as an answer key. What I found most helpful were the Big Idea and Summary sections. These will prove to be crucial to small group leaders, but I think they would be especially useful to children’s teachers and ministers. This guide is a great addition to enhance your study of Nehemiah.
I received a media copy of Nehemiah: God’s Building Project and this is my honest review.
