(Softcover) This adaptation of the Beowulf epic, written for a younger audience, preserves the Anglo-Saxon verse feel of the original text. Illustrations by Sean Yates enhance the reader's experience. "Joshua GrayÕs poetic re-telling of the Beowulf epic as a tale for children gets to the essence of the action with a use of modern English which is accessible and clear for young minds, listening while busily building their own image-worldsÉ I have the sense that this new text may well encourage very young listeners, years later (after their bedtime stories are a distant memory), to recall this tale with pleasure and to discover a vibrant curiosity to know more about the doings of Hrothgar, Grendel and Beowulf." -- Benjamin Bagby, Performer of Beowulf "Gray captures both the fearsomeness of the poemÕs monsters and the artful alliteration of its Anglo-Saxon origins...Hook the kids with this version, and hope that they will return to the longer poem in later years." -- Tod Linafelt, Georgetown University

Successfully bridging the gap between Bible Study Guide and Graduate level hermeneutics
Format: Hardcover
As the tag line of my review suggests, this book is more than just another Bible study guide, but not a Graduate level text on hermeneutics. That is the stated goal of the authors, and I do believe they achieved that goal very successfully. I am not a trained theologian. I am just a Christian layman who wants to understand how to properly interpret the Word of God, using a systematic approach that is consistent and faithful to the Reformed Protestant traditions. This book is helping me get there, as long as I am ready to put in the work that comes with the content. I'll let the authors themselves describe what they mean by that... "Plunging into the Word of God is similar to sitting down at a meal. We expect to eat something nourishing, something substantial, and something appropriate to our maturity level. We want to dig into the real meat. But often we are able only to come up with baby food—soft mush for infants. This is not a reflection on the Word of God, which is loaded with meat, but rather a reflection on us and our inability to extract the meat and enjoy it. Indeed, some Christians have become so accustomed to baby food that they no longer desire the stronger food. What about you? Do you long to dig deeper into God’s Word? Do you long for a more substantial diet? Our goal in this book is to help you to 'eat well.' ... God wants to have deeper and more mature conversations with you, but if you are tied to superficial and surface readings of the Bible or if you always assume that you have already seen and understood all there is, then your relationship with God will tend to stay at the same level. ... If you want to hear and understand some of the deep and wonderful truths that God has placed in Scripture for you—if you desire to pull out of God’s Word some of the serious 'meat' he has placed there for us to sink our teeth into—you will have to exert considerable effort. It takes work—hard work! And you, the reader, have to decide whether you are content with shallow 'baby food' that comes from casual reading or you want to work for the 'mature food' that comes from serious reading." Duvall, J. Scott; Hays, J. Daniel. Grasping God's Word, Fourth Edition: A Hands-On Approach to Reading, Interpreting, and Applying the Bible (pp. 37-38). Zondervan Academic. "But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil." - Heb. 5:14 Semper Reformanda

Highly Recommended
Format: Hardcover
If you are interested in rightly interpreting the Bible I highly recommend this book! It is easy to read and understand. It has "assignments" for each chapter to practice what you've read. It takes you step-by-step on the methodology used by theologians to understand the meaning of scriptures in context, letting scripture interpret scripture. Excellent book!

Grasping God’s Word
Format: Kindle
This book opened my eyes and mind in studying God’s Word. I appreciated the breakdown by genre, and the steps to help me ‘grasp’ God’s word. It has helped me in my private devotion time.
