The first part of this book is an extensive verse-by-verse commentary on the Book of Jubilees. Kugel's stated aim is "to understand what the text is saying and why it is saying it," and in particular to explore the numerous bits of biblical interpretation found in Jubilees and their connection to other exegetical writings of the Second Temple period. Subsequent chapters focus on the possibility that Jubilees had more than one author, as well as on the book’s specific relationship to four other Second Temple texts: the Genesis Apocryphon, the Aramaic Levi Document, 4Q225 Pseudo-Jubilees, and the writings of Philo of Alexandria.

In many ways, James is the forgotten epistle of the New Testament. Throughout church history the Epistle of James has encountered struggle, opposition and just plain neglect. In the period of the early church, it struggled to receive full acceptance in the canon of Scripture. At the time of the Reformation, it faced fierce opposition, particularly from the great Reformer Martin Luther. Luther dismissed the epistle outright, referring to it as an epistle of straw. Luther also charged that James mangles the Scriptures and thereby opposes Paul and all Scripture. In our modern age, James has suffered from both lay and scholarly neglect. When it comes to the New Testament epistles, the writings of Paul, Peter and John garner most of the attention. James and his epistle have been largely ignored and neglected throughout history. This is unfortunate, because it has much to say to us particularly regarding the crucial subject of the Christian life. Perhaps no other letter in the New Testament so comprehensively addresses the Christian life as does the Epistle of James. It is the purpose of this book to explore the Christian life through the panoramic lens of this grand epistle.

I have heard many people say, "I read my Bible but I just don't get anything out of it." So, I decided to share my Bible journal with my church in the hope that they would read through the Bible with me. In the process, I shared a lot of life and admittedly plenty of funny stories about my life and experiences. I had to include them because I didn't want this to be purely an academic exercise. I wanted it to be a practical devotion that touches real life. While they were reading through with me, many of them told me that I needed to get it published. That's why it's sitting on the shelves today. There are plenty of ways to read through the Bible. I started out reading cover to cover for years. From there I moved to a Chronological Bible plan. Then one day, a pastor friend of mine gave me a Life Journal. It takes you through the Old Testament once and the New Testament twice throughout the year. I like this plan because every day, you get some of the New Testament. Even if you don't decide to read this plan or my book; please choose to read through the Bible some way. God's Word in your life is what I pray for you.
About the Book You might say that the Psalms stand in the center of all scripture. For they speak of experiences, the very center of life itself. The Psalms beckon us to a rock-solid faith which will provide us the victories over life’s troubles, even if we foist them upon ourselves. There are many of us who return to them repeatedly to hold fast to that which we have attained. Gordon D Fee and Douglas D Stuart categorized the Psalms for us in this way: Laments–we all go through tough times and we learn from these Psalms that we are not alone in our struggles, and that God is able to help and strengthen us. Thanksgiving Psalms, Hymns of Praise, and Salvation History Psalms have elements of praise which elevates our understanding of God’s faithfulness, protection, and benefit. Eight Wisdom Psalms and ten Psalms of Trust promise the reader of the goodness and care of God and provide us with the vision of a victorious life. Ultimately, the Psalms are intentional, their vital purpose is to forge a connection between the worshiper and God, whether in a cathedral or prayer cell. For generation after generation, mankind has sung and prayed the Psalms. About the Author Lt-Colonel Norman H Voisey completed 40 years of service in The Salvation Army where he was a Trustee, having served also in that capacity for three of their hospitals. His application to reserve Section 8 funding for Senior Housing in Cincinnati was secured for their Booth Residence. Voisey was educated in Canada but in the United States, he continued studies at The Salvation Army Training College, Pace University, and Case Western Reserve University. Voisey is an avid reader of Judaic thought, a student of spiritual and literary greats, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Harold Bloom, Cynthia Ozick, and Elie Wiesel. He leans heavily toward nonfiction, but classic novels continue to nurture his experience. He loves poetry, sports, genealogy, music and the arts. As a member of the New York Staff Band for 16 years, and as the leader of youth music and Christian interpretive dance groups, Voisey has brought ministry to the United Kingdom, Europe, the Far East, Estonia and Russia. Voisey is close to confirming his Huguenot Ancestry and the story that his forbears were driven from Voisey, France to John Calvin’s Geneva, and eventually to Devonshire and finally to Windsor, Ontario, his birthplace.
