I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Aside from the fresh look at the Pearl of
Great Value parable, I especially enjoyed the addendum addressing the gifts
brought by Magi to a young Christ Jesus.
~ Benjamin Potter
an accomplished writer... informative and interesting... I really enjoyed the book and appreciate your "graceful" approach to interpreting the scriptures. ~ Maggie Harding
This is an excellent Bible study. Mr. Russell really develops
insights that I hadn't appreciated before in One Precious Pearl. He writes clearly so that the material is
easily understood by both clergy and laity. It was very edifying for me to read.
~ William J. Petersen, Emeritus Senior
Acquisitions Editor, Baker Book House and Fleming H. Revell
"Mr.
Russell has shown his best work, in the development of the concept of the
Church as a pearl of great price. Throughout this study there is a development
of analogical thought, where the latent imagery of the pearl is made clear for
the modern reader.
"His
content is superior throughout. He has drawn on a natural science and Biblical
thought without violating either. I have learned a great deal about the concept
of a pearl and have appreciated more the concept of the Church as the Pearl of
Christ." ~ Ronald B. Allen, Senior Professor of Bible
Exposition, Dallas Theological Seminary
I
will never think of a pearl in the same light again. I absolutely love the way
you have drawn a parallel between the pearl and the Church. This is inspired! ~ Elizabeth Hightower, Women's Ministry Leader, Laurelwood
Baptist Church
We
have been Christians for over 40 years, but never have been so enlightened and
enriched as we have been by the in-depth study of the One Precious Pearl. You have
given us new meaning and insight. ~ Jerry & Maureen Shoop, Senior Pastor
(retired)
