WAY TO WHOLENESS, THE 4 reviews
RAY C. STEDMAN
Discovery House Publishers, 2005
A Rich Study of Biblical Holiness
Who among us does not grind to a halt at Leviticus when we have determined to read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation? Yet when the symbolic meaning of the sacrifices, ordinances and rituals of the Law of Moses and the Levitical priesthod are explained properly we gain wonderful insights into the fulfillment of these shadows in the one complete sacrifice for sin which was offered for us by the ...

Spiritual Warfare3 reviews
Ray C. Stedman
W PUBLISHING GROUP, 1975
Excellent insights!
It is amazing how brightly this deceased author's light is still shining! In my opinion, Mr. Stedman was truly blessed with an understanding of God's Word, but more - he had a gift of being able to write and share this knowledge with others.

Let God Be God5 reviews
Ray C. Stedman
Discovery House Publishers, 2007
A Unique, Superb Study of Job
Just recently I finished teaching through the book of Job in an adult class at church. I had Ray Stedman's sermon notes to refer to, but I also studied a dozen other commentators in preparing to teach my class. In his practical advice and penetrating insights I found Ray Stedman to be head and shoulders above the other commentaries I had in my library (or had purchased recently). Ray can not hide ...

Hebrews (IVP New Testament Commentary Series)1 review
Ray C. Stedman, Haddon W. Robinson, ...
InterVarsity Press, 1992
A Masterpiece of Biblical Exposition and Scholarship
Ray Stedman spent most of his life doing expository preaching to church congregations. He was, however a very solid scholar who read and studied widely --and remembered everything he read. This commentary, written near the end of his life, is meaty and tightly packed--worthy of careful study one page at a time. What emerges is a picture of Hebrews as an invitation to an exciting New Covenant ...

GOD""S LOVING WORD - JOHN1 review
RAY C. STEDMAN
Discovery House Publishers, 1993
Vividly clear insights into our Lord!
Ray Stedman strips away the varnish of the ages to reveal a grand and fresh new portrait of Jesus as the Son of God and the Son of Man. The text is expounded slowly and carefully missing no details and giving us insights into the Mind of Jesus and His insights into human nature. It is a great pleasure just to read through such a vivid, clear and real-life study of the Fourth Gospel.

The Beginnings (Discovery Bible Study Book)1 review
Ray C. Stedman
Word Books Publishers, 1978
Woman's prespective
One morning I went to Panera Bread for coffee and a book club of about eight middle aged women were discussing this book. I overheard some of their comments and decided to buy the book myself. I did read it from cover to cover. I thought It was a really good book for women who have a strong Christian faith. It also gave me some insight in how my wife looks at our marriage and what she wants ...

The work of a first class theologian and teacher

Authentic Christianity 5 reviews
Ray C. Stedman
W PUBLISHING GROUP, 1975
An Authentic, Powerful, and Enriching Commentary
Frankly, I was a bit perplexed by the previous review, since I didn't see much in it about the actual BOOK being reviewed! I do agree that "getting at the truth" is important. Ray and Elaine had four daughters, not five. I will leave the rest alone.
But Authentic Christianity responds to the very concerns Mr. McCluggage mentions. Ray himself wrote, "Clearly, authentic Christians present ...

WAITING FOR THE SECOND COMING 1 review
RAY C. STEDMAN
Discovery House Publishers, 1990
Biblical and today's standards of living
In my opinion: A book that tries to stand between being an academic one and a preaching. In fact it is much closer to the second. It has some traces of exegesis, but only to use them as a basis to proclaim the way we have to live as we wait for the second coming. A good book for someone who would like to compare the biblical principles and the today standards. Finally, the relevant town is ...

God's Final Word - Understanding Revelation3 reviews
RAY C. STEDMAN
Discovery House Publishers, 1991
Clear and Easy to Understand!
Based on expository sermons preached late in his life, Ray Stedman's commentary on the Book of the Revelation is clear and easy to read from start to finish. Ray had a simple style of speaking, yet he dispensed profound truth at many levels--something for everyone in the audience, whether new Christian or older. Ray's understanding of time and eternity, of the visible and invisible dimensions of ...

Highlights of the Bible: Poets and prophets (A Bible commentary for laymen) 1 review
Ray C Stedman
Regal Books, 1981
Challenges the way you see a passage and is easy to read
I found this little layman's commentary on the poets and prophets of the Old Testament recently in my library. Here are a few pro's and cons with this book. Pro's: It is very easy to read and avoids technical jargon that most people studying the bible are unfamiliar with. It is helpful in guiding a scholar on how to communicate with 'regular' people. Every passage I have looked at has been ...

Is This All There Is to Life?2 reviews
Ray C. Stedman
Multnomah Pub, 1988
Excellent verse-by-verse look at Ecclesiastes
I was very impressed with Stedman's down-to-earth writing and his explanation of Ecclesiastes really made me do some good thinking about what Solomon had to say. It is my first Stedman book, but it definitely will not be my last. Stedman gives great insite in an explanable way and I will continue to read his books.

Behind history (Discovery books)1 review
Ray C Stedman
Word Books, 1976
Why evil in the Church & is an earthly utopia possible?
Behind History does not concern itself with particular historical events but a general understanding of the nature of God's work in the world since the beginning of the Church. This is explained though the parables found in Mathew 13: the sower and the seeds, wheat & weeds in the field, mustard seed, leavened bread, hidden treasure, valuable pearl, and the fish caught in the net. There are ...

A new perspective Out Of The Ordinary
My mother shared this book for me to read. This is the first book I've read by David Roper and I am happy to say I enjoy the refreshing perspectives that has helped open my eyes to just how powerful the God of my faith truly is! "Out Of The Ordinary" highlights how even the smallest and most seemingly insignificant person and/or act, once placed in God's Hands can produce the most awesome and ...

Ray Stedman's Adventure Through The Bible
I like to read through the Bible every year. Every year I try to do this a little differently from the year before. This year I picked up Ray Stedman's book. I learned a great deal I never knew before. He is very gifted,and able to tie things together so well that story upon story all merge and fold together to reveal the amazing Adventure of God in this world. It is powerful. I got so ...

Staying on Fire in a Wet-Blanket World 1 review
Randy Petersen, Ray C. Stedman
Chariot Victor Pub, 1997
Good, but a little lacking
This is one of a series of books about earth science written by Mr. Carroll. He does an admirable effort of integrating the record of nature with the Bible and succeeds on many points. My only disappointment is that he misses several key Scriptures, such as the description of the atmosphere in Psalm 104 and Genesis 1, which could help refute the fallacious canopy theory.

WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING2 reviews
RAY C. STEDMAN
Discovery House Publishers, 2003
A Profound Study of the Olivet Discourse
Ray Stedman has quietly unravelled the mystery of the role and place of the church during the coming Tribulation period. This careful study of Matthew 24-25 is actually dynamite, yet still widely neglected by Bible prophecy students. Ray makes the case for Pre-Mill, Pre-Trib eschatology all the more reasonable--and also all the more exciting to look forward to. Those of us who knew Ray well have ...
