Amazon Synopsis:
Turn off all the noise, and get yourself comfortable. Jeremiah invites
you in. The Jeremiah Project Part 1—The Scrapbook has the bones of a study
guide but as Scripture is searched and questions are answered the study takes
on the form of a novelette. The study begins with Jeremiah’s official
appointment. Jeremiah will represent the Lord in a monumental court case that
administers justice. This case still affects us today.
The Lord had a legal and binding relationship with Israel. Their
relationship is compared to marriage in this study of God’s Word. When God
acquired Israel as a vessel-bride, Israel acquired God’s promises, which were
outlined in a living and breathing contract. The once gracious contract which
united the two parties in holy union has by legal recourse become a beast
which, in study, serves to bind the pair in its merciless grip.
The Jeremiah Project Part 1—The Scrapbook is a user-friendly study that
you cannot afford to miss. It’s like finding a few more pieces to that big
puzzle of life. Some of us have a good start at putting it all together, but
the picture of life becomes a little clearer and makes more sense after
spending some time with Jeremiah. You will find insightful information as he,
by appointment from God, delivers wisdom, comfort, and strength that will get
many through the upheaval in our world.

My Thoughts:
The Jeremiah Project (Pt 1) covers the first 10 chapters of the book of
Jeremiah. It is a very in depth look at the book of Jeremiah. It covers the
book verse by verse. Many references are made to other books and chapters of
the bible in order to help the reader understand the location and history of
what is being discussed as well as the spiritual meaning of the writing.
Questions are
presented for each section for the reader to respond to. Each of these
questions helps the reader to understand better what the author is trying to
demonstrate to the reader. Sometimes there in only one or two questions. Other
times there are quite a few questions.
The Jeremiah Project (Pt 1) would be suitable to use for a personal study,
but probably less so as a group study unless each member was dedicated to doing
minimum of at least a half hour of homework before meeting time in order to get
through the material and even at that to complete The Jeremiah Project (Pt 1) as a group study it would likely take
several months.
I liked that the questions were clear and concise and helped the reader
to visualize what is going on in the book of Jeremiah to see how that applies
to the Israelites and how it can also be applied to Christians today. Writing
the answers down gives a simple and easy document to read as a good reminder of
what the Scripture has to say, and not what the author wants us to think about.
Reviewing this book was a catalyst to me being interested again in
reading and studying my Bible on a more regular basis. Now I just have to make
it happen.
I think The Jeremiah Project (Pt
1) is an excellent way to become familiar with this Old Testament book of
the Bible. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about the book
of Jeremiah. I gave it 5 stars out of 5.
Thank you to the publishers for providing a copy of the book in
exchange for a fair and honest review. A positive opinion was not required. All
thoughts are my own.
