I would recommend this book to the new adventurer of the Old Testament so that they could get a general perspective on the text without being forced to read the entire Old Testament. A basic theological understanding of the Old Testament is important to the new explorer so that scripture is not taken out of context by others so that a person is not led-astray. My only problem with the text was on page 81 where it says " The bisexual nature of humankind suggest that love is the basic human relationship on the natural level, ect". I was slightly agitated with that particular portion, but other than that the entire book is more than recommended.
