[.ca] Our Covenant God: Living in the Security of His ... (ISBN 1578568447)

Must read for "don't knows", "in the knows", "want to knows":
Words fail me. I think this is one of the most important books we can read to begin understanding this staggering love God has for his children. Many fears are laid to rest and peace takes it place. Covenant is so huge and so wonderful and so comforting. I have ordered five of these books for family and friends and will be ordering five more. Over time, I hope to give a copy to as many people as I can. This book will be a blessing for anyone who reads it.

Disappointed: Lacks practical application:
This was my first Kay Arthur book. I am comparing it to the impact Philip Yancey's and Max Lucado's books had on me. I even listened 2-3 times through to make sure I wasn't missing something. I gained no deeper perspective of covenant with God, nor was I able to glean anything from the tapes to make 'practical application' in my life. Most disturbing was her reference to Jesus Christ going to hell after the crucifixion. This is just not true. Christ did not 'descend to Hell' to pay any 'debt' we owed. It was all finished on the cross, thusly He proclaimed, "Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit!". Also, the gospel of John records Jesus as saying, "It is finished". I cannot recommend this book.

A masterful handling of a needed subject:
Kay Arthur takes on the overwhelming task of explaining the meaning of the Covenant relationship believers have with God. She details the scripture surrounding this topic. It is a life changing concept that the Almighty God would desire even enter into this type of relatiohsip with us. It is a masterful book that deserves more than one reading.

A "must" read.:
This is an excellent companion to Kay's Precept upon Precept course on covenants. It opened my eyes to concepts that I was struggling with regarding covenants, and helped ground me even firmer in my faith in my Saviour Jesus Christ. Thanks Kay you are a blessing for us "new" Christians.
