GOD IS PRESENT

I have never preached my way through 1 and 2 Kings; like many of us, I suspect, I have dipped into some choice sections, but I have never set myself the task of a complete series.
So John Olley deserves our thanks — for committing himself to expound both books, and therefore challenging us to do the same. The Bible Speaks Today (BST) series is, of course, aimed at a Christian’s personal reading and for pastors in preparation. I have benefitted from the first as I have worked my way through, and it would be on my desk regularly as I worked on the text. Olley has an ambitious task, and has accomplished it with consistent helpfulness. This is a very good exposition of a difficult book.
