Have you ever been poked in the eye? Or have you ever gotten a speck of dust in your eye and learned how it takes just the tiniest piece of grit to cause the severest amount of pain? The smallest particle of dirt has the ability to incapacitate the biggest and strongest of men when…
The God of peace be with you today. B&H has slowly but steadily been discounting the Kindle editions of every volume in their Christ-Centered Exposition commentary series.

Robert Hubbard, Jr. – The Book of Ruth (New International Commentary on the Old Testament, 1989).

Nevertheless, if a preacher does choose to…
I had more difficulty sorting through the options for Leviticus than I had with any of the previous books. The top recommendation was very clear, but after that it was quite a bit more cloudy. In the end I chose commentaries that were recommended by multiple experts and that were both conservative and Evangelical in…
