"My students at Bible college here in Kampala thoroughly enjoyed this series and regularly commented how greatly appreciative they were to Paul Blackham and his team for modelling how to teach the Scriptures in such a clear, persuasive, faithful and well-applied manner. You have made a big impact on some future church leaders here in Uganda -keep up the good work!"
Chris Howles, Uganda Martyr's Seminary, Namugongo
"After being approached about the possibility of offering a Bible Study, we found you organisation on the internet. We believe the Lord led us there! We have acquired a number of your DVD's and are currently showing a session week by week your study on Paul's letter to the Philippians. Between 30 -35 people are sharing each week; for some it is a new experience but everyone has been very positive and it's great to learn and encourage one another as we meet together. We are involved in supporting the +55 age group in our church and go under the title of Grand Adults. We want to thank you for producing such an excellent series and we hope to study more books of the Bible through your DVD series in the future. God bless you."
Bob Woolley
"The Book by Book series has for several years provided challenge, structure and laughter to our fortnightly home group meetings. The material encourages us to personally engage in Bible study, to prepare in advance of our get-togethers. In so doing, it adds depth to our face to face discussions. This was particularly and revealingly so in the study on Isaiah. Through the dedicated notes and video, the 66 chapters of this pivotal Old Testament book came into fresh relief. So too did the many of the prophesies that Jesus fulfilled in his life on earth. Thank you for this resource, for your investment in our lives."
Cora Lynn Heimer Rathbone
"I have found the Book by Book Study Guide to be a remarkable learning document. We have been able to have a lively and searching discussion on the subject and points arising, stimulated by the guide, and have finished the session by watching the video. The DVD's have helped to clarify issues we have sometimes stumbled across during the evening and have helped to elucidate the whole study.
I was not brought up to study the Bible in my youth, as my father was a Humanist, and I was precluded from going to church. I became confirmed when I was 25 and have since read Scripture Union "Daily Bread" on a regular basis. However,the study guide on Isaiah has been an "eye-opener". The depth and remarkable prognostications in Isaiah have made me recognise the wisdom and richness of the knowledge available in one of the Books of the Old Testament. The Study Guide has helped to motivate our group, to keep it well informed , and to stimulate & challenge us in our studies."
Bernard Dawkins
"Book by Book is meaty, it's heart-felt, it's Christ-focused. It's Matthew Henry for a television age.
I can give no bigger recommendation than this: my mother's bible study group have done every single one of them back to back. They get to the end of one study, shop around for another pre-produced study then go straight back to book by book for more! Once you've had steak, why settle for a cheese sandwich?"
Rev Glen Scrivener, All Souls Church, Eastbourne
"Joy in the word, depth of insight, pastorally sensitive, theologically sharp and yet accessible to anyone. This is a unique resource which will bless the soul and stir hearts to deep devotion to our wonderful Saviour Jesus."
Rich Owen, Assistant Pastor, City Evangelical Church, Leeds
"As a church by the coast, we have a regularly changing congregation with a wide range of ages and Christian backgrounds. The church has five house groups and one of these has been using Book by Book for a couple of years or more, and encouraged another to use it last year, since it provides such an an excellent base of teaching which can then lead on to discussion and prayer. This has been such a success that all the house groups will be using Book by Book next term.
Thank you for providing such an excellent resource for the encouragement of God's people here in North Devon."
Paul Ginnings
"Book by Book is a wonderful insight to the scriptures. For the first time Exodus through to Deuteronomy made it very clear and easy to understand. Hearing Paul Blackham is brillliant, his knowledge is incredible! The guests he has on his programme are wonderful examples, eg. Stephen Lungu was great, I went and bought his book.
Praise the Lord that you will be able to continue. Your work is invaluable."
Robert King
"My wife and I watch "Book by Book" every day on UCB TV and because of this have obtained all the series on DVD's with Paul's books. In addition we have bought several copies of certain DVDs for family and friends together with other books which have been mentioned during the studies e.g. books by K.P.Yohannan, Stephen Lungu and Anne Graham Lotz.
I am a retired but active Baptist minister and really value the quality of teaching in these studies. They are so Biblically based and full of enthusiasm and wisdom. We can't speak highly enough of their quality and would commend them unreservedly. They have depth yet are readily understood and are a great source of encouragement.
We eagerly await news of any new study that becomes available. Please continue until you have covered the whole Bible! God bless you all."
David Nunn (Rev)
"A heartfelt thanks for the Book by Book series. We have used every study since the series began and have been educated, challenged, and inspired by them all. It is a privilege to be able to listen to such wonderful Bible scholars, each coming from such varied backgrounds. As a very small group we would never be able to book speakers of such calibre, so each study is doubly appreciated."
Joan & Brian Rigby
The Discovery Group, St John's Walton
"I think Book by Book is a fantastic resource - no other modern Bible study series takes the whole context of the book as seriously as this - within the whole context of Scripture. Getting a group to do the Book by Book material for a year is guaranteed to transform how you think about the Scriptures - and Jesus!"
Dev Menon
"Paul Blackham's series, Book by Book, is one of the few available study series today which takes seriously the early Church (and scriptural) teaching of the pre-existent Christ. In that sense, the series challenges disciples with a fresh look (from the eyes of the ancient Christian) at passages we had thought we knew so well. It rewards us with the fruit of a new confidence in the everliving Word and the unchanging Lord God."
Edward F. Duffy
Adjunct Professor of New Testament Greek, Hartford Seminary, Hartford, Connecticut, and Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Fairfield, Connecticut.
"It is good to know, in this 21st Century that we have a theologian of Paul's calibre producing the Biblical exposition as evidenced in 'Book by Book'. The contributions of Richard Bewes and guests are so helpful and compelling."
John Hill
"My wife, Irene and I attended All Souls Church, London, during our student days in 1980s and we still do when we visit London. We came across the Book by Book DVD series and have introduced it to our church, St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Kuala lumpur, Malaysia 2-3 years ago. We use the Book by Book material for our Adult Christian Education classes on Sundays and for some of our church's fellowship groups."
Dr. C. J. Lim
"I just wanted to encourage you and tell what tremendous benefits we are getting from these series. The DVD was so easily understood by 'ordinary people' and inspiring."
Ruth Collins
"All of the folk who have studied Exodus found it was the best they had ever done and opened up the Bible in a wonderful way."
Nic Deane, Rector of Chadwell St Mary
"We have learnt a lot from the book which accompanies the DVD."
Joan Tittmar
"Our Fellowship has been studying Exodus. WOW. What a lot has been learnt."
Nina Barker, The Woodside Christian Fellowship
"How exciting to see members of the house group really looking forward to the next session of Book by Book. We can now understand the New Testament as a result of our Old Testament studies with Book by Book!"
Rev Colin Renwick, Heswall
