Samuel is a fascinating and relevant topic for the genuine student of the Bible. The intimate detail supplied in it is a treasury for human behavior studies; and how blessed we are that so many facets of Israelite history and family dramas have been recorded. This study of Samuel will suit many spiritual needs and it will be useful for its variety of approaches to the subjects in the book, particularly the in-depth investigation of the personalities' motives, idiosyncrasies, and weaknesses and strengths. Designed for the spiritually hungry this account is challenging and inspirational, bearing in mind that... 'The Old Testament symbolized good things to come, but it did not portray the exact image of those things to come' - Hebrews 10:1.
