Rave Reviews on OneBook Bible Studies
In the last few months, as we’ve begun introducing the OneBook line of Bible study resources, we’ve been blown away by the positive response of pastors and church leaders across the country. But don’t take our word for it—we’ve put together some of the outstanding comments posted on Facebook, reviewed in our store, and emailed us directly so you can see for yourself.
OneBook: The Epic of Eden video series by Sandra Richter
“Our Sunday night Bible Study finished the Epic of Eden Study on Palm Sunday. ‘Fantastic’…’Moving’…’Life changing’…’Thank you, thank you, thank you’…’She is really an amazing teacher.’ Those are just some of the comments made throughout our 12 weeks together. I want to thank you personally for the years of commitment you have made in order to bring us this teaching.”
– Pastor Walter Sizemore, Grove United Methodist Church, Grove, OK
“We are using the Epic of Eden material, and our class of about 40 adults is thoroughly enjoying it and I am too! When I first previewed the lesson on Redemption I actually teared up. So powerful. It is so helpful to my folks and you can see the light bulbs going off. “
– Scott Hearn, Grayson United Methodist Church, Grayson, GA
“The consensus among both my small groups is that Epic Of Eden is the best study leading to the most interesting conversations that we’ve ever had. These groups have done all the short term Disciples (which we like) as well as other sorts of standard fare evangelical stuff. So we appreciate it. You are doing something right and we look forward to more.”
– Talbot Davis, Good Shepherd United Methodist Church, Charlotte, NC
“My group of 18 adults just completed the Epic of Eden study. Most were long-time United Methodists and comfortable with Scripture, having participated in many Bible studies over the years. They LOVED the videos by Dr. Richter and were very complimentary of her knowledge and delivery after each one. It was a very positive experience and some of the folks were asking if I would offer the study again so they could take it a second time in order to retain all the info.
Dr. Richter broadened and challenged their life-long beliefs in a delicate yet convincing manner. Every person agreed they have a more organized understanding of the Old Testament and appreciate what the study did for their understanding of important aspects of their Christian life, like baptism and salvation. Again, this study was very, very well received!”
– Kevin Barnes, Griffin First United Methodist Church, Griffin, GA
“The Epic of Eden video study series requires dedicated participation, but it is powerful. It is totally accessible to learners at all levels of Biblical experience and effective at all levels of Biblical experience. Those who are lifelong biblical students are saying that this study ‘fills in the gaps’ about how the parts of the Bible connect. GREAT study.”
– Jan Dillard, Belgrade United Methodist Church, Belgrade, MO
“We are having 25 adults show up each week. They are LOVING this study, and I am loving seeing these adults begin to make sense of the Old Testament and God’s Redemptive Story.”
– Louis William Ellerbrook, Childress First United Methodist Church, Childress, TX
OneBook Invitation by Brian Russell
“We have about 28 people engaged in Invitation here at FUMC DeFuniak Springs. It has been a remarkable experience. Lives and understandings are being changed. People are learning things never before comprehended. It’s changing the way I preach and teach. I read about three days worth of reading at a time. I’m just consumed by it.”
– Larry Teasley, First United Methodist Church DeFuniak Springs, DeFuniak Springs, FL
“Dr. Russell does a masterful job highlighting the narrative movement of Scripture. The concise explanation of the biblical story narrative from Creation, to Fall, to Israel, to Jesus Messiah, to The Church, to New Creation truly gives an exceptional overview of the Bible in 10 weeks.
As a church discipleship pastor, I have used this study to great profit with those in my congregation from a wide variance of backgrounds. Both those who have long been students of Scripture and those who are blowing the dust off their Bible covers have benefited.”
– Gill Price, Christ Community Church, Columbus, GA
“OneBook Invitation helps connect the dots for people as they discover the over-arching story of God throughout the Scriptures. It’s like putting a seminary education into the hands of the everyday layperson in the pews. My people are loving it. Great teaching by Brian Russell and great group discussion questions which engage participants with the Word of God. 5 stars!”
– David Brasher, First United Methodist Church of Bullard, TX
“Dr. Brian Russell is a gift to the body of Christ. He puts the whole Bible together for ordinary people like no one I’ve ever seen, delivering profound biblical insight. He has a love for Scripture and a passion for Jesus that truly inspires.”
– Paul Baddour, Longs Chapel, Waynesville, NC
“Brian Russell has such knowledge on the word of God, and it shows through his enthusiasm when he is teaching on the subject. Do yourself a favor and get this study, let Brian lead you on a journey of understanding who God is and overcoming the hurdle of scripture ignorance.”
– Robert Dewitt
