Description
Life only works God's way. That's what Solomon teaches us in the book of Proverbs. Our love lives will only work God's way too, as Solomon celebrates in his risque Song of Songs. Sadly, Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes in his old age as a record of what happened to him when he failed to follow his own advice. He warns us from experience that life really does only work God's way.
God inspired the Bible for a reason. He wants you read it and let it change your life. If you are willing to take this challenge seriously, then you will love Phil Moore's devotional commentaries. Their bite-sized chapters are punchy and relevant, yet crammed with fascinating scholarship. Welcome to a new way of reading the Bible. Welcome to the Straight to the Heart series.
60 four-page chapters taken from Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Songs

Reviews
"In taking us straight to the heart of the text, Phil Moore has served us magnificently. We so need to get into the Scriptures and let the Scriptures get into us. The fact that Phil writes so relevantly and with such submission to Biblical revelation means that we are genuinely helped to be shaped by the Bible's teaching." -- Terry Virgo

"Phil makes the deep truths of Scripture alive and accessible. If you want to grow in your understanding of each book of the Bible, then buy these books and let them change your life!" -- P J Smyth - GodFirst Church, Johannesburg, South Africa
"Most commentaries are dull. These are alive. Most commentaries are for scholars. These are for you!" -- Canon Michael Green
"These notes are amazingly good. Lots of content and depth of research, yet packed in a Big Breakfast that leaves the reader well fed and full. Bible notes often say too little, yet larger commentaries can be dull - missing the wood for the trees. Phil's insights are striking, original, and fresh, going straight to the heart of the text and the reader! Substantial yet succinct, they bristle with amazing insights and life applications, compelling us to read more. Bible reading will become enriched and informed with such a scintillating guide. Teachers and preachers will find nuggets of pure gold here!" -- Greg Haslam - Westminster Chapel, London, UK
"The Bible is living and dangerous. The ones who teach it best are those who bear that in mind - and let the author do the talking. Phil has written these studies with a sharp mind and a combination of creative application and reverence." -- Joel Virgo - Leader of Newday Youth Festival

Highly recommended!" -- Geoff Knott - former CEO of Wycliffe Bible Translators UK
"What an exciting project Phil has embarked upon! These accessible and insightful books will ignite the hearts of believers, inspire the minds of preachers and help shape a new generation of men and women who are seeking to learn from God's Word." -- David Stroud - Newfrontiers and ChristChurch London
