We need our children to not just see that we believe the gospel, but we need them to be part of this community.The third thing is to participate in the life of the church. We need our children to not just see that we believe the gospel, but we need them to be part of this community that really embraces gospel teaching and lives it out in a beautiful way. We need to participate in the life of the church. The fourth thing that is important is to purge from our schedules that which does not meet our ultimate goal. If my ultimate goal is to raise children who know about Christ and my greatest hope is that they would come to know him, I may have to not do certain things that other people in my community are doing. My greatest goal for them is not that they get a college sports scholarship, so I may purge certain activities from our lives so that I can make sure we're concentrating on what is most important. The last thing I would encourage is to persevere. It's hard. I like to think of life in terms of the patterns of our home rather than what a typical day looks like. You will have those moments when you're having family devotions, and everyone is looking every which way, and no one seems interested. You will think, "Is anything we are doing getting through?" I believe by God's grace it is, so we persevere. We continue to do what God has called us to do in hopes that he will use our works and our words to our children to hopefully bring them to Christ. When it comes to our families I would encourage all of us to plan, to pray, to participate, to purge, and to persevere as we try to love them well.
Scott C. Jones, Professor of Biblical StudiesThis is the best teaching grammar of biblical Hebrew available today. It has no rival. . . . What sets this grammar apart is its exegetical focus, showing at every turn the relevance of the language for biblical interpretation. This is the ideal textbook for students in colleges and seminaries who are preparing for Christian ministry.
Timothy Keller, Founding PastorHere's the book I wish I had been given, and from which I wish I had been instructed, when I was a student of Hebrew.
Walter C. Kaiser Jr., President EmeritusFullilove has found ways to make the language so accessible and yet filled with such accuracy that many who thought Hebrew was beyond their reach will find it readily and comfortably right at hand.
Ed Cook, Chairman of the Department of Semitic and Egyptian Languages and LiteraturesAn outstanding introduction to the language for beginning students. . . . deftly incorporating insights gleaned from the latest research.
James N. Anderson, Professor of Theology and PhilosophyBill Fullilove's mission is to make learning Biblical Hebrew as painless, productive, and pastorally relevant as it can be. . . . An invaluable resource. I highly recommend it.
C. A. Strine, Vice-Chancellor's Fellow and Lecturer in Hebrew BibleIts combination of features will aid instructors in teaching their students and help students to sustain their motivation to study the language, two areas in which so many other grammars fail.
