This book comes across as well-researched, authoritative, and challenges some present-day theological views. Paul Devereux has a mixture of personal views and current understanding of God, the Bible and people - and he balances this well with his understanding of the Hebrew language revealed by its letters, and sound constructive arguments to add meaning to the key points he wants to deliver. The Strong's Concordance references help the reader to relate to Biblical words, but I found that while Strong's brings more meaning to a word, it can be limiting in its actual meaning in a specific verse. The author does bring a more multi-dimensional application to the word here. The way Paul introduces Bible verses relating to the word he is focusing on, brings that word to life. May the Bible, as a whole, come to life more as people read this book. This book will appeal to the person seeking truth in their relationship with God. It will appeal to those wanting deeper meaning of the Bible, particularly in the Hebrew-based writings.
Paul deals with the 'meat' more than the 'milk', so could be heavy-going for some readers. Overall, his approach is to logically, and as simplistically as possible, present his wonderful revelation of God's desire for His family relationship - and it is all unfolded in the Hebrew alphabet and language!
