Excellent study of the Disciples

Using this book for man's small group study. we are doing one chapter a week for 13 weeks and the book is well written and easy to study. Gives good background and insight into the lives of the Disciples with a good mix of Bible info and historical info and even legends regarding the lives of these men. Kalas's style is easy to read yet full of insight. Highly recommend for small group study or Sunday school lessons for all age groups.

Kalas at his best.

Whether you are interested in the aspostles, Kalas' writing or looking for a good solid Sunday School lesson, then you have found the book for you. I actually met Kalas several years a go and if you are at all familar with any of his writings, than let me say he is the person you read in his writings. This book focuses on the disciples and Kalas uses his typical style of hitting the subject matter from a unique angle that surely engages and causes one to think "out-side the box". If you are looking for a deep rooted, long winded study on all the disciples, then you may find yourself disappointed. If you are looking for a quick grasp and overview of the disciples or a great Sunday School lesson material, then you've found EXACTLY what you're looking for. And if Sunday School material is what you're after and you are unfamilar with Kalas, take time to read ANY of his books. They are truly in every sense of the word...GREAT! I use his books often in group studies and they never fail to open eyes and create much discussion.
