Straight to the Heart of Solomon Summary

Straight to the Heart of Solomon: 60 bite-sized insights by Phil Moore

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.

Straight to the Heart of Solomon 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
Fresh. Solid. Simple. Really good stuff. -- R. T. Kendall
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
Phil Moore's new commentaries are outstanding: biblical and passionate, clear and well-illustrated, simple and profound. God's Word comes to life as you read them, and the wonder of God shines through every page. -- Andrew Wilson - Author of Incomparable and If God, Then What?
Want to understand the Bible better? Don't have the time or energy to read complicated commentaries? The book you have in your hand could be the answer. Allow Phil Moore to explain and then apply God's message to your life. Think of this book as the Bible's message distilled for everyone. -- Adrian Warnock - Christian blogger
Phil Moore presents Scripture in a dynamic, accessible and relevant way. The bite-sized chunks - set in context and grounded in contemporary life - really make the Word become flesh and dwell among us. -- Dr David Landrum - The Bible Society
Through a relevant, very readable, up to date storying approach, Phil Moore sets the big picture, relates God's Word to today and gives us fresh insights to increase our vision, deepen our worship, know our identity and fire our imagination. 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
