As a minister in training, I love finding educational tools to use to test my knowledge and to use in group settings.  This book is the perfect tool, with thousands of questions from the Bible.  I found it easy to use, lots of fun and very educational.  I also realized how much more I need to learn about the Bible. 

There are 2,001 questions in the book and the information is taken both from both the Old and New Testaments and covers all topics in the Bible. The Additional Studies section has sayings from Jesus, the Psalms, John, Proverbs and the prophets.

4.  Question: What verse of the psalm tells of the fountain of life?  (page 84)
Answer:  With thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. (Ps. 36:9) (page 171)

You don’t have to be a biblical scholar to enjoy this book.  I highly recommend “Questions & Answers from the Bible” to anyone who wants to learn more about the Bible or to teach others about it. It also a great tool to use in a group setting.
