Comments?
Having taught as a visiting professor at John Wesley Methodist Seminary in Monterrey, Mexico, OMS Seminary in Cap-Haitien, Haiti, Interdenominational Seminary in Novi Sad, Serbia, Baptist Seminary in Yerevan, Armenia, East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, Texas, these commentaries are thorough and very helpful.
Not sure how this resource even got on here. Any insight this commentary provides has to be looked at with skepticism because of the author's connection to Ashram, a movement within Christianity in India that combines Christianity with Hinduism.

Comments?
This is a good introductory book for the study of pneumatology. Though there are some points the author stresses in making his case at the risk of diminishing other elements of the faith, the book serves a useful purpose in encouraging a Spirit-filled life.
Call me negative if you want but I do not trust Benny Hinn and I did not like this book at all.

This is one complete discipleship solution that can be used for everyone in your church. The curriculum is scalable for all-size churches and expansive enough to be used alone or as a DIY tool for developing your own curriculum. However, be forewarned; there is no upper limit to the cost because there are so many interconnect materials you can purchase.
I love how it was organized for the audience.

This is a wonderful volume that adds a considerable amount of background to each of the first five books of the Old Testament.
I used this book in my course of study and enjoyed it. I had an awesome instructor who had me pull evidence from the book to support my conclusions.
This book should be required for every personal library.
