A Thoughtful Devotional for Year-Round Inspiration

"Understanding the Unseen" is an accessible devotional. While its primary focus lies in the context of the advent season, its insights and teachings are universally applicable and relevant throughout the year. The book not only imparts valuable knowledge on interpreting Old Testament readings and the concept of God assuming a physical form, revealing Himself as a man, but also delves into ancient beliefs and offers intriguing insights into various aspects of the Bible and deities.

Yes!


No fluff just good biblical studies and facts. The narrator was good and so was the book. God makes Himself known in many ways. Thank you for the spiritual nourishment.

Exploring Faith

Listening to this audiobook was an eye-opening experience for me. As someone who wasn’t familiar with the intricacies of Christian beliefs, particularly the concept of a Triune God, this audiobook offered a fascinating glimpse into a world I knew little about. The way it delves into the Old Testament to reveal the roots of this doctrine was incredibly enlightening. Dr. Michael S. Heiser’s explanations about the ancient Israelites' understanding of God, especially the idea of two Yahwehs, one visible and one invisible, made complex theological concepts accessible and intriguing. This audiobook not only educated me about a significant aspect of Christian faith but also provided a new perspective on biblical passages I’d heard of but never fully understood. It’s a compelling listen for anyone curious about the foundations of Christian doctrine and the historical context of these beliefs

Exploring a Understanding of God!

What I like about "Understanding the Unseen" by Warren J. Thomas, is that you learn a different understanding of who is God. You discover Ancient Near East Authors view of God, details of Moses conversation with God, and learn about the use of a Faith Life Study Bible. If you enjoy exploring the different ways of people's understanding of God, this is a nice book to add to your listening library.
