"It was a time of heroes, of daring rescues and mighty warriors, of merciless enemies and epic battles; a time of fear, a time of revenge, a time when every man did what was right in his own eyes". Or that's how the movie trailer would go.
The book of Judges is one of the most dark and gruesome parts of the Bible, in which Israel lurches from sin to judgement to salvation and back again with grim regularity. But it is more than just history. It is written to show us the character of our God, and how He deals with His people. And it contains both strong warnings and encouragements for Christians today.
Author Mark Baddeley takes us through Judges in ten finely crafted studies, which are suitable for Bible study groups and individuals.

How interesting to look at the book of Judges and think you already know it! - until you dig deeper in this study book and realise you haven't been aware of the whole picture. There was a lot in each chapter which encouraged a lot of discussion in the group, even people who are normally not very vocal had something to say!
Interesting and thought provoking. Brings to life some difficult passages normally omitted from the most peoples Bible reading.
Mark Baddeley gets to the heart of the book of Judges. His commentary is thoughtful and informative without being too deep or involved . His questions are invaluable for discussion starters.The chapter titles are attractive as is the overall title. Although which is the Ugly judge? I have not got that far yet!
