Balm in Gilead

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“"While remaining faithful to the biblical and historical material, Ms. Hammond has given us an interesting account of the life and times of Jeremiah. She has succeeded in making a scholarly work not only educational but entertaining as well. As a minister who was involved in teaching, I was grateful when I found resources that helped with presentation of difficult material in story form, made the order of chronological events understandable, and brought some uniqueness to an old familiar story; 'Balm in Gilead' accomplishes this.”
