 If you ever wanted to go to a fundamentalist Southern Bible College, this may be for you. Aug 18, 2008
By Lester Jenkins
This is not a scholarly work. The whole thing is double- and triple-spaced to make is seem more substantial. It's not. It's embarrassing. There are grammatical and typographical errors on every other page. I think the following quotations from the book will give you a sense of just how bad it really is:
Pg 31: "Adam and Eve had control of the Garden and were told that they could eat of every tree in the Garden except one, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. They were not forbidden to eat from the tree of life and that and the layer of water above to shield the radiation contributed to their eternal life."
Pg 32: "He decided that he would trick the man and woman and take control and once again be ruler of this Earth. He entered in the Serpent, the Serpent must have been quite an intelligent animal or reptile, capable of speech. Eve was not at all surprised when the Serpent spoke to her." I threw the book in the trash at this point.

 M.E. Rosson's gives us help in understanding the books of the Bible May 07, 2008
By A. Preece
"Mary E. Preece Appalachian Author"
M.E. Rosson has taken on a task that few would or could do
and that is to write commentaries on the books of the Bible.
After having read Sandals in the Dust and Abraham and the
Middle East I knew I would like whatever Mark set out to do
with his profound yet so easily understood way of writing.
When I received the opportunity to read his latest work I
jumped at the opportunity to do so and I have not been
disappointed. Having now read Genesis and Exodus I am now
reading Leviticus.
Genesis and Exodus were so easily understood that I believe
any young person could take their Bible and follow along with
Mark's commentary and easily understand the true meaning of
what God is conveying to us through His written word from the
expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden to the
Israelites wandering in the desert for forty years making mistake
after mistake in not trusting or having enough faith to get past
their own understanding to believe God and Moses.
The story of the literal manna or bread falling from Heaven
is made so clear that finally even I understood it's
great meaning and how they were to pick it up in the morning
for five days to do them only through that day then on the sixth
they were to pick up enough to do them on the seventh. If they
tried to hoard the manna up for more than one day on other
days it spoiled and could not be eaten. The God of Heaven was
and still is in control. Explaining that God took his own finger
and wrote for Moses the ten commandments would have to
make one's spirit soar in awesome wonderment of the God of
Abraham, Isaac, Noah and Moses and to know that the same
God in their day is still the same today.
These books will be keepsakes and heirlooms for future
generations if you choose to obtain them and should be a must for
every household who wants to understand the great books of
the Bible even better.

A wonderful commentary written in such plain language Dec 10, 2007
By M E ROSSON
It has been almost 60 years since anyone has taken upon themselves to write a new Bible Commentary series. M. E. Rosson has stood upon the foundation that the Bible is God's word and can and should be interpreted literally. There will be more books in this series and I encourage you to buy them all as they will become prized possesions that you will refer to again and again.

Finally the Book of Genesis makes sense! Nov 06, 2006
By M E ROSSON
Have ever read the Book of Genesis and failed to understand the science of creation or wondered if there were Dinosaurs on the Ark with Noah? Then this is the book for you. All the facts are explained in such a way that a child can read and understand the Book of Genesis. A must read for every Christian who wants to defend their faith!
