The Miracle of the Scarlet Thread Expanded Edition: Revealing the Power of the Blood of Jesus from Genesis to Revelation

Easy to understand. This one goes into my personal library to read again and to use as a reference.

Deals with the "Scarlet Thread" of God's plan of salvation through out the Bible. Gives a true understanding of the meaning of a covenant, why the animal sacrifices were required in the Old Testament to cover our sin until the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ in the New Testament was the only permanent solution for our sin.

Had the book before but some one borrowed it any never got back

I enjoyed this book, but before I give its praises, I must list a complaint first. Then, I will be able to focus on the positive aspects of this book.Interspersed throughout the book is Richard Booker's own theology, particular unconditional eternal security i.e. "once saved, always saved." I disagree with that theology and I believe the Bible says so as well (Hebrews 10:26, several others). Even Jesus said that not everyone who calls him Lord will enter the kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 7:21-28). And there are many atheists in the world who were once former pastors and/or believers in God. According to the Bible, they will not be in Heaven. And since this is not a thick book (153 pages with six pages of helpful study questions), his viewpoint distracts from the message of the book.And the message of the book is the constant theme of the blood covenant throughout the Bible, and how the Old Testament laid the foundation for the work that Jesus would complete in the New Testament. Booker gives some background information regarding covenants and identifying them in the Bible. Also, he explained the Tabernacle and priestly garments, and how Jesus fulfilled these. Great stuff! But I particurly LOVED the way he compared the 5 types of Levitical sacrifices to what Jesus did here on earth. WONDERFUL! (I always knew there had to be more than just killing animals). There's also a great section on Jesus in the Passover, which Booker explains even more in his book "Jesus in the Feasts of Israel" (another must-have book). This book gave me a greater understanding of the unifying structure of the Bible.So if you agree with Booker's salvation theology, you will love this book (maybe even give it 5 out of 5 stars!). If not, then you will still need to get this book! It is a great way to understand how the Old Testament and New Testament go together, how Jesus fulfilled what was put down in the early feasts and sacrificial system. This book definitely belongs in your library!

We are using this book in our women's bible study group to explain the connection between the old and new testaments and it is helping me to understand much better. I have tried reading this before and didn't finish it, but now I am ready to read and learn and this is very helpful. Good common sense explanations.

Excellent: I bought about 25 of these

I love this book it is so helpful and has so much information definitely want to read it

The book shows the common thread from Genesis to Revelation. There is one covenant and one storyfrom the beginning and to the end and Dr Booker shows this very well in very easy format.

An excellent book that shows how every book of the Bible is pointing to Jesus' sacrifice for all of us.

Apart from a couple of speculative points, it is a very good exposition of the cross as the culmination of a lot that went before. Also why Christ had to die a violent death.

An Excellent Book very convincing argument to prove that we are saved and kept by the atoning sacrifice of Jesus forever

Brilliant book - recommended by a friend and well worth the read.
