Fascinating, interesting, beneficial — these are some of the words used to describe Evenings with the Bible. Thirty in-depth studies of Old Testament characters and events, full of practical application and encouragement to Christians to learn from the triumphs and failures of these men and women of old. From the collapse of the united Israel under Rehoboam to the efforts at restoration by Hezekiah, Josiah, and others, and the incredible providence of God as portrayed in Esther and Job — this book is a treasure-trove of biblical knowledge and exposition.
"I was pleasantly surprised at the depth, the detail, the applications that Mr. Errett brought forth from the lives of these Old Testament characters. For the person who wants a deeper knowledge of the Bible, and who wants to see some of the reasons why "the things written before were written for our learning," Evenings with the Bible should be in their library, worn with use." -Bradley S. Cobb

ISAAC ERRETT was born in the city of New York. His immediate parents were both of Protestant families, and became identified with the Disciples in New York City as early as 1811--the father being an elder in the original Church in that place.
He commenced preaching in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the spring of 1840, and soon gave promise of the distinguished position as a preacher of the Gospel.
His ministerial labors had been divided between the work of an evangelist and pastor. He was pastor of a church in Pittsburgh three years; New Lisbon, Ohio, five years; North Bloomfield, Ohio, two years; Warren, Ohio, five years; Muir and Ionia, Michigan, eight years; and Detroit, Michigan, two years. He removed to Warren, Ohio, in 1851, and, while there, was Corresponding Secretary of the Ohio Missionary Society three years; and it was he who first put that society into systematic and active operation.
