Summary: MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
Review: I began reading Jeanette McKenzie's book with interest since I am quite knowledgeable in the subject she was writing about. Having been a Pastor for over 20 years, I was anxious to see how she would present this information. I wondered if it would be 'preachy' or given to the people in a tender,understanding way. The author takes all of the Spiritual truths that are needed from the Word of God and presents them to the reader using Bloom's Taxonomy of cognitive brain development. Now, don't let that big name scare you away! The author really does a wonderful job of using these concepts in teaching the reader how to raise their spiritual level and get the most out of their spiritual walk. As Christians, we are always striving to have more understanding of God's Word and His principals. Using the six levels of the taxonomy she applies them to knowing the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, prayer, fasting, faith and answered prayer, among others.
She does an excellent job in presenting her information. I feel someone wanting to truly grow in God's Word would benefit greatly from applying her format. Higher Order Thinking Skills For Spiritual Abundance would make a good complimentary book to your Bible. And would be an excellent companion book for those wanting a deeper walk with the Lord.

Summary: Revisit your former training!
Review: Your momma may have read it, your papa may have read it, but, God bless the child that reads and studies the Bible themselves. "Higher Order Thinking Skills for Spiritual Abundance" inspires the reader to revisit their religious education from the very beginning, by using fundamental building blocks. These blocks are knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, evaluation, and synthesis -- build on one another just like reading, writing and arithmetic. After you have mastered each subject, there are worksheets to reinforce and supplement your training, just like in the classroom. These skills are the foundation of a solid spiritual life, concepts we already know, but we got side tracked along life's highway. It's always good to have a gentle reminder. Jeanette McKenzie firmly but lovingly asks for our undivided attention. With King James and the New International versions of the Bible as her textbooks, she educates applying the Benjamin Bloom's six principles for cognitive brain development. I felt as if she pulled me outside of the classroom door, scolded me for not doing right, but reminded me I could start fresh when we returned inside. Using her 20+ years of teaching experience, Ms. McKenzie demonstrates the ability to motivate. I recommend "Higher Order Thinking Skills for Spiritual Abundance" for those seekiing to revisit their former Sunday school training.
