"Carol Kaminski has done the Church a tremendous service in writing Casket Empty: God's Plan of Redemption through History. In this well-written survey, she has provided her readers with an accessible exposition of the fascinating message of the Old Testament. Casket Empty will enrich the understanding of all who read it, and indeed, all Christians who want to grow in their love and knowledge of God should devour this book."
- DR. TREMPER LONGMAN III, DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR AND PROFESSOR EMERITUS OF BIBLICAL STUDIES, WESTMONT COLLEGE"Here is the work of someone who has a deep love for God's people, a deep love for God's Word, and a deep desire that God's people understand God's Word. This book will greatly help you to understand the big picture of the Old Testament and will do so with remarkable efficiency, simplicity, and theological depth. I highly commend it and the entire Casket Empty system."
- DR. JAY SKLAR, DEAN OF FACULTY AND PROFESSOR OF OLD TESTAMENT, COVENANT SEMINARY"For all too long the narratives and teaching of the Old Testament have been sadly neglected, so Carol's entry is a great move in the right direction. Already so many have derived help from her Study Guide. I heartily commend this book to you if you wish to update your understanding of the earlier testament."
- DR. WALTER C. KAISER, JR. PRESIDENT EMERITUS, GORDON-CONWELL THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY"Targeted at treasure hunters of all ages, this Old Testament Study Guide supplies a trail tested, God-glorifying, and Christ-exalting journey through the storyline of Jesus' Bible. Kaminski focuses on the first half of the helpful CASKET EMPTY acronym for redemptive history. With regular reference to her Old Testament Timeline, she overviews the plot from Genesis to Malachi, detailing the major events and characters and identifying the context of death that Christ's resurrection overcomes. This is a rich resource for students, churches, small groups, and personal study. And when joined with Palmer's New Testament counterparts and accompanied by the PowerPoint materials available online, the teacher is equipped to effectively communicate God's plan of redemption beginning with creation, stretching to consummation, and centered on Messiah Jesus. This is the kind of resource that will help Christians discover their place in God's story."
- DR. JASON S. DEROUCHIE, ELDER, BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH, PROFESSOR OF OLD TESTAMENT AND BIBLICAL THEOLOGY, BETHLEHEM COLLEGE & SEMINARY"Dr. Kaminski presented the CASKET material to a standing-room-only crowd on a Saturday morning at our church. People still talk about it as one of the most helpful seminars they have ever attended. Her materials have helped to raise the biblical literacy of our entire congregation."
- BRYAN WILKERSON, SENIOR PASTOR, GRACE CHAPEL, LEXINGTON, MA"For the lay person, a story with 66 separate books is challenging. Trying to understand the timing, key people, events and storyline makes it even more daunting, yet Drs. Carol Kaminski and David Palmer unwrap it clearly. They show that the Old Testament events not only make sense, but lead to the greatest of all events - the birth, death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, which assures our own resurrection someday. Casket Empty is easy to grasp, easy to enjoy and will benefit everyone!"
