These five books strike at the heart of the Old Testament, both organizationally and figuratively. Whereas the previous books were historical in content, these are experiential in content and poetical in composition. Whereas the former ones led up to or focused on subjects dealing with the nation of Israel, these present books, referred to as the "Writings", deal with individuals. They reveal that God is not simply a sovereign Being who makes decrees and gives commandments showing forth His judicial nature, but also one who desires to have a personal relationship with those originally created in His image. These are the books we are most likely to read even though we may know little of Old Testament history or prophecy, for they tell us much about ourselves and about this endearing personality of God.

Each of these books is outlined in WRITINGS (TOPICAL DETAIL). Read them in detail to discover their applicability to each and every one of us.
