The Hebrew grammar and vocabulary was good when examples actually were drawn from the Biblical text, but I found their attempts to show what a mistaken phrase or sentence would look like to be more distracting than helpful, and also the Christian sermonizing finally became unbearable by about chapter 15! :-(
