Everything You Want to Know about the Bible
Well - maybe not everything but enough to get you started
Description
It's been translated into more than 2,000 languages. It's changed people's lives around the world. No, it's not Thin Thighs in 30 Days... it's the Bible!
Yet the Bible remains about as well-understood to many people as your typical software license agreement – and about as exciting. That's too bad, because the Bible is exciting, and it doesn't have to be a mystery.
Whether you're new to the Bible and think the book of Job is a guide to finding the perfect career, or your rusty Bible knowledge needs a spit-and-polish, or you just want a fresh look at the book you've read so many times, this is the book for you. No dry theological treatise, it's written in an engaging, humourous style you will enjoy.
In short readable chapters, the authors first answer some basic questions: Who wrote the Bible? Is it accurate? How do you find your way around it? And how did Noah fit all those animals into the ark anyway? (well, maybe not that, but there's still plenty of trivia in there.) Then they take you on a guided tour from Genesis to Revelation, summarising important people, events, and themes. You'll get a good foundation for understanding and an excitement for reading this most important of books, the Bible.

Customer Reviews
An excellent bible overview
Highly informative; excellent for those wishing to find out about the bible for the first time, and also useful as a reference for those whose knowledge of the bible is already relatively sound. It's chatty style makes it very easy to read.
