Author Paul Kent brings you through all 66 books of the Bible in an easy to understand way. Each book is broken down by the author; the date it was written or the time the book covers; a ten word or less explanation of the book's theme; a synopsis of the key people, events, and messages in the book; one or more key verses; unique and unusual facts, and an inspirational or devotional thought about each book.
Reading your Bible takes on greater meaning with a helpful resource such as Know Your Bible. This book opens with the following introductory paragraph: "Through sixty-six separate books, 1,189 chapters, and hundreds of thousands of words, the Bible shares one extraordinary message: God loves you." When you think about it, isn't that really the whole point of everything included in God's Word? We make it hard, but it really is so simple.
As soon as I read the introduction, I knew I would enjoy Know Your Bible. What follows is key information that puts Biblical events in historical context and an easy to understand summary of each book. The verses will probably be familiar to you, but you appreciate them all over again as you get this snapshot into every book.
Know Your Bible will stay by my bedside so I can always have it handy when I need it. Highly recommended.
