Smart Guide to the Bible (The Smart Guide to the Bible Series)

Overall a good way to get a clear and concise understanding of each book of the Bible. Many good charts, wish there were more maps.

I found this book for $5.00 in Family Dollar today. So far, I have really enjoyed reading it. I can't put it down. It explains the Bible so simply that almost anyone should be able to understand it. It provides that background knowledge of the Bible that most of us may not get by reading the Bible on our own. I highly recommend it for those who want to understand the Bible better.

I have the original version of this book (God's word for the Biblically Inept) I use it all the time when I read the Bible. I recently bought it for some friends who want it for personal use as well as for teaching the teens in our church. It's a fun approach to the Bible

This is an excellent introduction to the Bible - by far the best I've seen. It manages to be both simple and fairly comprehensive and should serve its reader well as a companion to the Scriptures. One caveat: As always, everything in its pages should be compared to the Bible to determine if it's true. In particular, I noticed that he ignores some key verses in Revelation (1:1, 22:10, etc.) that would seem to contradict his millenial, far-future interpretation of that book. All in all, a superb overview of the Bible, especially for new students.

This is a fantastic supplement to reading the Bible, especially if it is your first time through...
