Book Overview

*Now with links to video content online It's been called "the most misunderstood book in history."Wars have been fought in its name, scandals have been precipitated by it, politics shaped and reshaped at its word. Theologians have both defended and reviled it. Skeptics have done the same. If you are a typical member of the human race, you have often been perplexed by all the "fuss" surrounding the Bible. The question remains, "What does it really say?"Here is a book that explains the greatest of Bible themes clearly and logically. Rather than focusing on one part-and missing the whole-the author chronologically binds together the entire text into one great universal drama, looking at events from the perspective of those who experienced history in the making. The results are sometimes comical, sometimes frightening-but always true to the intent of the text.When you are done reading it, you may find yourself believing "the Book" like you never have before. Or you may decide not to. The author's objective approach leaves that decision up to you."Even though I had attended church for over 30 years, the Bible never made sense to me. It was just a bunch of disjointed stories. Now the Bible all fits together in a clear, logical manner. It really is incredible."John R. Cross writes from knowledge gained in a life-long study of the Bible. He has extensive experience travelling and living abroad. John and his family are from Canada.

Great book that everyone needs to read.

This book is an excellent book for a survey of the entire Bible. This book is not exhaustive, but it covers the key stories and themes. The book's strength is that it shows the reader that the Bible has one consitent message throughout. This book is easy to read, but not simplistic. It is not an academic book, but academics can get something from this book as well.

A Great Companion to God's Wonderful Word

This book contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable...

A Great Read for those New to the Bible AND those familiar

This book is one of the most sensible books about the Bible that I have read. It discusses the Bible in chronological order. It begins with the easier concepts. It avoids being overwhelming. Best of all, it draws the whole Bible together -- pointing out the major themes. Yet, although clearly worded, it is not simplistic.The title refers to Luke 24:13-35, where Jesus himself explains to two disciples, "...beginning with...

Perfect for everone in their different walks of life

I was introduced to this book by my fiance last year. I was so impressed with it and its clear presentation of the Bible that I loaned it to my father, who is now using it for his sixth grade Bible class. I am currently using the book with two inner-city girls clubs that I help to run. The girls are really learning a lot from this book, as well as the leaders. Many leaders have never been exposed to this kind of teaching and...

THE STRANGER ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS

The Bible records the story of two individuals walking from Jerusalem to the town of Emmaus. They were in deep discussion. Just a few days earlier, Jesus of Nazareth had been crucified outside the city walls. The topic of discussion between the two individuals was centered on what they just heard; several people in Jerusalem were dogmatically claiming to have seen Jesus alive. As they walked along discussing these stories/claims,...
