Unlock the Bible in 30 Days

Author Colin Smith takes a very high level overview of the Bible story in his book Unlock the Bible in 30 Days. The book provides a view of the Bible as a consistent story with mountain peak highs followed by low valleys. Throughout the book part of the focus is on pointing out a single thread flowing through the Bible. That single thread is a plan of redemption. The book is divided into three parts with part 1 covering the Old Testament, part 2 covering the New Testament, and part 3 dealing with living in the Spirit. For most people who have been Christians for a long time this is too general a view of the Bible and will provide nothing they don't already know. However, for young Christians or a class for new Christians Unlock the Bible in 30 Days is a recommended read that ties the various Bible stories into a consistent theme.

We did this as a group study at my work and we thought it was great! A quick, easy read that lead to some great discussion. I would recommend it to new and young followers of Chirst Jesus, too. A little light on the Old Testament, it still does a fine job of showing how Christ is through all of The Bible and should be in your life, too!!
