I Love This Book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I love this book. It's all here, all the people, places, and events which make up the Bible. Virtually every page has beautiful photographs, paintings, colorful maps, timelines or charts, which accompanies the text and helps you to understand and remember it. Historical background notes and opinions by Bible scholars are also included. You could read this book just by itself and come away with a pretty good basic knowledge of the whole Bible. I like to use it to support my regular Bible reading and study. It's helped me to see "the big picture", and given me simplified explanations of difficult passages, which has been extremely helpful. The material is pretty concentrated, so I've found it's best to slow down and take your time going through it.
Supplement with The Complete Guide to the Book of Proverbs.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is a wonderful overview of the Bible illustrated with color art from down through the ages. Quotes are from the New Revised Standard Version, a translation which is favored by scholars for its accuracy. Key quotes are in red followed by comments on them. The comments are insightful, interesting and accurate. A great supplement to this book is THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BOOK OF PROVERBS by Cody Jones. Numerous characters from throughout the Bible are pointed out who illustrate King Solomon's witty observations on human nature. Many of the riddles and mysteries of Proverbs are explored with surprising new answers. Proverbs are a treasury of God's wisdom and give practical applications of Biblical values in punchy memorable sayings.
