Still concise and easy to understand, it provides clear, memorable overviews of all 66 books, with data on authors and time frames, ten-word synopses, longer (50–100 word) summaries, unique or unusual aspects, listings of key verses, and “So, What?” sections of practical application. New sections include a “Cast of Characters” for each book, an explanation of where the stories took place, and a listing of interesting quotation about each book by Christians of history. You’ll love it for yourself, or to give away in ministry.

    This was a fun read... I don't remember ever having a synopsis of a chapter during previous Bible studies or readings or teachings, outside of perhaps the author and to whom it was written, and that was only on occasion. I also enjoyed the selection of "meaningful verses" from each book. I found it fun to read the information on each chapter of the Bible, and to anyone that has interest in the Bible, I think you would enjoy it, too. I think this would make a good small group study, just to go over each book's info and then discuss.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2013

    I use this a lot. It is certainly not an alternative to actually reading the Bible, nor is it intended as such. It provides useful information. I find it helpful to read the chapter, then the corresponding book in my Bible. It provides good background information to help me better understand the actual book in the Bible.

    In reading this, I have learned things I did not know. It is also a good way to learn about each book of the bible. Knowing a basic idea of what the book is about really helps when you're reading it.

    Reviewed in Australia on November 11, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    This little book is packed full of essentials and is therefore extremely helpful and does exactly what it sets out to do however, the quotes from notable bible Bible scholars and commentators do contain ‘insights’ (term used loosely here) by top heretics C I Schofield and John Darby, please mark and avoid them and their blasphemous heresies, I cannot stress this enough. If you see their names, scroll on by…

    Other than that, thank you to the author and his team for a very valuable resource.

    4.0 out of 5 stars très bien pour découvrir la bible en autonomie
    Reviewed in France on January 3, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    les commentaires sont faits de telle façon que pour chaque livre, on a le "décor" planté : où, quand, comment, qui ?
    C'est très appréciable lorsqu'on débute l'étude de la Bible. Mais évidemment, les spécialistes devrons passer leur chemin. Ce livre est pour les personnes qui sont dans une phase de découverte des écritures et ne remplace pas un "bible handbook" ou une bible d'étude aux références étoffées.
    La raison pour laquelle je ne mets pas 5 étoiles est que les citations sont tirées de LA KJV (King James Version) en vieil anglais, peu usitée par les personnes qui étudient à l'église où la NIV (new international version) est d'avantage utilisée, surtout par les personnes dont l'anglais n'est pas la langue maternelle. Mais pour le prix modique, c'est un excellent investissement ! (en passant par amazon.com)
