What's in the Word Bible Handbook
Description
How do you explain what the Bible is all about to someone who has never opened one? Where do you turn if you're interested in learning a little more about each book of Bible but don't want to be overwhelmed? What if you're a pastor pressed for time and looking for quick reference material?
What's in the Word Bible Handbook: Where to Begin, Who You Will Meet, and Why It Matters is a reader-friendly handbook that provides a quick summary of each of the sixty-six books of the Bible.
Written by Rob Suggs, author of The Book that Conquered Time: How the Bible Came to Be, it explains the major themes of each book, when it was written and by whom, major characters and events, what to look for, and an outline of the chapters and verses.
What's in the Word Bible Handbook isa perfect complementary book to give to someone when you are giving them a Bible as a gift. Suggs notes it says to those new to the faith, "Hey, don't be afraid. The Bible was written for you, and we're here to walk you through it."
