From Genesis to Revelation in Just One Sitting: Your Shortcut to Understanding the Bible!
Have you ever wondered:
• How did the world get here?
• Who am I?
• Why am I here?
• Where does Evil come from? For that matter, where does Good come from?
How about this question - why is the Bible the highest-selling book in history?
Perhaps, the answer to the last question is that the Bible answers the former questions. If you’ve ever wondered, “What’s it all about, Alfie?” or if you would just like to get a quick rundown of Bible history, here’s a solution for you: The Bible in Brief: A Historical Summary of God’s Story from the Beginning to the End of Time.
This ebook turned out longer than I hoped, but it is still much shorter than the whole Bible. I read through the manuscript twice. Once, it took an hour and 40 minutes. The second time, it took an hour and 20 minutes. So, you should be able to read the book in under two hours if you don’t click links. If you click links and read outside material, it could easily take you longer than two hours to get through the book.
Obviously, I have omitted many details. The information I have chosen to include are the facts I believe are most enlightening as we try to understand God, our world, and ourselves.
Who might want to read The Bible in Brief?
• New Christians who will understand sermons and Sunday School lessons better when they have a general picture of the whole Bible
• Long-time Christians who haven’t quite worked out the overall view of Bible history
• Non-Christians who would like a glimpse into the world of the Bible
The Bible is a long, complex book. Many people avoid it because it feels overwhelming. However, if you avoid the Bible, you will miss the explanation for and purpose of life itself.
And when all’s said and done, your own personal story can have a happy ending or a tragic ending - it’s your choice. I believe God’s story can help you make wise decisions for the rest of your life.
To read the whole Bible is a daunting task for many. However, this ebook written by Betty Johansen is a wonderful synopsis that leaves the reader with options for deeper Bible study. Daily, I have read a section with my granddaughter in hope that it would encourage further study. This ebook has a ring of Michael Heiser’s many works but is much easier to digest. It connects the many stories, events, and special passages toward one goal. God made us, we sinned, He loves us, His blood was shed for our sins, and with a simple prayer for forgiveness, we are saved from those sins. The illustrations are beautiful and well connected to their purpose. I encourage any Christian and especially non Christian to read this summary of the most important book known. It will make further Bible study even more meaningful. It will spark interest and direct personal Bible study by providing the “big picture” of the Bible so that people can study the smaller details during individual Bible study. A good buy!
"The Bible in Brief" is a great resource for anyone looking to understand the Bible's core messages without getting overwhelmed. The author does a remarkable job condensing the Bible's vast history into an engaging and easy-to-read format. In under two hours, I gained a clearer understanding of the key events and teachings that have shaped my faith. I highly recommend it for both new and seasoned readers of the Bible!
At first, I wasn’t sure I wanted to take the time to read this book. But I’m glad I did. It only took about an hour and a half, and now I have a much better grasp of “the big picture” of the Bible.
Good one.
The Bible in Brief was just what I needed. I never understood exactly how all the pieces fit together, and this ebook helped me to finally “get it.”
I love the Bible, and I love reading the whole Bible in a year. But I decided to get the Bible in Brief while it was on sale, just to see what it was about. In one afternoon, I was able to sail through the whole story. Amazing! I really enjoyed the "ride," and I recommend it heartily to every Bible lover!
