The palm-sized "Everything Bible Book"

Trigilio and Brighenti's "101 Things" is an abbreviation of their successful "Everything Bible Book." With this new palm-sized volume, they've broken down the core teachings of the book into several-hundred-word mini-essays with titles like "Who wrote the Bible?", "How does inspiration take place?", and -- my favorite -- "Who was Rudolph Bultmann?" The answers the authors provide are clear, concise, and orthodox. Although it is not a Bible study per se, time spent with this book will provide additional context and understanding for the reading of Scripture. Written at a Readers' Digest level of sophistication, "101 Things" is suitable for high school students and adults. The only drawback is the translation the authors were forced to use by the publisher: the inelegant New International Version.
