Excellent

When you lack a framework it's very difficult to understand anything. The interesting decorations of a home would mean nothing if there were no framework to attatch them too! This is what this book has done for me, given me a framework to attach these stories too. Many of the stories in the bible come to life when you know and understand what happened before and after and how the people who had the experiences might have thought. It really has brought to life the power of God for me and his complete plan from the beginning of the Bible to the end! I would recommend this to any level of Christian. I have been a Christian for 15 years and this has been an excellent tool for both learning and better equiping me to witness.

great for beginners and old-timers alike!

I'm enjoying this book so much because it gives key points and lessons so clearly that it makes me eager to learn and know more. It has made me eager to read my bible again.

Wonderful, helpful text

This is an excellant tool for beginning Christians as well as those of use who have been with the Lord for a long time. This book gives a superb overview of this massive work, yet still manages to hit the details as well.

Doesn't make it simple, just much easier to understand

Cute icons, study questions, direct verse references, and opinions from the top Bible experts in the world all add together to equal one of the greatest Biblical-study and reference texts ever. No other book that I have seen can match The Bible: God's Word for the Biblically-Inept for it's insight on confusing areas of the Bible and its easy-to understand language and design. This book has been a marvelous addition to my Bible-study group. We just can't wait to get started on Revelation and Daniel.

Thes best break-down of the Bible I have ever seen

This book is quite simply the best. I have read many other "guides" to the Bible, but none have come close to this work. It looks at the most intimidating piece of literature ever printed in a great deal of depth, yet makes it all too clear. I recommend this book for anyone who has not found God, has found Him but doesn't fully understand him, or has a solid knowledge of the Lord but wants to know even more. From beginners to Bible historians, this book can help us all. In light of the advanced moral decay in almost every aspect of our nation, we need this book to help explain God's Word to us.
