In a straightforward and panoramic style, this book helps us gain an overall perspective of the Bible – understanding its flow and how it all fits together. We receive an overview of the Bible – a good look at the forest instead of an in-depth investigation of each individual tree.
It is vital that every follower of Christ not only read the Bible but study it in order to understand it and live it. This helpful overview of the Bible will lay a foundation for a lifetime of personal Bible study and application.
