The Bible is the magnificent story of God’s dealings with humankind from Creation described in Genesis to the Great Tribulation described in Revelation. There is no substitute for reading the Bible itself. However, if you would like a shortcut to understanding the basic storyline of the Bible, you can find it in The Bible in Brief: A Historical Summary of God’s Story from the Beginning to the End of Time.
The Bible in Brief will give you the big picture. Once you have the big picture, you can extend your study to pick up all the wonderful mysteries, promises, warnings, side dramas, doctrines, poetry, prophecies, etc. that complete the story.
The ebook version will help you extend your study with ease. It includes many links to Scriptures in the online Blue Letter Bible, as well as links to other informative sites. (I would love to have such Scripture links in many of the Bible study books I read!) You can order the ebook from Sqrindle.com here: The Bible in Brief.
If you prefer a hard copy, you will find the paperback and hardcover at Amazon.com: The Bible in Brief.
