Get to know your way around the Scripture wtih this family-friendly tour through the Bible.

I have to start out by saying...I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!! :) I think all families should have a copy of this book in their library. It's wonderful!!!

Christine Ditchfield starts the book out by writing about the history of the Bible. Where did it come from? She then proceeds to answer the question of how can we trust the Bible...that it is the word of God.  Then she moves to the question of what it's all about.

Then she gets to the meat of this book. Each and every one of the sixty-six books of the Bible is given a synopsis. 

This is how each chapter is broken down:

The Book (the name of the Bible book)
The Author (who authored this book of the Bible)
The Audience (who is this book directed towards)
The Setting (where in the world is this located and what time)
The Story (a short overview of the book)
The Message ( a brief synopsis of the entire book, with chapter and verse references)

The key verse for the book

More on this story in the Bible. This is wonderful...if you are researching a particular subject, person or time, you can find more references in this section.

A short words to know section identifies the most significant words contained in this Book.

The Did You Know section is the best! Some little snippet about each Book is included. Then the Making The Connection section gies you some background as to what is going on during this Book's writing.

I can't say enough good things about this book. It's engaging, informative and easy to read. I can see this one being in our family library for many years to come. I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to review such a fine book. And I thank Crossway Publishers for publishing it!
