Here is what I learned from reading the entire Bible:
1) God is. a wrathful, vengeful, jealous God. This is consistently supported throughout the entire Bible, not just the "Old Testament."
2) This book was written for a particular people, living in a specific place, at the time in history when this was written. Most of what is people try to apply to our lives today is taken way out of context, both historically and culturally, and textually.
3) "Sexual immorality" and practicing any kind of divination or magic will for sure get you thrown into the burning pit of hell and eternal torture. This is consistently preached in all sections of this book.
4) Jesus tempers all of this a little bit, but then Paul comes and lays the hammer down again.
5) Evangelicals follow Paul, not Jesus. Most of what they quote and the verses they use as weapons come from him.
6) Yet for some reason, despite all of this, I am still a follower of Jesus, technically a "Christian," though I do not like that label. After reading this book, I am not even sure why anymore, and maybe that will change eventually, but I still believe there is so much to His genius, love, compassion, and radical theology that is only hinted at in this book. This really isn't a book about Jesus, I hate to tell you. That is the book I would love to read.
