This book is a paraphrase of Old Testament scripture form Joshua to Psalms. Blanco's work was meant for teens and young adults as an easier way to understand the Bible. Some areas it works as it clarifies some events whose meaning might get lost in a standard version of the Bible. Other times it doesn't work because certain portions lose its power in light of the original version of the scripture. All in all this is good book for Christians and non-Christians alike who are looking for a fresh take on the Word.
