Navigating the Bible: Reading Without Getting Lost
The Bible is an amazing book by any standard. It’s a big book that many of us will ever think about reading. This one volume contains sixty-six different books penned by at least forty authors over a span of nearly 1500 years. Despite its intimidating size, the Bible remains the best-selling book in the world.But the Bible has a problem—there are far more Bible owners than Bible readers! Lots of Bibles are purchased, far fewer are read, and far fewer than that are understood! For too many, the Bible is a confusing book. It is confusing to both strangers and veterans.In Navigating the Reading Without Getting Lost, Dr. Will Thomas provides a roadmap to the Bible that promises to help the experienced Bible reader and the newcomer read without getting lost. He begins with the basics before moving to an overview of the library of books that form the New and Old Testaments_. Navigating the Bible_ explains that the Bible tells one story from beginning to end--the Story of God. Dr. Thomas explores the Big Story that fills the Old Testament, then moves to the Story of Jesus before ending with the Coronation, bringing the Bible to a climactic conclusion.Dr. Thomas promises that with this roadmap in hand, Bible reading can become less confusing and more what the Lord intends it to be—informational, inspirational, and transformation.Enjoy the journey!
