[Daniel Wright · Rating 5 out of 5]

Chris Juby spent about three years summarising the entire Bible, condensing each chapter into 140 characters on Twitter, which can still be seen under @BibleSummary. This book is a result of that effort with a careful selection from each book and a few other details, giving perhaps one of the best quick overviews it is possible to get. The chapter summaries not only capture a great deal of the content in a tiny amount of space, but often manage to capture the style and poetry of the language as well.

(Disclaimer: Yes, I do know Chris personally. He is an excellent musician and worship leader, and leads the King's Church Durham 'great books reading group', as well as a veteran Bible-summariser.)

Clear and concise, an excellent sunday school resource.
