A Book to Die for: A Practical Study Guide on How Our Bible Came to Us

Every Christian should be handed a version of A Book To Die For (by William J. McRae) as soon as they are handed a Bible. That's how useful this guide is.

This book covers just about everything a New Christian needs to know about the Bible. I would probably know the Word of God a 100X better if I had been given a book like this 35 years ago. Many Christians don't have the slightest idea how important all of these chapters are to surviving the attacks on the the Christian faith and to the very scriptures we trust for truth.

Maybe if Bart Ehrman had something like this when he was a child he wouldn't be such an idiot. Just maybe?!
