God’s Bible Timeline: The Big Book of Biblical History

by Linda Finlayson

With colour illustrations, pictures, and pull–out timelines, this history book brings the whole Bible to life!   From Genesis to Revelation, from the beginning of time to the early church, from the first promise of a Saviour to the promise that one day that Saviour will return – this book spans all of time. Find out about how the God of all time spoke to his people and still speaks today through his Word.   This absorbing book is split into 6 colour–coded The eighteen illustrated timelines place Bible events side–by–side with other historical events, helping readers to understand how biblical history fits with other historical accounts. These timelines also draw together events from different books of the Bible, clearly showing, for example, when in Israel and Judah’s history the prophets were speaking, and what else was happening at the time.   The timelines are interspersed with descriptions of notable people, maps and illustrations depicting key locations and occasions, as well as explanations of why certain incidents are so important.    Throughout the book there are icons drawing the reader’s attention Seeing these things laid out in such a clear format helps to identify the threads of redemptive history that are woven throughout the Bible.   Written and designed by the same people who created the popular God’s Timeline, this companion book will help young and old readers alike to understand the chronology of the Bible. It also includes a pull–out poster of the whole timeline, and the main heroes and villains mentioned in the Bible.

About the author

There is an odd notion among school children that history is boring, just full of dates and events. But in fact history is really about people and their stories. Their stories range from dramatic adventures to examples of quiet courage, from those who chose to pursue the good and those who did not. What a treasure chest for a writer to choose from, especially for children.

I write biographies and true adventure stories for children partly to entertain and partly to teach. There's nothing wrong with a fast-paced tale to keep a child focused on a book, and if they can be learning about their Christian heritage at the same time, all the better. There are many men and women in church history who can act as inspiring examples to our children, and it is my hope to make them accessible through my books.

I have enjoyed working with children in schools, churches and children's clubs, and these ministry opportunities have inspired me to bring together my love of books, children and history.

Reviews

[Josiah Goodrum · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic reference for those interested in the cosmic story we’re all participants in.

[Joshua · Rating 5 out of 5]

A 5 star book that is biblically accurate, and does not sacrifice depth for brevity.

I like how the book tries to tie in biblical history with secular events, which helps people to see how God is utterly in control.

Interesting with character drawings but still found it difficult to follow
