If you're just beginning to explore the rewards of Bible study, here is the perfect introduction! Colin S. Smith has drawn from all four volumes of his work, Unlocking the Bible Story, to create this fascinating and thought-provoking guide. Using ten key words from his books, he leads the reader through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and opens doors to further inspiration. 10 Keys offers a bridge to his series, and is also a wonderful stand-alone book of revitalizing truths.

A small book that packs a powerful punch! The bible study group my husband and I lead is about to go through the study based on this material so I previewed the book. The material here is going to make for great discussion! Don't expect complex theology here, the concepts presented are simple but profound. Pastor Smith takes the reader through ten "keys" that show the "big picture" of God's plan of redemption from Genesis to Revelation, and how the entire Bible points to Jesus Christ. The ten "keys" are: garden, law, sacrifice, invitation, manger, cross, tomb, spirit, fight, and city. This is a fantastic book for a new believer or even seeker and yet there's plenty to chew on for a mature believer as well. Good stuff!
