A small, very easy to use guide to the Bible. This book uses an attractive design and concise text to give the reader an accessible way into the Bible. The book takes the reader step by step through the Bible, helping him or her to understand the key subjects and types of book it contains, and suggests passages of the Bible to begin reading. This is not a commentary or a handbook — it doesn't deal with weighty issues or debates over interpretation, historicity etc. Nor is it a zany guide for the young — rather, it is for those who want a simple, unfrightening approach to this important book, and who will feel more comfortable with the small format.
