    About this ebook

    With extensive biblical knowledge and a fresh, contemporary perspective, Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz provide an easy-to-understand approach to God's written message as they:

    • provide a user-friendly overview of the origin, themes, and context of the Bible
    • pack in maps, references, learning aids, and useful details
    • reveal God's love and plan of salvation for humankind
    • encourage study with a personal three month plan

    This is a must-have resource for readers who have been planning to get serious about Bible study—longtime believers, new Christians, Bible study leaders, and even seekers who want to read the Bible for the first time.

    Bruce Bickel

    Bruce Bickel quickly abandoned pursuing standup comedy because he wasn't funny enough, opting instead to become a lawyer—a profession in which he is considered hilarious. His previous books with Stan Jantz include Knowing the Bible 101 and God Is in the Small Stuff.
