Readers will begin to see the Christian understanding of salvation by walking through the Old Testament, going through the great stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, the great kings and prophets of Israel, and culminating in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Understanding the Bible makes it easy with this book. Thank you.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent work. It’s very simple to read and clear to understand. It would totally change the way you approach scripture. You’ll never read the Bible the same way again. You’ll learn how to make connections between all the stories of scripture. It’s awesome. You’ll be happy you read this book
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5To understand the Scriptures one MUST understand the big picture before pulling out the parts. This book clearly, simply and understandably does just that. Before reading the Bible read this first.
