Customer Reviews

Excellent condition.

Great read especially to help clarify the Bible. Sometimes it can seem confusing but this made it easier to understand.

Great starter for the Bible

I learned so much from this book. I can actually have an intelligent conversation about the stories of the Bible now! This book is written in our language, and is easy to follow. It is so interesting, I couldn't put it down. I followed along in my KJV Bible and the Idiots Guide is right on the money. Now I feel like I can begin to read the Bible with more understanding.

Excellent overview

I found this book to be very educational and easy to read. Definitely must reading for anyone who wants an overview of the Bible. People interested in this book will also enjoy: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Biblical Mysteries and also Don't Know Much about the Bible.

Complete Idiot's Guide to the Bible made me an idiot no more

This book is wonderfully written in a somewhat humorous vein that made the Bible a very interesting story. This book answered many, many questions that I had over the years and brought the Bible to me in a more objective and practical viewpoint. I highly recommend this book for everyone who is or has been confused by the Bible and for anyone who is seeking faith. A VERY well put together book that should be a textbook for Sunday Schools everywhere.

Best I've seen

I'm pastor of a church reaching out to folks who have only been Christians for a short time, and who have tons of problems. I have been searching for something to introduce them to the Bible quickly. This book is it! I love it. People will read it, discuss it, use it. I am going to standardize on it, presenting a copy to every convert during our New Christians' Training program we call First Class. I had a hard time putting it down, myself, and I have two graduate degrees, the better part of another, and have been a pastor in mission situations for more than 40 years.
