Simply The Bible    by Nick Page Order:  USA  Can , 2013 (2013) Softcover     Reviewed by Bob Walch Cleverly designed, the modern, eye catching illustrations of this volume will draw readers in and make them want to read the text. There have been a countless number of books written about the Bible, what it means and how to use this book of scripture, but perhaps no one else has done such a succinct job of giving a brief overview of the Bible which will make it accessible to a wide range of readers. Page addresses each book of the Bible with short summaries, bullet points of significant messages, key characters and Surprise Me! blurbs with interesting factoids that readers can use to help better understand the central points. This is not intended as a substitute for reading the Bible itself or doing an in-depth study of the sacred book, but it will serve nicely as a working introduction that hopefully will make the reader want to consult the original and do some in-depth reading. Consider Simply The Bible as a starting point that will pique a young person's curiosity or entice an individual who knows little about Christianity to do a bit more research. Even those readers who are very familiar with the contents of the Bible will find the Surprise Me! factoids and other informative sections set off by boxes interesting.
