A reader-friendly guide to the Bible. February 11, 2003

By Robin Bayne

Format:Paperback

I was very pleased to discover Mr. Whalin's new book. I now have a reader-friendly companion to my daily Bible reading. By paraphrasing and summarizing; and with the inclusion of historical and archeologicial tidbits, the author has made the books of the Bible understandable and interesting. The stories within are NOT just long lists of names and mysterious prophecies--they present history in a manner that keeps me turning pages. Highly recommended as a study aide or reading as literature.

Basic Training December 27, 2002

By Jeanne Zornes

Format:Paperback

As a young Christian in the 1970s, I immersed myself in another
Bible overview book, Henrietta Mear's "What the Bible Is All About." It helped me at that point in my spiritual journey, but I'm glad another overview is out to help new Christians or to re-orient older believers who just never got serious about Bible study. Whalin has done a fine job of explaining important Bible doctrines and summarizing the contents of the Bible books. I noticed a few books missing (Ruth, Galatians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Titus and Jude), presumably because Whalin had to keep to the promise of getting the reader through the Bible in 24 one-hour study sessions. But for covering the "basics," and hopefully helping believers approach deeper study with more confidence, "Alpha Teach Yourself" is a worthy addition to the discipling shelf.

A Perfect Way to Learn the Bible October 14, 2002

By Jim Reed

Format:Paperback

I've had a Bible for years but didn't have a clue about most of the pages and especially the Old Testament--until I found this book in my local bookstore. In 24 one-hour lessons, I began to get a solid overview of the entire book.

I lead a regular Bible study in my home and next year I'm recommending our group use this Teach Yourself the Bible in 24 Hours book to get the Bible's big picture. In particular, I liked the "Hour's Up" section of each chapter where I was able to apply the information to my every day life. What a wonderful book! Thank you, Terry.
