In The Bible Blueprint, best-selling author Joe Paprocki makes understanding the Bible not only easy for the person in the pew, but downright fun! Using witty cartoons, thought-provoking sidebars, and short quizzes to supplement his easy-to-grasp teachings on the Bible, Paprocki guides lay Catholics to a solid understanding of the structure, organization, and purpose of God's Word.
Among numerous other topics, Paprocki covers the different genres of biblical writing, key figures in biblical history, and the methods Catholics rely on to interpret the Bible.

Book Description
A highly informative yet fun approach to understanding the world’s all-time best-selling book
In The Bible Blueprint, best-selling author Joe Paprocki cleverly uses a blueprint metaphor to help Catholics gain a solid understanding of the structure and organization of the Bible, and to help them build confidence in navigating its pages. Among other topics, Paprocki covers the different genres of biblical writing, key figures in biblical history, the methods Catholics rely on to interpret the Bible, and how to use commentaries. Witty cartoons, sidebars, and quizzes throughout the book keep the tone fun; eight perforated Bible bookmarks (four for the Old Testament, four for the New Testament) are bound into the book.
For the large number of Catholics who have never felt comfortable with the Scriptures, and for any Catholic new to the faith, The Bible Blueprint serves as an effective, nonthreatening introduction to God’s Word as well as a gateway to a deeper relationship with Christ.
From the Back Cover
A highly informative yet fun approach to understanding the world’s all-time best-selling book
It’s pretty hard to build a house if you don’t know how to read a blueprint. In the same way, it’s difficult to develop your faith if you don’t know how to read the Bible—or are reluctant even to open it. In The Bible Blueprint, best-selling author and popular speaker Joe Paprocki cleverly uses a blueprint metaphor to help Catholics gain a solid understanding of the structure and organization of the Bible, and to help them build confidence in navigating its pages.
Among other topics, Paprocki covers the different genres of biblical writing, key figures in biblical history, and the methods Catholics rely on to interpret the Bible. Readers are also shown how to consult commentaries, concordances, and other valuable tools of Bible study to deepen their understanding of God’s Word. Witty cartoons, sidebars, and quizzes throughout the book keep the tone fun and engaging; eight perforated Bible bookmarks are bound into the book.
For the large number of Catholics who have never felt comfortable with the Scriptures, and for any Catholic new to the faith, The Bible Blueprint serves as an effective, nonthreatening introduction to God’s Word, as well as a gateway to a deeper relationship with Christ.

Review of The Bible Blueprint,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Bible Blueprint: A Catholic's Guide to Understanding and Embracing God's Word (Paperback)
I was extremely pleased with my purchase of "The Bible Blueprint". Even though it was classified as "used", the book looks brand new, like it was fresh from the shelf. Thank you very much. I am very happy with my purchase. Edith M.

very basic introduction to the Bible and its origins,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Bible Blueprint: A Catholic's Guide to Understanding and Embracing God's Word (Paperback)
Briefly this book is targeted to an audience with very little biblical knowledge. It is not an academic book by any stretch of the imagination. I would recommend this book for those with very little working knowledge of the Bible.
