Read IT!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bible Speaks to You (Paperback)
This book makes sense. Read it.We read this book on the recommendation of our pastor, a one-time student of Dr. Brown's. Whether you are strong in faith, new to the "language" of the Christian church, or just wanting to learn, The Bible Speaks to You "speaks to you" in a way that makes sense. Highly recommended.

Great book for anyone that does and doesn't know the Bible.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bible Speaks to You (Paperback)
This book talks about theological aspects of the Bible. It helps explain the Bible to uninformed readers and it also adds a lot of depth to the seasoned Biblical reader.

A Joy to Read!,

This review is from: The Bible Speaks to You (Paperback)
Although this book was written by a foremost 20th century theologian, it is a joy to read because the average lay reader
can see him or or self in his explanations of how it all happened! Some great minds have the ability to keep things simple. Readers will recognize this quality from the beginning to the end.
