5.0 out of 5 stars Brings the Bible to life in an easy to understand format, February 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bruce & Stan's Guide to the Bible Pocket Guide (Paperback)

I purchased Bruce and Stan's guide to the Bible because it is not only for people who are just getting involved in Christianity but also for people like myself who have been involved in church their whole lives but are looking to become more than "Sunday only" Christians. This book was hard to put down once I started reading it. In a style that is easy for anyone to read, this book gives you insight into the Bible that you may have often wondered about but didn't know how to go about finding it in the Bible. Great reading from front to back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Beginners to Bible Study, October 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Bruce & Stan's Guide to the Bible Pocket Guide (Paperback)

It really made the scripture come alive. I have been studying the Bible for years, but my wife is a newcommer to God's Word. We both got a lot out of it's overview and the way it illistrates themes and messages that are usually overlooked. Their chapther with the 20 minute overview really brings the Bible together. I plan to use this a quick reference to many doctrine issues.

This review is from: Bruce & Stan's Guide to the Bible Pocket Guide (Paperback)

I was given this book by a Christian friend who knew I was curious about the Word and needed the right information. The authors --Bruce and Stan-- really have a knack for writing about the Bible in an interesting yet simple way. I know I benefitted immensely from this nifty handbook! It gives you a brief overview of each individual book, plus recommended Scripture and other sources for any subject you may be curious about. While these guys definitely cling to old beliefs (stating that Moses wrote the Torah, for example), they still make some great points and add some clean humor. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who was curious about the Bible or needs a review.
