This book is a perennial favourite for Bible students and well it should be - Ms. Mears accomplished something in her day that likely hasn't been matched since, and did it when the field of theology was dominated almost exclusively by men. Such fact attests that this book was divinely inspired. When one begins to read through the text, they'll sense that divine guidance!

The book is "a broad overview to help the reader see the Bible as a cohesive whole... how the books of the Bible fit together to form the entire Word of God."

If you're a bible student, brand new to study or seasoned, this is one of those must-have study titles for your library. Mears systematically walks through the Scriptures, giving a history of the times covered in the writings, spiritual insights and interpretations into the text, and application for everyday living. Her easy writing manner and style lend an exquisite charm and engages the reader to have interaction with the scriptures being dissected and discussed.

Not sure you should sit 'under' the teachings of a woman? Think again and join the ranks of Billy Graham, Bill Bright and Richard Halverson, who count among those whom she mentored, trained and tutored on the Word.

Can't recommend this one highly enough. Be blessed.

This book was obviously written by someone who LOVES the scriptures and has been wonderfully blessed with the gift of conveying simple truths that we too often obfuscate. I have been teaching through the Minor Prophets in my Women's Bible study and have found this book of tremendous assistance. Do you desire to know what the Bible is all about? Then *this* is the book for you!

Grace and Peace . . .

This book has tremediously helped me understand God's word. I recommend this book for new Christians and to anyone who reads the Bible but, just can not grasp what it is trying to say.

This is the best layman's Bible study book I've ever read. It is packed full of amazing insights, and it shows how the individual books of the Bible all fit together to complement each other and emphasize certain basic themes. My suggestion is: READ THIS BOOK. It will change the way you think about the Bible.

This is an overview of the Bible, kept interesting by Ms. Mears down-to-earth writing style. She has sprinkled enough "tidbits" thoughout the chapters to make the Biblical characters come to life and give the reader new insights into this Most Holy of Books.

Easy to read, well organized, and interesting book that explains each book of the bible. Provides information that if read before reading the book in the bible makes the book so much more understandable. Also, is a good review if the bible book has not been read for awhile. Mary jo

I have had my copy of this book for several years not and have found it to be instructive and inspiring, comforting and challenging. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to learn more about Scripture, regardless of religious affiliation or educational level.

This is an excellent bible resource book. It gives an overall review of each book in the bible with emphasis on the important highlights and characters of each chapter. It is also a good resource for those who do not have time to read a whole book in the bible but who need to know the details of that book. I highly recommend this book.

I have been a Christian most of my life, but it took a new Christian to introduce me to this excellent Bible Study tool. I actually bought extra copies of it and have given them away. And here I am again, getting information for someone else to purchase one. I may have to just start keeping extra copies on hand all the time. What a powerful way to plant seeds into the life of Christians at any level of their walk. I always read the chapter from the book and then read the correlating chapter in the Bible. It really brings the Bible alive. I also listen to the dramatized version of the scriptures on CD as a study tool. It is so awesome! Ask God to make you hungry and thirsty for Biblical knowledge. It is just what we need in today's world. God Bless you.

This is a great book that has created a hunger for me to want to read the Bible and not be afraid of not understanding it. Its great to have your Bible next to you to reference scripture. I love it!
