Review
Many Christians have summarised their beliefs over the years in written form. But few have done so in as lively and compelling a fashion as Mark Keown. If you thought faith was dull or boring, think again and read this book. If you thought following Jesus was just about God and me, discover his plan for the whole universe here! If you believed it was just about fire insurance for a life to come, guess again. If the overall storyline of the Bible seems confusing, or you re just not very familiar with it at all, you ll come to grips with that here, too, and see how it is reflected in popular culture and contrasted in other world religions. Mark is at once personally transparent and scripturally faithful. Long time Christ-followers and those who know nothing about Christianity will alike benefit from this book. --Craig Blomberg (Distinguished Professor of the New Testament, Denver Seminary)
