4.0 out of 5 stars Well Structured and Simple to Understand., December 29, 2005

By	Michael V. Baxter - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having read 5 various books on this subject of the Kingdom of God, Mr. Roberts book was the most organized, structured, illustrated and understandable. It became the foundation for my own series on the Kingdom. A great first book since it lays the foundation necessary for understanding the more in depth books such as: Announcing the Kingdom and According to Plan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great overview of the whole bible, January 11, 2007

By	Paul Miller "Grace Addict" (Dunkirk, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book provided a wonderful overview of the entire bible in one book. Not an indepth study, but it was fun to read about the bible, all 66 books in one volume. It also helped in understanding how they all fit together and that the central theme is God's redemptive plan for mankind.
