The Word

What is packed with nearly seventy books ranging from history to poetry, is written by numerous authors over centuries, and still offers you good advice for your current life experiences? The Bible is the correct answer, but we are living in the greatest period of biblical illiteracy in American history, and most people's knowledge of scripture is either nonexistent or misinformed. How many times have you seen a Bible verse misattributed to a famous author or heard someone declare a popular saying is surely from the Bible?

To truly know scripture, you must read it-but that can seem daunting and confusing if you're approaching it for the first time. In this upbeat guide, pastor and author Dr. Bob Beltz presents a comprehensive, yet surprisingly simple overview of the Bible. Providing you with an overview of its seven main sections and each of its sixty-six books, "The Word" also offers tips on how you can maximize your enjoyment of the Bible.

A great resource for pastors, teachers, and parents, "The Word" is also good for individuals who are interested in improving their personal biblical literacy and deepening their knowledge of God.
