Matt Whitman distills and renders every book of the Bible in an interesting and memorable way. Calling it a 'lightning-fast field guide' is right. It wastes no time, yet it's a valuable reference tool to get a grip on every book of the Bible. And since Matt wrote it, you know that it's punchy and not boring. * Michael Patrick Harding, president, Explorer's Bible Study Association * This book is a podcast on paper. It grips your attention, moves fast, and tells you things you may have never heard. Best of all, the author knows how to connect the reader--you!--with the world's all-time bestseller. In the end, we all need to read the Bible. But we may need a jump start. You'll find it here. Dig in and take off! * Robert W. Yarbrough, professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary * With his characteristic humor and plainspoken insight, Matt Whitman invites the reader on a whirlwind tour of the Sacred Scriptures. He provides vital stats and a concise summary for each book and suggests a basic outline that both highlights the structure and gives a visual architecture of each component part, and thus of the whole library of writings. By providing a bird's-eye view of the whole Bible, Matt helps readers get a unified sense of the diverse writings that the Bible comprises. I highly recommend this book for those who are brand-new to the Scriptures, for old hands who still struggle to understand how the Bible all hangs together, and for anyone who wants to solidify their grasp of God's great message to mankind. * William Weedon, assistant pastor, St. Paul Lutheran Church, Hamel, Illinois; catechist on LPR podcast The Word of the Lord Endures Forever *
