It's only a luxury...

When I first ordered this book, I was pretty excited. It turns out this book is basically a database of the most important stories in the bible. I thought they would rewrite them, so they would be in a better "story" form, but they didn't. It's not a bad thing, but not what I was expecting.

I think this is best for reading through the stories of the old testament. It gets rid of all the boring genealogy and laws and gives you the meat of the old testament. If you had always wanted to read the bible in a year, or one of those things, this would be a great way to do it.

I've found this book to be helpful in my study of the bible. It is easy to use, and if you are doing something like Chronological bible study, or "storying" it would be perfect to use. Each lesson could be one chapter, and you could do a chapter a week.

To sum it up, it's basically a bible, and it makes it easier to find bible stories. No one needs this book, because it is just the Bible, and 92% of American's own a Bible. I gave it 3 stars because it is definitely good, but it's just a luxury.
