Executive Summary for the Bible by Chaplin Farris and Ruth
Robertson, a husband and wife team, have put together a comprehensive overview
of the Bible that helps readers understand the books of the Bible. Mentioning
that the Bible is the biggest selling book in the world, yet the least
understood, these authors have created an easy-to-read (8.5 x 11 guide) that
includes practical explanations of the many characters, lessons, chapters,
books, and stories that encompass the Bible, to include background information
on cultures and timelines. With many illustrations and a solid Biblical
perspective, Christians will find this book a compliment to their library.
Written for the Christian to gain a firm grip of God’s plan
for the Earth and for those skeptics, doubters and debaters, the authors
encourages you to read with an open mind and consider God’s Word, the Bible.
Reading this book will shed light on God’s agenda and help you understand such
facets of the Bible such as: the characters of the Bible, the books of the
Bible, the plots of the Bible, the history of the written Word, messages of the
Bible, the laws of God, with informational chapters on angels, heaven, from
Genesis to Revelation. Additionally speaking on such topic as: blessings,
Christian values, beliefs and disciplines taken from the Word. The authors do
suggest for the reader to have a Bible handy for further study and remind
readers that a childlike faith will serve them well instead of a critical mind
that will allow the Spirit of God to bring understanding to God’s written Word.
This is an incredible adventure through Scripture, one that
is a highly recommended book for every family library. Well-written and
well-researched, with many illustrations, maps and graphs the authors present
keen understanding on the spirit man, the Trinity, to include discussions that
offer an overview of the timeline and history of the Bible, books and stories.
This is a wonderful study-guide for pastors, evangelists, churches and parents
to work with their children in understanding God’s Word.
