The Good Book: 40 Chapters That Reveal the Bible's Biggest Ideas
Designed as a forty-day journey through forty key chapters of the Bible, The Good Book will appeal to those who already love and read the Bible regularly as well as to those who are just beginning their Christian journey.
The Good Book:
- is a great evangelism tool for explaining the major themes of Scripture to those who want to know more about God, Jesus, and the core beliefs of Christianity;
- gives new believers an overview of the Bible and lays a framework to help them understand Scripture passages;
- helps longtime Christians rediscover the basic themes of Scripture and experience these truths in a new way; and
- encourages Scriptural literacy as it pushes readers to read both one chapter of the book and one chapter of the Bible each day for forty days.
Top Highlights
“The Seven Deadly Sins are pride, lust, greed, gluttony, envy, anger, and sloth.” (source)
“Based on the word agnostic, a term for those who view God as unknowable, Hunter came up with the word ignostic to describe someone who is ignorant about the subject of God. 1 An ignostic may willingly admit that God is knowable, but he or she doesn’t have the first clue about how or where to begin a search for him.” (source)
“This sin cycle of temptation, disobedience, and blame is a predictable pattern we mindlessly repeat our entire lives. Have you ever had a strong desire for something you knew to be wrong, but try as you may, you could not resist it?” (source)
“Insight is the ability to see reality with accuracy” (source)
“Why read the Scriptures again and again? Simply put, each time we read the Scriptures, our understanding is expanded and our love for God is deepened. So if you’re a more experienced Bible reader, these forty chapters will not only help you explore the Bible’s biggest ideas, but they’ll also enable you to grasp afresh the greatness of God.” (source)
