Product Description

Product Description
A 'lightning tour' of the Bible in words and cartoon pictures for those who want an accessible and lighthearted introduction; For all who find the Bible a bit formidable, a bit too difficult to get into, The Bible from Scratch could be just what's needed. It offers a lightning sketch of the Bible using easy-to-follow graphics and explains clearly and simply the essential meaning of every Bible book. It provides helpful hints for understanding what each biblical writer was aiming to get across to his readers. And it introduces all the famous people and events in the Bible story. Lively, witty, entertaining, it's the ideal starting point for all who want to get better acquainted with the world's bestselling book, but don't know where to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars enLIGHTening, 24 April 2004
I thouroughly enjoyed this book. It had just the right amount of humourand irreverence to keep we wanting to come back and yet at times proved tobe profound and revealing. The author doesn't get bogged down in dogma ortheological debate and so his bible becomes relevent and meaningful to me. A great way in to the good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful overview, 11 Nov 2004
As a young Christian I found this book really useful as a general overview. It's a very helpful and interesting read helping you get to grips with the historical background and main themes that run through the individual books comprising the Bible. I would highly recommend it to other peeps to read ~alongside~ your Bible especially because of the fantastic humour and cartoons :D

5.0 out of 5 stars superb, 12 Jun 2008
highly highly recommend this, i have real probs with understanding the OT and this helped more than i can say...i am currently reading another book on the OT and it's so heavy and dry i can only stand one chapter at a time, yet it says basically nothing different from this which is really funny and cute A* top banana
