Its the bestselling book ever. Its been translated into more than 2,000 languages. Its changed peoples lives around the world. No, its not Thin Thighs in 30 Days . . . its the Bible! Yet the Bible remains about as well-understood to many people as your typical software license agreement-and about as exciting. Thats too bad, because the Bible is exciting, and it doesnt have to be a mystery. Whether youre new to the Bible and think the book of Job is a guide to finding the perfect career, or your rusty Bible knowledge needs a spit-and-polish, or you just want a fresh look at the book youve read so many times, this is the book for you. No dry theological treatise, its written in an engaging, humorous style you will enjoy. In short, readable chapters, the authors first answer some basic questions: Who wrote the Bible? Is it accurate? How do you find your way around it? And how did Noah fit all those animals into the ark anyway? (Well, maybe not that, but theres still plenty of trivia in there.) Then they take you on a guided tour from Genesis to Revelation, summarizing important people, events, and themes. Youll get a good foundation for understanding and an excitement for reading this most important of books, the Bible. The title says it all! Its an inspiring trailer for the Best Book in the World. Read it front to back or just dip in-either way it does the biz. -Rob Lacey, author of the word on the street, actor and broadcaster
