Welcome to the Bible

For Everyone Who Always Meant to Read It But Never Has

By: James Miller

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The Bible is a long book - over 1000 pages! Lots of people have good intentions of reading it, but it's filled with strange stories, an ancient historical context, and strange vocabulary. How do you begin this book? Everyone ought to read the Bible. Atheists ought to read it, if for no other reason than that it's changed the history of the world more than any other books. Historians ought to read it, literary scholars should read it, and people trying to live moral and meaningful lives should read it. It's just hard to understand how dozens of letters from over 40 authors somehow fit together. Welcome to the Bible is a simple, straightforward introduction to the big picture, bird's-eye-view of the Bible. It explains what the whole book is about and how it's outlined. It explains how the Bible was put together. This book is not a summary of or a substitute for the Bible - it's just the introduction that most people need to get started and to make sense of it. Having field tested this book with hundreds of people, Dr. James Miller now presents this brief, introductory text to everyone who wants to read the Bible for themselves. It's also a great curriculum for small group Bible studies or for adult education classes on the Bible, and pastors can use it to motivate congregation members to start reading. It's a proven tool for taking step number one towards a rich devotional life.
