After a brief general overview of the Bible as a whole, each book of the Bible is reviewed, with sections on its main message, key passages, and an outline of its contents. It also has brief introductions to key issues such as Faith, Prayer, Resurrection, Sexuality, God the Trinity, Covenant and etc.

As St Gregory the Great said: "The Bible is like a wide river in which lambs may splash in the shallows and elephants may swim to their hearts' content." This book will be of very real service in helping first-time swimmers get into the water, and perhaps help some more advanced readers learn new "strokes" to take them into greater depths. FEB 2002
