30 days to understanding the bible powerpoint

If I were to categorize this book, I would say it is kind of a Bible guidebook that doesn’t go deep into topics, but rather gives an excellent overview of the entire Bible to help you understand the concepts that are in the Word.

If you are interested in that type of learning approach, this book would be great for you. Also, for anyone that is involved in a new believer’s class, this could be a great resource for that as well.

QUICK SUMMARY:

“30 Days to Understanding the Bible: Unlock the Scriptures in 15 Minutes a Day” is an excellent book to help people that may be struggling with understanding the Bible and what it is all about. Mind you, this book is by no means a tool to make you an expert in all things about the Bible. However, it can be a resource for you to spend around 15 or 20 minutes per day for 30 days and have a very good grasp on the who, what, where and when of the Bible.

I would recommend this book to any newer believer or anyone that may not have a solid foundation in understanding the Bible as long as they are wanting to do a “Bible study” type approach as this book has more of a lesson and quiz/question approach through a large portion.

Those who already have a solid foundation in the Bible may get a few things out of this but not nearly as much as a beginning student of the Scriptures. To be honest, I really think that this really would be a fantastic resource for a New Believer’s class to go through in a group setting that would be more of a classroom-type or Bible study kind of setting. In my mind, that would be an amazing venue for this book for sure in addition as a personal study for any newer believer.

Overall, it is very well written and nicely presents an overview of the Bible. There are many repetition activities throughout this book to drive home some level of memorization of the lessons.

I received an advanced reader’s copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for this review and all opinions are my own.

Appendix

Company Summary:

In 1798, Thomas Nelson founded his first publishing house in Edinburgh, Scotland, determined to make books, particularly Christian classics, affordable to the common man.  In 1931, Pat and Bernie Zondervan began their publishing journey in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where they began buying and selling books and Bibles.  HarperCollins Publishers acquired Zondervan Publishers in the 1980s and Thomas Nelson in 2012, integrating the two similar, yet uniquely different, publishing groups under one leadership.  Today, the strength of these great names—Thomas Nelson and Zondervan—continue to represent the highest quality in Christian publishing, creating the Company’s foundation.

HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Inc. is a world leading Christian content provider. Our parent company, HarperCollins Publishers, is the second-largest consumer book publisher in the world and is a subsidiary of News Corp. Though the Company formed in 2012, its heritage dates back to the late eighteenth century. Thomas Nelson and Zondervan, two highly sought-after Christian inspirational brands, are the keystone publishing programs.
