Bible reading for everyone – that’s what this book offers! It will speak
to those who already read the Bible but find themselves asking why;
and to those who don’t read the Bible but would like to if only it
weren’t so strange. It explains what the Bible is, offers an overview of
what is found in it, and addresses questions people ask, such as:
• Does science disprove the Bible?
• Why is there so much violence in the Bible?
• What does the Bible say about sex?
The author also presents an account of reading the Bible in the
context of a life of faith and suggests how the Bible might be
integrated with a life of prayer.
