The Bible Book by Book is a wonderful resource for teens and even adults who want to know more background information on the Word of God. This book by Chris Rogers will take you through each book of the Bible illustrated in full color with beautiful pictures about the lands, people and places of the Bible. There is a theme applied to each book so for the book of II Kings the theme would be “the collapse of an empire” or for Haggai the theme would be “it’s time to build”.
Each chapter has an outline that gives the author, date written, type of book, key characters and major themes. This is great if you want to read all the books written by Paul or Moses or if you want to read a book from a certain time period to learn the history. Then follows the Title and Style which is simply details about what the book is, so for Psalms it give details about the songs, and how they differ from today’s songs and more. Next is GPS which is the details about what the book covers such as kindgoms, peoples and other information as to the whys and wheres of the book. Background and also some short details are given as well as other books to read are recommended.
With these beautiful pictures that illustrate the book like the picture of the reconstructed Ishtar Gate or people from the modern part of the world that the book discusses. Whether you are simply wanting your teen or older child to learn more about the rich history of the Word of the True God or simply just want more information for yourself I have to suggest you check out this wonderful book: The Bible Book by Book.

Very good, but definitely not for the newbie Christian. See my full review at ccbreview.blogspot.com!
