Holman QuickSource Guide to Understanding the Bible

by Kendell H. Easley

The Holman QuickSource Guide to Understanding the Bible is your guide to deeper Bible study. 

If you've been wanting to get a better handle on the Bible-even if you've been reading it for years-this helpful reference book pulls the sweeping story, the timeline, the key terms, and much more into a clear, concise, yet surprisingly comprehensive summary of biblical information. 

What’s the main idea of each Bible book? 
Where can you quickly locate Christian worldview themes? 
How can the shadow of Christ be seen in each Old Testament book? 
What are the big verses that every Bible student needs to know? 
How can you sum up the biblical story in six simple statements? 

The answers to these and many other questions begin to surface as you confidently walk your way to "big picture" Bible understanding. One-sentence summaries, colorful maps and charts, quick-hitting details on who wrote what and why-you get all this and more with a graphic flow and design that makes the reading easy... and makes the knowledge your own.

Not a book Christians should read. The inaccuracies and seeds of doubt are disgusting.

[Erion Prometheus · Rating 1 out of 5]

If only I had the discernment I have today when I bought this garbage. It would have saved me $3.00 and time. But who knows how many people read this and think it's accurate?
The first problem is a book using a man's name on a perverted version of scripture and calling it the Bible. I can't even wrap my head around that kind of arrogance. Holman's Christian Standard Bible is not a book I would recommend and this "guide" has been torn apart and will be burned based on God's word. Then published by a publishing company also with the man's name attached to it.

Seven years ago I read this book and since then it has become my go to book for getting an overview of the forest. It is clearly organized and succinct. One of it best features is the one sentence summary it gives of each book of the Bible. I highly recommend this book to every one interested in reading and studying the Bible.

This gives a overview of each book and helps us to understand some of the basic historical and geographical backgrounds of the context. Easy to read and understandable through good quality images. One can see the pain that was taken by the author to make it simple but with profound input.
