[Scott Jones · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really a 3.5 stars. There is good, basic information in this book which will be especially useful to new believers. The maps could have been a bit better (i.e., not all of the places mentioned in the text are shown on their corresponding maps) and sometimes the information was either overly-simplistic or occasionally innaccurate. Overall there is much good information to glean.
