Easy to Read Bible Summary for Teens and Adults

by Michael Kotch

Have you ever wanted to get an understanding of the entire Bible for yourself or to teach the Bible to your children? Many Christians hope to have this understanding, but for whatever reason, it can be too overwhelming to read the Bible completely. Easy-to-Read Bible Overview for Teens and Adults is a Bible summary that covers all of the major stories and themes of the Bible from the first words in the book of Genesis to the last words in the book of Revelation. It is written in clear and simple language that is easy to understand. It is intended for a person who always wanted to get a general understanding of the entire Bible, but for whatever reason, never read all of it. It is also ideal for teens to learn all about the Bible on their own, or for parents to use to teach the Bible to their children. Interwoven through the book is also an explanation of how all of the Bible connects together and points to Jesus Christ. While an overview is never a replacement for reading the Bible, summaries can help us as we visit the actual word of God and read it regularly. As a biblical reference, Easy-to-Read Bible Overview for Teens and Adults is an excellent way to introduce the Bible to teens who may not yet be able to read the entire Bible on their own—and for parents, too, who need an extra hand.

Great summary. I've always read parts of the bible but have had a hard time trying to piece it all together, and have been too intimidated to read the entire bible. This is a great summary to tie it all together, and now I feel I have a better background to read the entire bible and be able to understand it.

Not bad, but in many ways oversimplified.

This is a summary of the entire Bible. Each chapter is about a particular book or section within the Bible. It's a good summary but there are parts or specific wordings that I personally don't believe, and I am a Christian. In the author's writings of the Old Testament, he mentions Jesus but Jesus doesn't exist until the New Testament. Even though there is the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost), Jesus (the Son) didn't become an entity until New Testament so he could not exist during the Old Testament. That would be God, the Father.

Some of the chapters such as the chapter on the Book of Proverbs merely provides a listing of proverbs.

The book of the Bible that I understand the least is Revelations. The author clearly explains what John prophetized. It´s a bit clearer to me now. I did not know, though, that John was a prisoner on the island of Patmos when he wrote this book. I thought he just lived on the island voluntarily.

Good but basic summary of the books of the Bible.

This pairs so great with the Bible. I used it side by side for Bible study and devotional and the author does a really great job of explaining each book while not trying to insert too much personal perspective. I also really appreciate how with some of the longer and deeper books, he doesn’t even try to attempt summarizing them. He just says “be sure to read these carefully”. This isn’t meant to replace the Bible in any way. But it’s a WONDERFUL study aid.
