The Good Book

Think you've read the Bible? Think again. How much did you truly understand? Was it confusing, repetitive-or just hard to connect with? The Good Book offers a fresh way in. It's a clear translation from the original Greek, written in today's American English and arranged topically for easy reading-no repetition. Inside, you'll find:

What Jesus actually said to real people The astonishing power behind His miracles Parables decoded with practical insight

Each chapter is filled notes that unpack deeper meanings and reveal the relevance. Whether you're curious, skeptical, or spiritually involved, The Good Book brings clarity to the world's best-selling book, The New Testament. Burned out reading the Bible the same old way? How about switching to current English expressions? topical organization rather than repeats of the same thing in every Gospel? Confused about what it all means? how about some clarifying comments? What could a book written two millennia ago in a primitive, ancient culture have to say to our scientifically advanced, technological world? For "People of the Book," or believing Christians, the New Testament (NT) continues to speak volumes of spiritual truth. A fresh reading of the NT in a new format is intended to reinvigorate interest for re-readers. Deeper levels of meaning often are understood with more experience in the Christian faith. Has the human heart ever changed? These stories and spiritual instructions are not exclusively for 1st Century people. God intended them to be read and treasured by a variety of groups in diverse cultures and to speak to people on different social levels as they continue to be handed down century after century.
