Welcome to your Bible by George W. Knight

Welcome to your Bible by George W. Knight

Welcome to your Bible—
 whether you’re brand-new to the faith
or you just know you need to dig deeper.
 
Christian growth is based on a clear understanding of God’s Word, so Welcome to Your Bible is designed to help you read and understand scripture.
 
Combining a variety of helpful features—
an annual reading plan
passage-by-passage summaries
explanations of confusing words and allusions
and more—
 this book is a powerful aid whatever your level of biblical experience.  Based on the King James Version, but usable with any translation of scripture, Welcome to Your Bible promises help when you’re ready and willing to commit time to God’s Word.

My take:  I wish I had this book when I was teaching a beginner's class on reading the Bible.  This book would be great as a daily reading guide or when you would like to dive deeper in the Bible.  I would recommend this for both people who are just starting to read the Bible or people who have been reading it for years.

I received a review copy of this book from Barbour and was not required to write a positive review.
