Synopsis

The Bible must be the most popular yet least-read book in the world! It looks so complex, so long, and in a language from a previous era. And yet it?'s the greatest story ever told, the ultimate love story, the biography of God himself. The 100-Minute Bible is designed for people who may not know very much about the Christian faith but want to know why the Bible is so popular with two billion people around the world. The 100-Minute Bible is also for Christians who want to revisit the big picture. Read this and see the whole sweep of God?'s loving purpose for his world and all its people. So many people know about the Bible but so few have read it at all, let alone cover to distant cover. This version of the Bible has been written to bridge that gap. Most people will be able to read it in 100 minutes, making it the ideal read for that upcoming journey, or for an enjoyable reading experience of enlightenment. The 100-Minute Bible enables people who are not familiar with the classic Bible to understand the basic story of the book that is the basis of the Christian faith. It is intended for people who might have an interest in Christianity but not the time (nor tenacity!) to read the 700,000+ words of the whole Bible. It picks out the principal stories of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, the turbulent history of his nation, the Jews, and the beginnings of the Christian Church in the first century.

An instant best-seller in Great Britain and translated into many languages, this 100-minute read covers all of the decisive moments and influential characters in short, straightforward chapters. This new way of looking at the Bible and the story of Christianity is the perfect companion for the airplane, bedtime, or the daily commute.
