Summary: This book has been very helpful in teaching Sunday School.
Review: "How to get into the Bible" by Stephen M. Miller is a well balanced handbook of summarized text, illustrations, maps and historical time graphs. It has been the best overview and companion to the "Big-Book" that I have ever encountered. It really placed me into a position of understanding the Bible more than I have ever enjoyed before. The contemporary format of this book is interesting and novel. I thought so much of this book that I bought a second copy to loan out to my Christian friends. It is worth far more than double the price I paid

Summary: Thanks, from Stephen M. Miller
Review: Hello, Readers.I can't believe the folks at Amazon.com are letting me talk to you-at no charge to either of us. I'd like to thank you for the reception you've given HOW TO GET INTO THE BIBLE. My mother liked the book. But you never can trust mothers about such things. Readers you've never met, however, are another matter. They usually tell you what they really think. The book has been fortunate enough to get good reviews, hit the Christian bestseller list, and make it into some book clubs and dot.coms. It even got picked as one of five national finalists for the Gold Medallion award presented each year by the Evangelical Christian Publisher's Association. (It got beat by a book from some upstart named Chuck Swindoll.) Anyway, I hope you enjoy the book-and it helps deepen your love for God's Book. All the best, Stephen M. Miller P.S. Mom, if you ever get close enough to a computer to read this, I really do trust you almost all of the time. It's just that you're a better mother than a critic. Love, The boy

Summary: Great Study Guide
Review: How to Get Into the Bible is a wonderfully laid out book that really brings the messages of the Bible home. Each book of the Bible is reviewed. Timelines and maps of the surrounding areas, found in the first page or so of each review, help the reader keep straight complicated chronological and geographical data. Also at the end of each review is the encore section. This tells the reader where they can find similar material in other books of the Bible. I really liked the way the book is set-up. I enjoyed the shaded boxes, which highlight famous lines and ask, "did you know" questions about each book of the Bible. The section titled, How We Got Our Bible, is helpful. That is followed by a section highlighting the main points of Bible. This can help those who may not be familiar with many Bible stories. Moreover it serves as a good overview. This book is great because it is written for a variety of readers from different age groups. Teenagers on up could enjoy this book. You can choose to use the book as a reference book, read it as novel, or just read each review and then read the accompany book.

Summary: How To Get Into The Bible
Review: I am a teacher at a Christian School and we used this book for our Bible Literature class this year. I designed a curriculum using this book for our 9th grade students. It was a huge success! The "Big Scenes" at the end of each chapter keyed in on the main stories of each book. The life-like pictures helped the kids remember them for testing. Each chapter highlights the most important aspects to understanding each book of the Bible. I was very pleased with the way the information was gathered. Except for a few discrepancies in dates or historical info., this book is useful(As long as one reads the Bible along with this resource checking for accruacy according to God's Word!)Great resource book!

Review: I bought this book to be a companion in my bible study, but ended up reading it cover to cover. I like the way the writers have compared in timeline form, known world events and biblical events. They have also included archaeological facts for biblical events.
