The Lightning-Fast Field Guide to the Bible: Your Compact Companion for Exploring the Best Book Ever

The Lightning-Fast Field Guide to the Bible offers a quick and smart breakdown of each book of Scripture to help you discover "must-know" facts--who, what, where, when, and why--along with fresh and surprising takes on questions you didn't even know to ask.

You want to understand the Bible better, but you don't need a huge commentary with hard-to-understand words. The Lightning-Fast Field Guide to the Bible fills that gap by using concise, playful, and relatable language to tell you everything you want to know and more about the most influential document in history.

With skill and humor, creator and host of The Ten Minute Bible Hour Matt Whitman helps you:

• Grasp key details about each book of the Bible in just minutes • Better understand and appreciate the overarching story of Scripture • Keep key information at your fingertips as you study the Bible • Discover that learning about Scripture can be fun, fast, and easy

For each book of the Bible, this field guide covers essential facts--like original audience and historical context--as well as tidbits you likely never thought of, like the personality of the author, the most shocking moment, and "stuff you can still look at" in archaeological sites across the Middle East.

Altogether, this compact companion and quick-reference guide brings the Bible alive and helps you explore God's Word in ways you never thought possible.
