I'm always eager to check out books that will help me in my Bible study. Daily Bible reading is part of my devotion time but I often have questions. Having an opportunity to preview this new guide is especially gratifying because Dr. Susan Michael does what the subtitle suggests: she helps me "read the Bible so that it comes to life"!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Many people want to read and study the Bible but don’t know where to start, or when they do read it, they don’t connect how the events, people, and places fit together and quickly lose interest. And some don’t wholeheartedly believe what the Bible says. Yet International Christian Embassy Jerusalem USA Director Susan Michael says the Bible is the most exciting book on the planet—and understanding the story behind the stories changes everything. In these pages you
Join Susan on a journey that will deepen your faith and walk with the Lord like none other. Encounter the 3D Bible is more than a Bible study; it’s a study about the Bible that will bring a more profound understanding to every sermon you hear and Bible study you participate in.

If you want your Bible to go from 2D to 3D, this book is for you. But be ready—it might just change your life! 


CONTENTS NOTE

The book Encounter the 3D Bible is divided into 8 chapters and includes a foreword by bestselling author and Bible teacher Kay Arthur, an Old Testament Timeline (Appendix A), and recommended resources (Appendix B). 

The chapters are titled

Why Study the Bible?

The People of the Bible
The God of the Bible
The Search Begins




MY THOUGHTS.....

"Interpreting the New Testament without a proper understanding of the Old Testament is like coming into a play at intermission and wondering why we don't understand what's happening or who certain characters are.  The Old Testament is the foundation of the New Testament---and our faith."

I know that many people believe that the New Testament is what Christians need to live by but we must never forget that the Old Testament was given to us for a purpose. All of the events recorded in the Old Testament set the groundwork for the coming of Christ! Now, there is a guide to help us better understand that groundwork. Dr. Susan Michael points out God's relationship with both the Jews and the Gentiles when He began His plan for our Salvation, and she reminds us just how important the nation of Israel is to all Christian believers!

This book has eight chapters that are filled with maps, pictures, and easy-to-understand text. An Old Testament Timeline and Recommended Resources are included at the end and there is also a link for a free downloadable resource that offers so much more information. The tips and biblical concepts are keys to a better understanding of God's Word, and I recommend Encounter the 3D Bible as a wonderful resource for both novice and mature Christians!

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via FrontGate Media. There was no obligation for a positive review.
