What People are Saying About This

Paul Kerensa

"What an amazing concept—and why in the world hasn't it been done before? This compelling, concise, slimmed-down Scripture is a must for anyone who finds those 66 books a tad daunting. In today's busy world, this is a book for everyone's bookcase—except it won't be on there much as you'll be reading it or lending it."

Sister Wendy Beckett

"This book is a brilliant and inventive taster. It introduces the reader to the actual words of scripture: no paraphrases, no 'stories of', just the revealed words of God so arranged as to give a hint of the wonder of the Bible in its full dimensions."

Jeremy Vine

"For those who've been putting aside two years in later life to read the Bible from cover to cover, the good news is: the most important bits are here."
