The Chronological Guide to the Bible

I really enjoy reading from the Bible, its events and how I can relate it to my life. I felt however, that by understanding the history surrounding the events, it would be clearer to me the depth of the Bible. For this reason, I received the Chronological Guide to the Bible.

The Chronological Guide to the Bible serves as a great reference for those who want to get greater knowledge of the life and times of those in the Bible. I appreciated the vast number of charts and maps which help explain the timeline of events and where they took place. This book is not meant to be a devotional, but more of a supplement.

I think that the Chronological Guide to the Bible could have been laid out better. It seems to be jam packed with information, sometimes with four different focus points on one page. That I feel is the only setback to the book. The index is helpful and all in all I definitely see pros than cons in this book.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to put on the sandals and walk a little deeper into the history of the Bible.
