The Bible For Beginners And The Rest of Us

Are you trying to read the Bible but you don’t get much from it? You know the Bible should make sense to you. But your question is, “Why am I having so much difficulty?” Or, you are an experienced student of the Bible. But you know there is much more for you to learn to make you comfortable.

The Bible For Beginners And The Rest of Us is designed to tell you what you need to know and do to truly understand the Bible? Over the past twenty years, God has prepared the author — Arlington McRae — and anointed him saying, “Feed My Sheep”. Under this anointing, with meticulous skill and care, he has written the first of five guidebooks that demonstrate how you can read and truly understand the Bible — God’s revelation of Himself to the world, and in particular, His revelation of Himself to you.

It is God’s desire to give you the ability to read, study and truly understand His Word for yourself. This book is written to help you do just that.

The Bible For Beginners And the Rest of Us, the first volume in the series, Bible Threads, offers us a power packed, Jesus inspired, potentially life-changing resource as it presents the Bible to us in its simplest form. Starting at the beginning, the author walks us through a new “perspective” and a new “context” for how we understand and interpret what we read.

It is designed for (a) those of us new to the Bible, and (b) those who never received a comprehensive overview of the Bible that makes sense to them, that fills in the blanks.

Additionally, in this volume, the author lays out the structure and the over all story – the big picture – of the Bible, to give us a broader context for how we interpret and unify the various books and stories.

Its purpose is to equip you to “discover Bible truths for yourself”. Therefore, at the completion of this volume, you will be encouraged to read your Bible and to study it more intelligently, with much more confidence, and with a satisfying sense of accomplishment.

The Bible for Beginners And The Rest of Us: A Guide to Making Basic Bible Sense—introduces you to the Bible and provides an eagle-eye view of the Bible and its essential message.

It provides significant information in a compact volume that is brief and to the point. A major part of its core content is contained in chart form with the understanding that "a picture is worth a thousand words".

In addition to the text, expanded discussion and/or additional content by other more reputable authors is available in the Expanded Version via web links (live web links in the digital versions) to relevant and insightful Internet resources.
