I had this on my to-read shelf for a couple of years at least, and I finally got around to reading it, chapter by chapter before going to sleep. And I must say, I was pleasantly surprised! Obviously the book only covers some of the "highlights" of the Bible, but this allows the author (and us) to ex...
