Mettle Guide to the Bible by Jonathan Brant
you, me - we're all caught up in this amazing story.Starting with a brief look at the Bible's overall plot-line, the Mettle Guide goes on to give summaries of all sixty-six 'mini-books' in God's Word, some background info on Bible places and cultures, facts about the main characters and more. God's plan is not to confuse you;
Mettle Guide to the Bible is an excellent pocket manual that will engage and inform today’s teenagers and uses a similar format to the Mettle daily dated Bible reading notes, produced in collaboration with Youth for ChristYoung people can find that reading the Bible is a bit like trying to watch satellite TV without a decoder - the action and storyline appear and disappear through a thick fog. It is possible to think they have got the gist of what the Bible is teaching only to quickly lose the thread. The original context and the cast of historical characters can leave them baffled and unconvinced that the Bible has any relevance to life today. In this exciting addition to the Mettle series for 14-18-year-olds, Jonathan Brant offers a ‘decoder’ for young people as they read the Bible. Stressing the importance of reading the actual Bible as well as this guide, he explains how the people of the Bible lived, what they liked and disliked, what they were afraid of and what their concerns were, as well as when and why a particular book of the Bible was written. The guide opens with a really helpful and enjoyable introduction that outlines how to approach Bible reading. The body of the guide is stylishly designed with pithy, grabbing sub-sections. ‘INTERESTING BITS!’ stands out and helpfully sums up the section just read. The Mettle Guide for the Bible is written in language that 14-18s will understand and includes colour maps and illustrations. -- Steve King
