30 Days to Understanding the Bible Book Review

One of my goals for the new year has been to grow spiritually.  Over the past several weeks, I have had the opportunity to read and review 30 Days to Understanding the Bible by Max Anders.  What did I think of 30 Days to Understanding the Bible?

  
About the Book  

If you've ever confused the ark of the covenant with the ark of Noah, or Jericho with Jeroboam, Max Anders' classic book, 30 Days to Understanding the Bible, is for you. In just fifteen minutes a day, you'll learn the Bible's key people, events, and doctrines to get more out of God's Word. This simple-to-use, straightforward guide has been recommended by Bible teachers and pastors for thirty years, and now it's available in an expanded thirtieth anniversary edition—with the most requested topics from the original edition restored and updated for today's readers.

Features include:

  • The “Arc of Bible History” to help you visualize the Bible’s overarching themes
  • The “Story of the Bible” summarizing Genesis through Revelation in just a few pages
  • The core beliefs of the Christian faith, focusing on the teachings that have united Christians for the last 2,000 years
  • 13-week plan that provides teacher’s every creative and effective tool for teaching the Bible in 30 days 
  • Fan-favorite bonus content, previously removed, now restored from the original edition
 My Review 
30 Days to Understanding the Bible has an easy to use format.  The author breaks down the major passages of the Old and New Testaments into small, easy to understand chapters for readers.  While this book doesn't cover every passage--it covers enough to allow for an understanding of the people, places and events encountered.  Information is presented in a workbook like manner that allows readers to review the details learned again and again for understanding.

30 Days to Understanding the Bible makes an excellent reference tool.   I read the chapters of the book along with the relevant passages of the Bible.  The information truly did help my understanding--and it did help me form a stronger basis for further reading.

Would I recommend 30 Days to Understanding the Bible by Max Anders I think this book is very well written, well organized and effective for readers who are somewhat new to reading the Bible.   This book is more textbook / workbook oriented--and doesn't offer a lot of commentary nor author interpretations.  The chapters are the perfect length for a daily Bible lesson--and the text is easy to use and understand.  I would highly recommend it for anyone seeking a better understanding of the Bible's persons, places and events.
