From the Back Cover

Grisly killings . . . passionate love . . . tyrants and tragedy . . . prophets and praise. That would be the Old Testament of the Bible -- one of the most in-your-face reads of your life. It's the all-time bestseller (really), full of adventure, romance, history, and war -- not to mention supernatural phenomena. So if the Bible is this hot, why don't you read it? Yeah, well, I don't understand it . . . and it's, uh, way long . . . and it's all that old King John language, King James, whatever. Okay then, don't read the Bible. Yet. Start with Downloading the Bible: A Rough Guide to the Old Testament. It's short, it has pictures, and it tells you the who, what, why, and when of wilderness, promised lands, kings, poems, and prophets. It actually makes history cool (unlike Dr. Devon in period 3 World History). And if you're not careful, one thing may lead to another . . . and you just may be tempted to pick up the Bible itself and check it out. After all, amazing things happen in it. Amazing things also happen to people who meet God in it.
