____________READERS’ COMMENTS ABOUT HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE: A SIMPLE GUIDE (WordWay, 2014)
“Clear, easy to read, great explanations… and in everyday language. It provides a ‘big picture’ of the Bible and how I can understand it better. It’s a resource I’ll refer to quite often… and encourage others to also. This is a MUST READ!”
“Rarely have I seen a book take something as misunderstood as the Bible and make it so simple to understand. It is clear, concise, interesting and well written. It’s gave me both an explanation of all aspects of the Bible and the encouragement to approach God’s word with confidence.”
“This is a GREAT resource for ANYONE. If you are new to reading the Bible or if you’ve been reading it for years … there’s good information in this book for you.”
