30 Days to Understanding the Bible by Max Anders
I’m two weeks into the book 30 Days to Understanding the Bible by Max Anders. Max has done an excellent job on how to “understand” the Bible – not merely read. The book starts off with helpful background on the History and Geography of the Bible and then goes through the various periods and principal characters. The illustrations are excellent – and help frame the context and key points of every segment of the Bible.
I was hesitant at first because reading vs understanding the bible is two different things. When I was younger I memorized verses but I no longer have them memorized. If I’m going to read it I want to remember it and be able to quote it. So far so good I’m learning and I appreciate the overview and seeing how things line up.
This book is an excellent resource for someone just starting to read the Bible for the first time or for those who have read it but want to learn more about the organization of the Bible. It has an excellent way to help remember the information and the structure of the Bible not just for a short time, but to put it into long-term memory.
