Summarized Bible: Complete Summary of the New Testament
Most people have two or more Bibles in their home, and many people can point to two or three chapters and summarize their content (such as Genesis 1 or Psalm 23). Yet out of the millions of people who have Bibles, only a handful can summarize each book of the Bible, and almost no one can summarize each chapter of each book of the Bible.
In this helpful handbook to the Bible, one can attain a quick summary or overview of the Bible in a matter of hours. It provides more than just interesting facts—it makes personal application to your life—book by book and chapter by chapter.
The book can be read for its content, or it can be used side by side with a Bible as a handbook or commentary. It is a valuable tool for the Bible student, an extremely helpful aid for new Christians, and it deserves a place on the bookshelf of every Christian home.
Top Highlights
“Luther’s motto was, ‘To have prayed well is to have studied well.’ The time you spend in prayer is an immense advantage, not a hindrance, not a handicap, but an indispensable help to the understanding of God’s Word. Consider the seven conditions under which Bible study may be pursued: Regeneration, baptism of the Holy Spirit, ravenous appetite, unflagging industry, implicit obedience, reverent humility, ceaseless prayer.” (Page 6)
“A Christian has a mentality illuminated by the Holy Spirit.” (Page 4)
“PEOPLE are always asking, how shall I study the Bible? What is the best method? There is no short cut, no royal road, no magic method. Say to such an inquirer, ‘Read the Bible over and over again—not once, nor twice, nor thrice, but many, many times.’ And that is all any one can do. Read it until you become familiar, cognizant of its contents, until you are so familiar with your Bible, be it Bagster or Oxford, that you can close your eyes and visualize the passage by locating it upon a particular page just where it belongs.” (Page 3)
“God resisteth the proud and giveth grace unto the humble.’ But alas! when the consciousness of humility goes into the heart, the grace of humility goes out. Life is for learning, and there is no privilege greater than going to school. Christ is the Teacher, and we graduate into the High School of heaven to sit at His feet throughout eternity.” (Pages 5–6)
“That was a mental miracle. It was the Holy Spirit illuminating his mind in answer to prayer.” (Page 4)

This book is in my mobile app, even though I don't own it. It does not show up in my desktop library. Information from this book was somehow presented to me during a mobile app search. Under Ephesians 4, opinions were presented as fact. I suppose that's fine for someone to do in a book, but Logos presented this information to me as fact. (I believe I came across it during a Factbook search.) I am currently trying to figure out how to remove this "free" book from my mobile library.

One of my top two go-to sources. Gives a concise summary of each book and chapter of the Bible. Excellent for devotionals, and to gain a quick comprehension of the Bible. It sounds like it was written in the 1800s, yet it's rock-solid in eschatology. I'm not sure how they did this, but I highly recommend it. If anyone knows of similar works, please let me know!
