Top Highlights
“The Bible leads us into truth about ourselves—where we came from and why we are here. Humans, too,” (Page 15)
“Even more so, we are no longer even able to obey God and fulfill this purpose; we are dysfunctional. ‘The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so’ (Romans 8:7).” (Page 15)
“So how can a person be saved? First, acknowledge your sin and helplessness to God. Second, acknowledge your total dependence upon what Jesus has accomplished through his death and resurrection. And finally, accept God’s gift of salvation. The best way to do this is by talking to God through prayer.” (Page 20)
“Sin refers to anything that is contrary to God or his will. This is the condition of all people born since the time of Adam.” (Page 18)
“I am convinced of and committed to basic ideas such as these: The Bible is what it claims to be—the very Word of God, without error, completely true and trustworthy; Jesus Christ is who he claimed to be—fully and eternally God as well as fully human; Jesus Christ really did die historically and physically, really was resurrected historically and physically, and he really is coming back to earth physically and visibly; and finally, faith in Jesus Christ is the only way for sinners like all of us to be accepted by God and enjoy his presence forever.” (Page 11)
Dr. Aaron has produced a user-friendly handbook that should be the constant companion of anyone who reads the Bible. Here’s a book that eliminates all excuses for not reading the Bible.

What a gem! Aaron’s style makes this book easy to read, but it gives the reader a comprehensive look at the Bible. I would recommend it for every new Christian and for those who would like a better understanding of how Scripture fits together. The text is rich with Biblical references which are easily accessed in the LOGOS version of the book. My only regret is that I can’t loan out the LOGOS version. Guess I’ll need to get a print version too.
