Do you want to understand the Bible better? It is the best selling book year after year. Explain the Bible clearly to your kids. Understand its meaning for yourself. Or consider learning more, if only, to understand the history of westernized civilization.

The book, The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus by John R. Cross is an excellent resource for fitting all the pieces together in order to see the Bible’s big picture. The author starts at Genesis and explains God’s story as it unfolds throughout history. He shows how Jesus stands at the climax of this story. I highly recommend it for personal growth or family reading.

Here is what Amazon says:

[The Bible has] been called ‘the most misunderstood book in history.’ Wars have been fought in its name, scandals have been precipitated by it, politics shaped and reshaped at its word. Theologians have both defended and reviled it. Skeptics have done the same. If you are a typical member of the human race, you have often been perplexed by all the “fuss” surrounding the Bible. The question remains, “What does it really say?” Here is a book that explains the greatest of Bible themes clearly and logically. Rather than focusing on one part—and missing the whole—the author chronologically binds together the entire text into one great universal drama, looking at events from the perspective of those who experienced history in the making. The results are sometimes comical, sometimes frightening—but always true to the intent of the text. When you are done reading it, you may find yourself believing “the Book” like you never have before. Or you may decide not to. The author’s objective approach leaves that decision up to you. “Even though I had attended church for over 30 years, the Bible never made sense to me. It was just a bunch of disjointed stories. Now the Bible all fits together in a clear, logical manner. It really is incredible.”
