The 5-Minute Visual Guide to the Bible

I thought this looked like a cool book, so I requested it to review. It is not a huge book, coming in at 294 pages, but there is a lot packed into those pages. It covers from Creation up through Jesus' return, and has a lot of short informational facts about each person or topic. The book is also filled with a lot of pictures. There are artists' versions of Bible characters and other things along with a lot of photographs of the Holy Land and other subjects and places. At the end of the book is a few pages of all of the Scriptures referenced and used throughout the book. I found the book interesting and informative, and also enjoyable with all of the pictures and photographs. If one knows their Bible very well, this may seem an elementary kind of book, yet even the most knowledgeable Bible scholar should be able to enjoy a book such as this. I found it interesting to have so much of the Bible visualized in the pictures, and it would make a great tool to keep handy when reading and studying the Bible. It is definitely an attractive and far from boring book, and is one I would recommend......especially to new Christians and/or those not too familiar with the Bible.

Are you a visual learner? Do pictures and illustrations help you better understand what you are reading? If so, this new book from Barbour Publishing is the perfect addition to your Bible study and devotion time. The 5-Minute Visual Guide to the Bible covers all of The Holy Bible, from the Creation to Jesus' Return, and it is filled with timelines, photographs, paintings, and maps that truly enhance Michael Wittmer's interesting narrative. I especially like that there are two pages devoted to each topic: one of text plus one of visual material, and I also appreciate the Scripture Index in the back. The 5-Minute Visual Guide to the Bible is a unique resource and I recommend it to all who want to increase their knowledge and understanding of God's Word! I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review. These are my own thoughts.
