#areviewof: A guide to Bible Basics

A review of: A Guide to Bible Basics by Tyler D. Mayfield 
This book was offered to me for review all thoughts are my own. 

Synopsis

(from the books description)
What's actually in the Bible? Where do we find the story of Moses or Jesus's Parable of the Prodigal Son? Who are the main characters in the books of Joshua and Acts? A Guide to Bible Basics provides a summary and chapter outline of each biblical book to facilitate comprehension of its fundamental story and subject matter. This accessible and concise book presents the basic content of the Bible with the conviction that readers first need some level of comprehension of the Bible's stories, poetry, regulations, and teachings before addressing theological, historical, and literary concerns for its relevance today. Tyler Mayfield discusses important people, places, and terms so that the reader can quickly see the primary focus. This book can be used alone to help readers in their knowledge of the Bible and is great for beginners or those in need of a refresher course.

​My Thoughts:

This blog is called share the story. In which I try to encourage and inspire readers to share God’s story through everyday living, thinking, and personal evangelism. Sometimes though we question how to share the story. Maybe we don’t fully know the story or only know pieces of the story. That is where a bible handbook would come in… handy! A guide to Bible Basics is a great option. 
 
Mayfield offers book by book and chapter by chapter descriptions of the biblical narrative. He offers ample charts and graphs that help bring the full narrative into view. There are plenty of great options to choose from and this book is one of them. My only suggestion is get a physical copy trying to read this through kindle was not the easiest or most enjoyable. If you want to lear the story better check out this book.
