  • “The authors have given us solid biblical knowledge from a broadly ecumenical point of view that teachers from any Christian tradition can use with confidence.” (Rev. Dr. Jack Baca)

  • “A wonderful understanding of the “story” of the Bible. And what an amazing story it is! I love the correlation to history. There are many stories I have heard snippets of over time (Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses, the Tower of Babel etc.) but it was incredible to learn more about them in a Biblical context.”

  • “Reading the Bible for the first time – it’s no longer scary!”

  • “The most impactful and enjoyable part has been being together with this great group of women with the same goal of reading, understanding, discussing, and enjoying the Bible.”

  • “I wish I had this to help me through the Bible years ago when I was confirmed. I had a hard time understanding the Bible and I felt it wasn’t explained well along the way. You very succinctly connected the dots for me.”

  • “The book creates a storyline with six acts. This makes the Bible more interesting and easier to understand.” (Anh Dao, Goodreads)
