The Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture for its matter. It is all pure, all sincere; nothing too much; nothing wanting! J. Locke
In The Bible Simplified, by John H. Miller, a Christian author, the Bible – whose narrative spans over 4,000 years of history and even extends into eternity – is deconstructed and made approachable for a wider audience.
Miller has reaped great benefits from reading the Bible ever since he was a youngster. Its powerful influence, he says, has remarkably impacted his priorities, lifestyle, and thought processes. He explains in the opening chapters of this book how the Bible still carries a meaningful message for humanity today, and how at a time where truth is viewed as malleable and ever-changing, its veracity cannot be disregarded.
Miller provides a thorough analysis of Genesis, the book of beginnings, outlining the reason for man’s creation. Further exploring the history and way of life of God’s own people, the Jewish people, he shows how the interaction between the ancient and new testaments is facilitated by Jesus, the central figure. There are approximately 8 billion people in the world and approximately 2.2 billion Christians, he goes on to call out those who are rejecting the moral teachings of Jesus in classrooms and in society in general.
The world will gain enormously from this book because it demonstrates how to prevent this massive social and spiritual killer from spreading its poison. Its urgent call to action for every Christian to join the world’s largest God-given mission-evangelism is its main takeaway message, and one that the Christian community should take more seriously.
Miller’s appeal for people to preserve the Bible is clearcut. He has effectively demonstrated the Bible’s relevance even in our day and age, demonstrating how the whole text provides an amazing portrayal of God’s love and hope for humanity. The Bible Simplified, though succinct and simple, is unwavering in its mission to make the best-selling book in history understood. To both nascent and established Christians alike, I heartily endorse this text. This tiny little gem is packed with so many wonderful tidbits and incites and will encourage the reader to start a study of the Bible.
