In this way, readers can deepen their relationship with God. This book guides readers through different sections of the Bible, helping them to travel on a journey of faith and get sense of how the different parts of the Bible "fit together".In an opening section, "Getting Started: How to use this book", Stephen Travis writes: "What is the Bible? It is not, as I once thought, a black book full of small print and abscure religious language. It is a collection of books which tell how God has made himself known to human race and what is involved in responding to his love. It deals with the big questions I really want to ask -- What is the meaning of life? How can I know God? Is death the end? Can I make any sense of suffering? What makes a happy and stable society? How can I help build a world that is safe for my children?"Contents include: Beginnings; Prophets and Kings; Life and Worship; Exile and After; Good News; For All the World; Letters to Young Churches; and The Lord Is King.
