The Sampler Bible Steve Elzinga

What is the Sampler Bible and why should you bother reading it? Although the Bible has been the best-selling book every year in a row since the invention of the printing press (a 500 year run), it often sits on shelves...unread. So how can the Sampler Bible help you overcome some of these stumbling blocks? 1. It is relatively small. At 1/4 of the full Bible, it only would take the average person 25 hours to read. 2. It is understandable. Care was exercised in choosing the main events for the Sampler Bible, and notes on the side help explain what might be difficult to figure out. 3. It is straightforward. Since the Sampler Bible is only the highlights of the full Bible, you can just start reading it from the beginning - just like any book you might read. 4. It could be life-changing. The words found in the Sampler Bible have influenced so much: architecture, philosophy, art, history, science, literature, and most importantly, lives.
