The Bible, argues the author, is “the best self-help book of all time.” Reaching beyond a conventionally religious readership, What’s the Message? gives a fresh and positive approach, including “ponderings” that make sense of the ancient words of Scripture in contemporary terms. With the Bible basic story line in view, the author enables readers to interact intelligibly with the big themes: love of God and love of neighbor, mercy and forgiveness, effective prayer, faith and assurance, service to others, and spiritual renewal. While this book introduces new readers to the Bible who could otherwise be intimidated by its size and antiquity, its goal is ultimately to encourage readers to engage in a fuller study of the Bible than they have previously pursued… or even thought possible.
