Many people would love to search for truth in the Bible but are intimidated by its size, or the length of time its story spans, or the distance between our day and the cultural settings of the biblical authors, or certain questions about the historical reliability and contemporary relevance of Scripture. The Holman Illustrated Bible Handbook is designed to overcome the obstacles people have to understanding the Bible. It begins with an essay on "How to Read and Study the Bible" and then provides a brief and basic overview of each of the Bible's 66 books: each book's author, main message, evidences of authenticity, and historical context. In addition to the full-color maps, photographs, reconstructions, and charts that equip readers throughout the volume, a smartphone-accessible QR code is included for each chapter that leads to related online teaching from noted Bible scholar Gene Getz.

The Bible Guide: A Concise Overview of All 66 Books provides a brief and concise overview of each book in the Bible. Included is a concise summary of each book's circumstances of writing, message and purpose, structure, and contribution to the Bible. A practical take-away helps apply a principle from each book to everyday life. In addition, there are essays on the origin, transmission, and canonization of the Old and New Testaments and each of the major divisions of the Bible. The concise format, economical price, and easy-to-understand content make this a fantastic and accessible resource for personal study or to give as a gift to a family member or friend.

Marriage is great, but marriage is hard. A continual learning experience. An up-close, totally exposed, nowhere-to-hide sharing of life's everythings--the good and the not-so-good--where the real you becomes really known. Even to yourself. And where grace and forgiveness, both given and received, are able through God to become more raw and redemptive than you ever thought possible. 30 Days to Your Best Marriage is a prime way to keep your relationship growing and thriving. It provides the kind of spiritual connection point that helps you walk hand-in-hand together, traveling through Bible verses that focus on the covenant of marriage and the impact God intends it to create on each of you, individually and as a couple. After 30 days of focusing on your marriage through the lens of Scripture, you'll begin to experience a new joy in doing life together.
