Bible History Books
Are there any good (legitimate) books that act like a "sparknotes" to the Bible?
Can you tell me about any other interesting books having to do with christianity, the bible, the history, etc. ? Books/material good for a regular 20-something year old.... not a 50 yr old Purdue scholar.
Yes...
Rhapsody of Realities is an awesome daily devotional that leads you into daily scripture study and prayer.
