You'd like to read the Bible-- if only it would cut to the chase. Russell strips it of arcane language and interminable passes, so that each book of the Bible is condensed down to its core message, no more than a few pages each. His accurate retelling is a must-read for anyone who wants to see past the fog of religious agendas and cultural debates.

Presents stories from the Old and New Testaments with more than 150 illustrations and additional background information on the Bible.
