Book Review: 30 Days to Understanding the Bible: Unlock the Scriptures in 15 Minutes A Day


30 Days to Understanding the Bible:
Unlock the Scriptures in 15 Minutes A Day



Author:  Max Anders
Publisher:  Thomas Nelson Publishing
Pages:  385
Audience:  Adults
Genre:  Biblical Reference

30 Days to Understanding the Bible by Max Anders promises to help you understand the Bible in 15 minutes a day.  I can honestly say, Mr. Anders’s book does just that.  The book is divided in sections that make it possible to study/read in 15 minutes a day.  The way that Mr. Anders writes is great in that he breaks down key points in understandable terms.  I personally couldn’t put this book down; once I started learning I could not stop turning these pages.  In between sections, Mr. Anders developed mini-reviews that allow the reader to go over the material and at the end of each lesson there is a self-test for the reader to test their knowledge of the chapter just read.  I found these to be very helpful.

In sum, 30 Days to Understanding the Bible is highly recommended to anyone who wants to learn more about the Bible.  This book will lead you through the Books of the Bible and understanding the Word.  

Happy Reading!

Best of All Gifts by Sheila M. Cronin is a wonderful gem of a story of a family that has faced tough times and the power of forgiveness and love.  Jonquil Bloom, a psychology graduate student is a gift counselor at a department store.  She has a young son, Billy, who is entertaining and the center of Jonquil’s world.  Jonquil faces challenges with past loss, anger, and trust issues.  This affects her relationship with her boyfriend, Claude, who adds much needed light and life into Jonquil and Billy’s lives. 

Jonquil battles feelings of abandonment and anger that cause Jonquil to reflect and when she is faced with the object of her anger and abandonment issues, this is when Jonquil makes her ultimate character growth.

This is a well-written story with well-developed characters that will tug at your heartstrings.  Ms. Cronin knows how to tell a captivating and memorable story.  Best of All Gifts is a true gift for any time of year.  I recommend this book to anyone that wants to read a feel-good story about the love of family and how this love never ends.
