I like this book as an introduction to Christianity. There's no good reason to snub an introduction just because you've been born again for seventeen years already. A refresher is always useful. Despite that I disagree with the author on certain small and fairly inconsequential details. Essentially, he's too willing to make unwarranted assumptions. For instance, he assumes that Noah took dinosaurs aboard the ark whereas the Bible doesn't specify that; and he assumes that when the serpent tempted Eve, Adam was standing right there listening.
There's a reason that my church asks people to read this book before officially joining.

I think this book has some good information. I wanted there to be more though. The author did a decent job at explaining certain things in the Bible, especially at the beginning; but i found the ending to be repetitive. I do think it made me feel more open to Christianity though.
Great book! I would highly recommend it to anyone new to Christianity and/or anyone confused about how Jesus' life and death matter.
Loved this book, a very simplistic way to walk through and explain the entire Bible. Puts the focus on Christ and not on us.
