What Is the Bible?: How an Ancient Library of Poems, Letters, and Stories Can Transform the Way You Think and Feel about Everything by Rob Bell

challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

I bought this book ages ago in a cathedral we visited and by the time I started reading it I couldn’t remember why I’d bought a book called ‘what is the bible?’

So I had no idea what to expect going in, only that something about it caught my eye. From the first chapter I was hooked (and also surprised). The first chapter about Moses was like ‘oh okay, this is not the normal kind of bible study book!’

Digging into the real meaning behind specific or obscure passages I absolutely loved how the author made everything so accessible and easy to read, and fun too. 

I would definitely recommend this book, especially if you’ve read and struggled with certain parts of the bible before.
