by Dean Kalahar (Author)

In a 21st century world of smart phones, social media, and instant access to almost everything, far too many just don't have the time, patience, or focus necessary to sit down and read the entire Bible. Still others want to explore Christianity or strengthen their faith because their understanding is limited and unfulfilling but do not have a resource that can cut to the core of the greatest book ever written. Now there is a solution. The Best of the Bible: New Testament scriptures condensed and sequenced to understand the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The Best of the Bible takes the most significant words and teachings of the New Testament and makes the Bible accessible to everyone in just 139 pages. The goal was to share the Bible in a user friendly format without changing a word, not an easy task. This allows a clear understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus so readers can make their own decision to move towards Christ's mission. For others of faith, this work will only strengthen their hearts. The New International version was used as the primary source for the scriptures, and no words have been altered from the text of any English Bible translation. What has been done is a painstaking removal of passages and verses in the 27 books of the New Testament to give the story a scope, sequence, and size found nowhere else. The least teachable or redundant passages have been removed that share the same stories and historical record. Sequencing also took place in order to give the life and teachings of Jesus a contextual timeline. The Best of the Bible Is the perfect starting point for anyone looking for understanding, inspiration, and hope through Jesus Christ; or for those who want to revisit the Bible to strengthen their faith.
