The Bible is the best-selling book of all time and its importance cannot be overestimated. It informs the lives, cultures, and politics of millions of people around the world, and I bet you don't even know who Esua is! (He traded his birthright to his brother Jacob for some stew.) Do you actually know what went down in Sodom and Gomorrah? Does the Tower of Babel ring a bell, or do you need to clean the cobwebs out of your belfry?This light and witty reference book will give readers a base knowledge that will make them feel like experts. From Genesis to resurrection, all the stories you should know and love are condensed for ease of understanding and entertainment. Spotlights on biblical references in pop culture will keep the tone upbeat and relevant to all. With a new handle on everything Ephesian, you can impress your minister, reawaken your faith.
