What is the Jesus Bible and why should you bother reading it? 
 The whole Bible from beginning to its end is about Jesus. His story, the thirty-three years He lived on this earth as a walking, eating, breathing man, is told in just four books four of the sixty-six books that we call The Bible. 
 The four tell the one story of Jesus sometimes they tell the same story from different perspectives and sometimes they tell something unique to their own experience of Jesus. 
 It can be confusing four tellings of the same story. The Jesus Bible takes all four accounts and combines them into one seamless story. 
 One story; four storytellers. To help keep each of the four voices distinct, the Jesus Bible assigns one version of the Bible to each of the four authors. Matthew s contribution to the Jesus Bible will be the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV). Mark, the New Living Translation (NLT). Luke, the New American Standard Bible (NASB). John, the New International Version (NIV).
 After you have read the story of Jesus as told in Part One of the Jesus Bible (a harmony of the four gospels) read in Part Two how Jesus shows up in every single book of the Bible. (Part Two of the Jesus Bible will be the English Standard Version, ESV). You will be surprised and amazed at the Jesus predictions, the Jesus connections, and the Jesus prophecies that you will encounter in every book of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.

What is the 30 Second Bible and why should you bother reading it? 
 The #1 criticism of the Bible by those who do not read it on a daily basis is that the Bible is boring and irrelevant. Well, it can be.
 The Bible was written in three different ancient languages, thousands of years ago by and for people who were from wildly different cultures than our own. Without a basic understanding of the life and times of Biblical events, most people struggle to get something out of it. But, although some of the Bible may be difficult to understand, much of the Bible is very understandable and surprisingly relevant to our lives and time. 
 The 30 Second Bible presents the Word of God in small, clear, understandable verses. Then, to help apply these verses to your life, the 30 Second Bible adds a few guiding thoughts, capped off with a question that will help you reflect throughout your day on what you have read. All of this in 30 seconds. You ll be surprised at how often the verses you read each day fit exactly with what you are facing and experiencing.

What is the Sampler Bible and why should you bother reading it?
 Although the Bible has been the best-selling book every year in a row since the invention of the printing press (a 500 year run), it often sits on shelves...unread.
 So how can the Sampler Bible help you overcome some of these stumbling blocks?
 1. It is relatively small. At 1/4 of the full Bible, it only would take the average person 25 hours to read.
 2. It is understandable. Care was exercised in choosing the main events for the Sampler Bible, and notes on the side help explain what might be difficult to figure out.
 3. It is surprisingly relevant. Again, because the Sampler Bible is only the highlights of the full Bible, it contains events and issues of the Bible that are easy to relate to with your life.
 4. It is interesting. Not only does the Sampler Bible give you the most interesting samples of each book of the Bible, it also gives you samples of the most popular versions (translations) of the Bible (19 different versions were used in the Sampler Bible).
 5. It is straightforward. Since the Sampler Bible is only the highlights of the full Bible, you can just start reading it from the beginning - just like any book you might read.
 6. It could be life-changing. The words found in the Sampler Bible have influenced so much: architecture, philosophy, art, history, science, literature, and most importantly, lives.
