A Romp Through The Bible

This book is the result of many years of sharing with laypersons my love of the Bible. Like most people, I learned Bible stories at home and in the church; but never caught sight of the whole thing. No one ever put together for me the amazing kaleidoscope of prophets, historians, storytellers, and visionaries who tell of their own encounters with life and God in the Bible. ***** Dr. Phillippe reminds his readers that this is first and foremost a romp... " True to the definition of romp, "to play boisterously," he moves the reader quickly through the sixty-six books of the Old and New testament and fifteen of the Apocrypha and does it with a style he believes the writers would approve, even if the normally stodgy interpreters of the Bible might not. *****
