30 Days to Understanding the Bible is one of those books that I did not realize I needed until I started reading it. The author, Max Anders, claims that if you read a chapter a day (roughly 15 minutes of reading), for 30 days, you will learn the story of the entire Bible. This includes all the major men and women, all the major events, and all the major points of geography. This claim immediately piqued my interest because even though I have been reading the Bible since I was a child, the breadth and scope of the Bible has always seemed intimidating and overwhelming to me.
I am a visual learner, but I feel like most of the Bible instruction I receive these days is audio (sermons, podcasts, etc.). I do read a lot of books about Christian living, but they are usually topical in nature. I have done Bible Study Fellowship, which provides in-depth study of certain books of the Bible. However, I have been missing a comprehensive guide to the overall story of the Bible. 30 Days to Understanding the Bible is that guide. I am not surprised that over 500,000 copies have been sold and that it is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary!
After reading just the first chapter, I could see that this book would be a valuable resource. The way Anders breaks down concepts and organizes information in charts is extremely illuminating. I also really like how there are self-tests at the end of each chapter to review and solidify the information in your head. I am looking forward to going through this book for 30 days and gaining a better grasp of the Bible in its entirety!
