Book Synopsis
The Whole Truth is an easy-to-read Bible study that walks the reader through the entire Bible in chronological order, in one year. It is intended to accompany a plan (included) for reading the Bible.
A chronological reading plan is significant as the normal arrangement of the sixty-six books of the Bible may be hard to follow as a story line. The accounts were arranged in the best order possible, considering the content. They were grouped according to genre, i.e., Law, History, Poetry, Prophets, Gospels and Letters. The Bible is the inspired word of God and there is no error. If reading the entire word of God in a different (chronological) sequence enhances our understanding, that is the goal: understanding God's word and plan for us.
Beginning in Genesis, with the creation of the world and everything in it, and concluding with the promised return of the Lord in Revelation, The Whole Truth encourages the reader to read the scriptures and contemplate the messages. Most weekly chapters of the Whole Truth include pictures, commentary about the readings and a few questions to help the reader's understanding.
Reading the Bible from cover to cover requires commitment, and spiritual discipline. It may appear overwhelming, but breaking this, or any activity, into manageable increments ensures a successful outcome. Reading the entire Bible is the most spiritually beneficial endeavors in which a person can participate. The Bible is God's "love letter" to humanity...His plan for eternity with the Savior.
Review Quotes
"Excellent book if you want to read the Bible. Ms. Henry has a unique talent for helping people to understand the Bible in an interesting way. A perfect gift for anyone!" - CBP, TN
"Good New Year Resolution....I have read the entire Bible, but not in chronological order. Judy presents this as an overview which encourages you to use the Bible for in-depth reading. She has great insight and uses paraphrasing that any student level can understand and relate to. I believe she does this as a way to make the reader comfortable and not put off by pomp and pretense. I am grateful she has taken the time to bring more people into a better understanding of our Creator and why He wants us to be with Him for eternity." - Sandra Troutman, TN
"As a late comer to Christ, The Whole Truth was extremely helpful with catching up with others. Judy made it very easy to understand God's written word. Very helpful!" - Ed Sutton, Hendersonville, TN
