A New Paradigm
In this new series - BIBLE THREADS, Keys to Understanding the Bible - award-winning author Arlington McRae offers us a fresh new 21st century paradigm for how we approach the Bible and understand its essential message. Not a new message; but a new perspective of the Bible as a whole to significantly increase our understanding of it. This series is an invaluable resource to guide us on our journey to truly comprehending the Bible and its applicability to our lives. The Bible For Beginners And the Rest of Us, the first volume in the series, offers us a power packed, Jesus inspired, potentially life-changing resource as it presents the Bible to us in its simplest form. Starting at the beginning, the author walks us through a new "perspective" and a new "context" for how we understand and interpret what we read. It is designed for (a) those of us new to the Bible, and (b) those who never received a comprehensive overview of the Bible that makes sense to them, that fills in the blanks. Additionally, in this volume, the author lays out the structure and the over all story - the big picture - of the Bible, to give us a broader context for how we interpret and unify the various books and stories. Its purpose is to equip you to "discover Bible truths for yourself." Therefore, at the completion of this volume, you will be encouraged to read your Bible and to study it more intelligently, with much more confidence, and with a satisfying sense of accomplishment. This volume is published in two versions: Standard and Expanded . The Expanded Version includes the content of the Standard Version plus it adds an additional chapter and connects you to an extended library of relevant online resources to extend your biblical depth and comprehension. From the Author
The Bible For Beginners And the Rest of Us is not just for beginners but also for those who never started at the beginning.What do I mean? Do you remember when you became a Christian? Did anyone guide you through the Bible story, in an orderly fashion, from the beginning to end? Do you have a systematic and logical understanding of the Bible's message? If not, this book is for you. Read it. Digest it. Then apply it as you read your Bible from cover to cover. Remember to A.S.K. (Ask, Seek, Knock, Matthew 7:7-8) the Holy Spirit to teach you as you read. And please, do not forget togive Him thanks and praise daily for what He teaches you. And as always, all the glory belongs to God, the Father, and to His Son, Jesus May you enjoy it as much as I have. Arlington McRae

Several years ago, I stopped by a Christian bookstore just to browse. Stepping into the store, the Holy Spirit immediately took charge and overwhelmed me with what at the time looked like thousands and thousands of books that filled shelf after shelf after eight-foot shelves. Then He asked me, Why all these books? I was silent. People spend much time reading books about the Bible, little time actually reading the Bible itself.Perhaps you are one of those persons trying to read the Bible but you cannot make sense of it. Why is that? Why don't we understand the Bible in a life-changing way? I am convinced it is primarily because we lack the keys to unlock its life-changing message.The Bible For Beginners And the Rest of Us: A Guide To Making Basic Bible Sense presents the Bible in its simplest form. Starting at the beginning, the author presents a simple “perspective” and a broad “context” for how we understand and interpret what we read. You will find these concepts easy to understand and easy to embrace.Additionally, in this volume, the author lays out the structure and the over all story – the big picture – of the Bible to enhance the context for interpreting and connecting the various books and stories.Following the guidelines and summary perspectives in this book, you will be equipped to read your Bible enthusiastically and with joy. Upon completion of your careful study of this guide, you will have a comprehensive overview of the Bible story and its core message and the confidence that you can read it, interpret and understand what you read. It will inspire you to read the Bible often and apply your new knowledge to the way you live your life. It will also encourage you to share what you have learned with your friends and love ones.A New Paradigm
