“Mark Dever is an able and sure guide to the message of the Bible, which tells us what God wants of us all. The reader of this book is in reliable hands because the author depends not on himself but on the Word of God to answer life’s greatest questions. We cannot live lives that please God unless we know what God has said about himself and about us. This book will help you to know God through knowing his Son revealed in his Word.”

Thabiti Anyabwile, Pastor, Anacostia River Church, Washington, DC; author, What Is a Healthy Church Member?

“In this fantastic little book, Dever shows us what it means to say that Jesus Christ is the point of the Bible. He offers us a breathtaking, panoramic view of Scripture. Since the message of the Bible is so important, and since Dever has captured that message so succinctly, I’ll give this book away again and again—both to Christians eager to get a sense of the whole and to seekers wondering just what the Bible is all about.”

Aaron Menikoff, Senior Pastor,
Mount Vernon Bible Church, Sandy Springs, Georgia

“The Bible’s size and complexity can overwhelm many new readers. Mark Dever’s friendly overview both provides a map to its complexity and downsizes its message to the heart of the matter—what is the passion of God’s heart? Keep a bunch of these at your church for giving to anyone unfamiliar with the grand narrative of God’s Word.”
