The One Hour Bible

From Adam and Eve to Jesus and the Acts of the Apostles, the Bible is full of amazing stories that have made it the world's bestselling book. But who has time to read it from cover to cover?

The One Hour Bible makes it easy. This abridged version of the NLT text is the perfect way to get to know the Bible without having to read every chapter and verse. All it's brilliant, dramatic stories have been brought together and distilled into a single, easy-to-read and gripping book that will give you a complete overview of the Bible in just an hour.

No summary, no paraphrasing, no commentary - just the Bible's own story in the Bible's own words. The one Hour Bible is ideal for new Christians and for giving at outreach events or Alpha Course participants.
