Michael F. Bird

7 Things I Wish Christians Knew about the Bible

Jonathan Tysick

Bird effectively provides a “Bible 101” course in under 200 pages. While there are other fantastic books that discuss how to read the Bible, I can’t think of any accessible book that better provides a comprehensive treatment of all things Bible: history, hermeneutics, authority, inspiration, truthfulness and purpose. All this while being practical, engaging and laugh-out-loud humorous.

I loved this book. I wish I could have read it five years ago when I became a Christian as an introduction to what the Bible is and how to read it. Every chapter put words to something that I slowly discovered and came to believe over five years of study, listening, and thinking about the Bible. Yet the book also imparted a lot of fresh revelation and insights about the reading of the Bible that I did not yet have. I'm grateful that Michael Bird took the time to bless the world with this easy-to-read, thoughtful, and immensely helpful book. One of my favourites and a book that I will definitely recommend to all of my believing friends.
