Through the years as a pastor's wife and teacher, Marjorie has written lessons for Bible studies, the classroom, and speaking engagements. This is her first attempt to write a summary like this one.

There are many people who either don't have the time or don't take the time to learn more about their Bibles. This summary is designed to give the reader a condensed knowledge of each book of the Bible. They will learn who the main characters are as well as the main lesson God wanted them to learn. These are followed by a brief challenge to apply those lessons to their own lives.

For over a year, Marjorie expanded these into lessons to teach the ladies in her Tuesday morning Bible study. Hopefully, other teachers will use these summaries with Scripture references as a springboard to form lessons they teach as they form a series of their own.

This summary is also a good tool for readers to use to get a glimpse at each book to refresh their knowledge of the Bible. It will also make a good gift for those just beginning their studies in the Bible.
