Dr. Bergsma is a captivating and engaging professor of Theology at Franciscan University, where I first encountered this delightful method of remembering Bible basics. He uses the most simple things - like stick figures- to teach God's relationship with His people as He moves through ever widening covenant with us. (In case you wondered, yes, the stick figure drawings were required on his tests.) This makes for a memorable and fun way to get the overview of Scripture. Toddlers to seniors will enjoy learning the Bible and how much God loves us and provides for us using this wonderful resource.

Fantastic high level overview of Christian Salvation history. Concise and compelling. Stick figure illustrations are excellent visual aids for retaining the basic information particularly for those prefer graphics to text. Would recommend to non-Catholics as relatively small amount of Catholic-specific content.

Strongly recommended for Christian, mostly Catholic, who would not want to do a lots of research/reading but still able to grasp the very main point/ view of the salvation history, the Old Testament, from the Adamic covenant to the eternal covenant; John Bergsma's knowledgeably excellently sharing with his readers his work- with super thorough explanation in very simple, graphically- creating a very relax, enjoyable reading yet very deep insight! So fall in love with it, I ordered most of his books following this one and has not been any regret since then!
