Age: Written for adults and teens, but understood by children as young as 10.

Appropriate for these audiences: Explains the Bible’s message in way that people from a Islamic cultural background (but not necessarily Muslim by conviction) can understand without mixing the Islamic and biblical worldview.

Bible verses: Told as a story, weaving 1244 Bible verses throughout the narrative. The reader engages with the text of the Bible for himself.

Illustrated: Uses over 100 drawings, maps and diagrams to help explain the story.

Chronological: Begins with the creation of the universe and then, progressing sequentially through key Old Testament stories, it moves into the New Testament to reveal the meaning of the cross and the tomb. The main story of the Bible is tied together into one universal, all-encompassing drama. Follows the same storyline as The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus but is 25% different. The difference is significant.

Based on the gospel of John: Uses the gospel of John as a template; at the same time, provides necessary background stories to give the gospel context. It assumes the reader knows very little, if anything, about the Bible.

Peels religious tradition off the Bible: Introduces readers to the Bible without the trappings of religion.

Objective: Allows the Bible to speak for itself in presenting the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no arm-twisting to believe. The message is presented objectively; the decision to believe or not to believe is left to the reader.

Designed to give away: The book can be passed on like a gospel tract. People can then learn the Bible's message for themselves.

Designed to use in a course: Used as the student's book in Worldview Rethink.
