Excellent overview of Scripture. Good book for both the mature in the faith and the new believer. Would make an excellent study for new believers.
LibraryThing member HGButchWalker
Based on a series of messages that Carson has been giving to secular audiences to introduce them to the basic ideas of Christianity. Good foundation with some really thoughtful ideas. Highly recommended.
