Summary: A reworking and expansion of a leaner book
Review: If you can find the earlier Philip Yancey book, A Guided Tour of the Bible, get it. It includes six months of daily readings. This newer book simply takes that slim-but-elegant volume and interweaves six more months of readings from Brenda Quinn. It reaches serviceable result, but the briefer introduction sufficed.

Summary: A great summary of the bible
Review: If you tried to read the bible (like me) and couldn't (like me) because it doesn't make sense and you don't know what you're reading half the time then read this book. it tells the entire story of the bible in a language that you and I can understand. It basically summarizes everything in the bible so you only get what's important. So if you want to read the bible but don't want to READ the bible then this is the book for you. It contains 365 segments each of which is 1-3 pgs. but i just read it staight through in a couple months.

Summary: Best Devotional I Have Ever Seen!
Review: One of the hardest things for Christians to do is to feel like they can tackle the entire Bible in a refreshing and disciplined manner. Yancey and Quinn have finally provided a way for that to happen. Although the readers of "Meet the Bible" will not cover every verse of Scripture, the authors to a fantastic job of making sure that the reader covers the main themes of each book of the Bible. What's even more benificial is that after each of the 365 readings, Yancey and Quinn see to it that the reader understands the historical and practical issues of significance of the passages have just read. If you have desired a devotional that will help you undersatand scripture in its entirety as well as answering the all-important "what does it have to do with me?" this is by far the best tool I have ever seen to give your relationship with God the boost it so often needs. As a Pastor, I highly suggest you buy it. It'll be the best [money] you ever spent!
