Official Review: The Bible in a Nutshell by Dele Babalola

[Jackie Holycross]

I have a Bible that is written in chronological order rather than in the standard order. It makes much more sense to me that way.

That would be nice to have. What version is this? Would they have an ecopy?

It's called the Chronological Bible. I bought it years ago, so I'm not sure about e-copies.

If this piece is as uplifting as the Bible is intended to be, I'd certainly hope that it gets to have the final touches on the technical flaws you've mentioned. In that way, it could maximise its potentials in spreading the word. You've just reminded me of my long-delayed plan of further Bible study, too. Thank you for your thorough and thoughtful review.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's never too late or too early to take steps for spiritual growth. The time is always right.

The author's story reminds me of Paul's conversion in the Bible. I applaud him for daring condense the 66 books of the Bible into one. I hope he gets an editor, and undertakes more research to address the inconsistencies. He should also be clear on what are his personal opinions, and what are 'gospel truths' - just like Paul of the Bible! Thanks for the wonderful review!

Thanks for your time and thoughts, Cotwani!

Another meticulous-Miriam review! Well, it's a nice venture the author embarked on, with the aim of condensing the bible chapters for easier digestion. However, such technical errors aren't to be trifled with because they are strong credibility drainers, since this is a religious book. However, I won't be reading it because some teachings it contains are in stark contrast with my beliefs, especially those of Rapture and Afterlife. Thanks for highlighting the book's pros and cons effectively, as always.

Thanks for your sweet words, Vickie! Whatever his failings, Dele is hell-bent on bringing people to heaven!

I am neither a catholic, nor a religious person. But that did not hinder me from enjoying your review. Thank you

Thanks for the lovely comment. Though I feel blessed to be Catholic, religion isn't a big deal for me. We can all live in peace and love together into eternity.

Due to the topic, I don't think this is something I would want to read. I grew up in Eastern Europe as a true atheist, so all my life I only knew this. Going to church was only allowed for weddings, baptisms, or funerals (else you could even lose your job). While, after leaving the country, I did discover some aspects of spirituality that I am very interested in, such as reincarnation, meditation, and knowing that there is something out there higher than us, bigger than us, religion per se has still been something very strange to me. I guess we all fear (or worry about) what we don't know.

However, your review is, as usual, awesome, and I always take pleasure in reading them.

Losing your job over going to church? That sounds harsh to me. Oh, well, everyone has his or her time for meeting the Lord. Believe you me, your time will come. That's not a threat; that's a promise.

Thanks for the support, Kislany. I'm right now writing my next review, just like you are. Let's go for gold!

Yeah, no kidding. Especially if you were working in a white-collar 'intellectual' job as we used to call it, like a teacher, professor, engineer, stuff like that, then yeah, you could easily lose your job if they found out you went to church and had no specific reason to go. The reason was that how can you teach your kids proper values (if you were a teacher like my mom) if you went to church...sadly that's communism for you.

Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed for you (and for me too!)

Thanks for a very readable review on a thought-provoking book! Christianity typically doesn't interest me as a topic, though I love your take on it. Art does interest me, and I realize a better knowledge of the Bible could enhance my understanding of that. I've been intrigued by Revelation at times - I may yet diversify my reading a bit further.

Revelation is actually not very revealing. It's mostly cryptic and variously interpreted. Its other name is Apocalypse, which Dele believes is coming, and soon. Seclusion won't be possible.

Thanks for visiting, Alice.

This is most affectionate books that emphasised the bible from the old generation to the new generation. I hope many will be blessed by this book. Dele Babalola, been the author has tried in expanding the word of God to the universe through an act of writing this. Christians are to know that this is a benefit to them. Although true believers are hardly to be found these days of end time, but GOD can surely intervene into the life of readers through this book.
