Getting Started With the Bible is a beginner's guide which provides an easy way in to understanding individual books of the Bible and the entire panoramic of the biblical drama and message. Working his way through the whole Bible, John Holdsworth focuses on the passages most likely to be heard in churches and uses these to explore what is actually being said in each passage, the overall message of each book, original contexts and how to approach these texts today, differences of interpretation, and questions raised for living in today's world.

This book confronts the most basic decisions humanity is capable of making. For the sincere seekers, the Christian response is explained. For those curious (but not necessarily interested) Christianity is at least defined well enough to separate it from a world of look-alikes.

This practical guide will help you change the way you view church and church planting. This manual is packed with information, biblical content, case studies and insights. But most of all it contains a challenge that anyone can be involved in advancing the Kingdom of God by starting a simple church in their home. The text flows as you'd expect from a normal book. But supporting it are a host of extra quotes from others involved in church life.
