The SHORT BIBLE

Simplified Student Edition

The Bible is considered the most profound collection of documents in all of history and has messages that are still relevant in today’s world. However, it's very long, hard to read, and not organized in chronological order. This Simplified Student version of The Short Bible is even shorter and easier to read because it uses simple language (written for those who are at least 10-years old). It summarizes all 66 books of the Bible in 24 short, easy-to-read chapters, and it includes key terms at the end of each chapter. Its eight appendixes include a pronunciation guide, 11 maps, a list of quoted verses, and an extensive list of study and reflection activities for the book as a whole and individual chapters to help readers wrestle with the Bible’s timeless stories and ideas.

The author has extensive experience and training in the education field – he earned a doctorate in education from the University of Washington (Seattle) and worked as a secondary school teacher, in Washington’s state education department, and in the central office of two school districts. He has authored many reports related to various K–12 education issues.
