THE SUM OF ALL HOPE

THE SUM OF ALL HOPE finally fulfills the hope of many
people for a book which can effectively summarize the
Bible in a quick, easy and understandable format. If you
have trouble reading and understanding the Bible, or
if you have not had the time to read the Bible,
this book is for you!

This book breaks the Bible down into 62 summarizing
events presented in the order they happen or will happen in
the Bible.  From the very first act of creation, to the great
climatic events to come, this book was written in a style to
get the information into the reader’s heart and mind.

It is fast moving, written with as few words as possible but
not fewer than needed.  Each sentence brings the reader

then presented to support the explanation of the event
from a Biblical perspective. Each section ends in a short

visual art that imprints the event into the reader’s mind.  
Understand the Bible and be prepared for the climatic
events that are about to happen!

When I talk with people today and the topic turns to religion, I often ask them if they have read the Bible. A common answer I get is “I’ve tried to read the Bible, but it just doesn’t make sense to me.” People understand parts of the Bible, but few have a grasp of God’s total program. Again and again, I see the need for a simple, understandable book that outlines in order the great events of the Bible and what God’s purpose is in those events. People need to understand the Bible. There’s too much at stake not to! A simple straightforward explanation of the plan of God is why this book was written. It is a biblical chronology from the first event of creation to man and God in eternity.

When reading this book, please keep this in mind. This book breaks down the Bible into 62 distinct events. Each of the 62 events are organized in the order they happened or will happen in the Bible. At the beginning of each event, I’ve written a simple explanation of the event based on scripture. I then present scriptures to support the statement. In a few instances, I’ve supplemented the information from the Bible with other texts from non-canon sources. These non-canon sources aren’t offered as fact, but as supporting evidence for the biblical text presented. Dramatic art in the form of black and white pictures are added at the end of each event explaining the event in visual form. After every twenty events, reviews of the previous twenty events are inserted which will further reinforce your understanding and help you commit the information contained in this book to memory.

Information is presented in as few words as possible, but not fewer than needed. I’ve tried to write each sentence to say something important to the reader. To make it interesting and fast-paced. After you read this book, I hope you come away with a clear understanding of God’s plan. I hope the Bible becomes easy for you to read and understand! God wants you to know that the events portrayed in this book are unfolding dramatically before us today. God assures us that he is in control of those events!

The reader should always check the Bible to verify the accuracy of the information presented here. People should read God’s word in the Bible for themselves. This book is written to get you to do that. You must confirm and convince yourself that what you’re reading is a reasonable and correct approach to God’s word. By doing so, you won’t be fooled or deceived because you’ve read and understood the scriptures for yourself. This book provides a quick reference to major biblical events and their chronological order.

I hope you enjoy reading this book and find it interesting. It’s designed to help you understand and remember God’s whole program for mankind. Use it as a handy quick reference. It is imperative that God’s people understand the great plan outlined in the Bible for mankind. They should understand our purpose and our future. God has a plan! He wants you to know and understand it. Once you do, reading the Bible will become an adventure. The best part, this is not fiction, but fact. It will happen! Those in Christ should not worry about the events in this book. You have a glimpse of the future. The future is assured for those in Christ. If you haven’t made that decision, make it today. I pray the information contained in this book will help you in that decision
