Author Summarizes Bible’s Main Points in Easily Understood Form

COLUMBUS, Ind. – The Bible has been a source of hope and strength for millions of people throughout the ages, but people in need can be intimidated by its lengthy and sometimes obscure text. Now, Tim C. Hargrove has made a concise, effective summarization of the Bible in the form of his new book, The Sum of All Hope (now available through AuthorHouse).

“When I talk to 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,” Hargrove says.

He offers the power and joy of the Bible in a quick, easy, understandable format. The book breaks the heavy text of the holy book into 62 summarized events presented in the order they appear within the Bible. From the beginning, when God breathed life into Adam, to the climatic events predicted in Revelation, The Sum of All Hope covers all the major points of the Bible, and Hargrove uses his deft writing style to craft them into understandable bits that readers can quickly absorb.

“Each sentence brings the reader face to face with Bible’s great truths,” Hargrove says. “The Sum of All Hope presents a short and fast moving explanation of each event.”

In addition to his concise summaries, Hargrove includes Scripture passages to support his explanations from a biblical perspective. After the summary, “unique and haunting visual art” imprints the events on the minds of the reader. Together, the elements of Hargrove’s The Sum of All Hope turn the Bible into an easily understood chronicle of the past and the predicted things to come.

“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,” Hargrove says.

A native of Kansas who grew up on a farm, Hargrove earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Kansas State University. He has held several senior management positions in engineering, business and manufacturing. A serious student of the Bible for more than 30 years, Hargrove used his knowledge and business expertise to summarize Scripture in The Sum of All Hope, his first book.
