About The Book:  What if you had a trusted friend to guide you through God’s Word every day? Whether you want a fast overview of the grand story of the Bible or a deeper exploration of the riches of Scripture, The Wayfinding Bible is that guide. With an innovative, full-color visual guide at the top of each reading, The Wayfinding Bible provides you with three paths through God’s Word: the Fly-Over Route, the Direct Route, and the Scenic Route. Following the Fly-Over Route, you’ll cover the most important events in the Bible in just 40 readings, giving you a fresh overview of how these events tell the story of God’s redemption. Following the Direct Route’s 200 readings, you’ll develop a better understanding of how God’s story develops through history. Following the Scenic Route, you’ll explore new territory while discovering a richness and depth in God’s Word that you’ve not seen before. All without the discouragement of getting bogged down in any single book.  Whether you are encountering the Bible for the first time or simply looking for a new journey through Scripture, you will always know where you are and where you’re going in God’s Word. Just choose your route, and prepare yourself for life-changing experiences with God.

My Thoughts About The Book:  For studying purposes this book is one ever scholar needs in their library.  As a new pastor this book is a treasure.  Since I was doing this for a book review I chose the flyover route for my first read because I wanted to know quickly how to use the book in its fullest capacity. All the arrows, side trips, and points of interest were a bit overwhelming at first until I buckled down and poured myself into the book.  Once I did I loved it!  I am doing a bible study in Joshua and have delved into both the scenic and direct routes.  I have found a plethora of material in them and they have really helped make the book of Joshua so much clearer.  The only negative I have for this book is the fact that the font is not large enough for me.  This book was fun!
