Bible Basics

In Bible Basics, Stephen J. Nichols shares what the Christian faith is all about. This book offers an excellent overview of everything you need to know about the Bible.

My favorite chapter was on Romans and the Gospel. Nichols breaks down the Romans Road in a simple and clear way—starting with the wrath of God, moving to the righteousness of God in Christ, and culminating in peace with God.

I was especially pleased to read the chapter on Biblical Events. Nichols highlights the Assyrian captivity of Israel, the Babylonian captivity of Judah, the exile, and the return and rebuilding. I wish I had this book when I first began reading the Bible.

Fundamentals of the Faith

The second half of the book includes a chapter on Basic Beliefs: An Introduction to Doctrine, which reads wonderfully as a succinct systematic theology. The book concludes with a focus on hymns and worship, emphasizing the role of music in the church and in the lives we live for the Lord.

This book is perfect for seekers, new believers, and young Christians. It will take you back to the fundamentals of the faith and ground you in God’s Word.
