overview of the bible

so... I don't love doing this but I searched the interwebs for a half hour and couldn't find it or anything like it... so here is a scan of the overview of the bible from the back my own.  BECAUSE IT'S AMAZING.  I plan to use this guide often because it makes the bible make a little more sense by summarizing.  you see -I'm the type of person who gets a lot more out of a movie if I know the ending because then I can look for and enjoy the subtle cues :) sssoooooo, these little one or two sentence blips will really help guide me I think.  I flipped to ephesians right after scanning all the synopses because today the idea "it tells of the advantages a believer has in Christ" seemed appropriate and interesting * it is now almost ten o'clock though and my husband has turned in for the night and I must too so ephesians will have to wait for maybe tomorrows lunchtime reading.  oh!  that reminds me that the reason I bought this specific NIV Bible was because it's pretty pink cover came to me in a dream and I carry it to and from work most days.  its kind of a nice frequent reminder and maybe one day I'll get brave enough to leave it out on my desk so someone can ask me about it. . . . .

The First Five Books
The first five books of the Bible tell the beginnings of the Jewish (Israelite) race and culture.
GENESIS:  This book describes creation, the first rebellions against God, and God's choosing of Abraham and his family as God's people - the Iraelites.
