What is the 30 Second Bible and why should you bother reading it? The #1 criticism of the Bible by those who do not read it on a daily basis is that the Bible is boring and irrelevant. Well, it can be. The Bible was written in three different ancient languages, thousands of years ago by and for people who were from wildly different cultures than our own. Without a basic understanding of the life and times of Biblical events, most people struggle to get something out of it. But, although some of the Bible may be difficult to understand, much of the Bible is very understandable and surprisingly relevant to our lives and time. The 30 Second Bible presents the Word of God in small, clear, understandable verses. Then, to help apply these verses to your life, the 30 Second Bible adds a few guiding thoughts, capped off with a question that will help you reflect throughout your day on what you have read. All of this in 30 seconds. You ll be surprised at how often the verses you read each day fit exactly with what you are facing and experiencing.
