About this title

From the Back Cover

Grisly killings . . . passionate love . . . tyrants and tragedy . . . prophets and praise. That would be the New Testament of the Bible -- one of the most in-your-face reads of your life. It's the all-time bestseller (really), full of adventure, romance, history, and war -- not to mention supernatural phenomena. So if the Bible is this hot, why don't you read it? Yeah, well, I saw Jesus Christ Superstar at school and Life of Brian at my cousin's . . . aren't those, like, the Bible? Not exactly. So jumpstart your way into the Bible with Downloading the Bible: A rough guide to the New Testament. It's short, it has pictures, and it tells you everything you need to know about the Jesus days, about Jesus himself, about his dense but (usually) loyal followers, about a supernatural life-from-death incident (more than one, actually) that the 1st-century FBI did everything the could to hush up. How even they couldn't stop the good news from rocketing through their world. And this rough guide to the New Testament actually makes all this stuff cool (unlike Ms. Eagleton in period 4 English). If you're not careful, one thing may lead to another . . . and you just may be tempted to pick up the Bible itself and check it out. After all, amazing things happen in it. Amazing things also happen to people who meet God in it.
