A VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT AND INTERESTING APPROACH TO THE BIBLE. - Rated 
I opened this book and said immediately that this was my kind of book and just what I needed to help me read and understand the Bible. BUT on the same order and in the same parcel I bought another Nick page book called "The Map" but was most dissapointed to find that apart from the covers both books were absolutely identical, Word for Word. Next reaction was to send one back but on second thoughts decided to give one to a friend thus helping to spread the "Good News" Either of these books is superb. Don't hesitate Buy one of them ! Well Done Nick Page.

Nick Page is laugh out loud funny. Not just "for a Christian", but for a human man. There's something almost Blackaderr-y about some of the bits of this book, in terms of sense of humour. It's such an interesting, knowledgable, humble, funny examination of the bible, that you'll find yourself looking forward to reading it. As in, curling up in bed of an evening, possibly early, just so you can read it. It's in bite-size chunks, with "Tricky Bits" explained honestly and without condescension; "Questions, Questions" where the author has brief - invariably hilarious - conversations with someone annoying who asks the questions *we* would ask; maps taking you through the chapters individually, and descriptions of the people that appear in the bible. Plus loads more. Really. Loads.
If you find Christianity a trife po-faced sometimes, this will, no pun intended, utterly renew your faith. If Jesus was to read a book discussing the bible, it'd be this one, cos He was funny, and He had an awesome, very dry sense of humour, as does Mr Nick.
Intelligent, genuinely funny, and full of God's Word. Great book.
An enjoyable insight - Rated 
Page presents the message of the Bible in an informative and very readable way. He isn't shy in admitting the significant problems certain parts of the Bible present [for example, how a 'loving God' could allow the murder of men women and children of certain tribes who had fallen out of His favour.] But he does have a go. Anyone interested in Bible study would enjoy this book.
Eye Opener - Rated
Having been a Christian for many years, I have viewed the Bible as a sword and shield, a book to be respected and reveranced, but it is also very hard to understand and misunderstood. Nick Page opens it up in a honest, comical and very real way, making it enjoyable to read the Bible and his book together. It does not go into complicated depth. I would highly recommend this to a new christian or someone who is curious about the Bible as an introduction. I would certainly like to meet Nick himself, you feel that you are speaking to him and getting to know him through his openess and humour.
An excellent, enjoyable and simplistic read.
Nick Page Bible Handbook - Rated
A most helpful and interestingly laid out bible handbook. Informative without being over-bearing. It is amazingly fresh, makes the Bible come to life. A reliable companion for House/Cell group leaders, Youth leaders or simply for personal study. If you want to know more about the Bible, this would be the place to start!
