What are people saying?
"There is nothing quite like the actual words of the Bible that tease, subvert, offend, and empower. Here they are! These careful excerpts transpose the Bible from an externally regarded totem to an actual living, compelling script."
-Walter Brueggemann (Old Testament scholar and renowned theologian)
"Churches should buy multiple copies of this, and give some to members for group study and even more to first time visitors as a gift to help in their spiritual journey."
-C. K. Robertson (Canon to the Presiding Bishop)
"The Path is a perfect entry point for people who want to know more about the Bible but don't know where to start."
-Jana Riess (author of Flunking Sainthood and The Twible: All the Chapters of the Bible in 140 Characters or Less)
"The Path is practical and accessible-a terrific resource in an attention-challenged world."
-Chris Yaw (Founder, ChurchNext)
"The Path is, in short, one of the best ways to familiarize yourself with the rich and life-changing message of the Bible that I've ever seen."
-Roy L. Heller (Associate Professor of Old Testament, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University)
"The Path is just what we need. Instead of seeing people fall away from their intention to read the Bible this abridged version using the New Revised Standard Version gives our parishioners the ability to understand that the story of salvation has been unfolding across time and history since creation. The questions at the end of chapters; the small notes within each chapter that help widen the reader's perspective; that there is also a version for children; all make this an exceptional resource for grounding disciples of all ages in Scripture."
-Brenda G. Husson (Rector at St. James' Church in New York, NY)
