This is the Bible as if it read as a novel. We read through it as a Church. The entire Bible is broken down into 31 chapters that follow a narrative with highlights of the material left out intersped between the stories. It is good for getting a high level view of the Bible but shouldn't be confused for reading the entire thing.

This is a great YA novel if you are willing to overlook a few things.

First, the author made up several slang terms so that the characters could curse without actually cursing. It's pretty obvious what the substitutions are and can get annoying as it happens extremely frequently.

Second, there are more than a couple of times that a deus ex machina device is used to get out of a tight corner. I don't really want to spoiler more than that but if you consider that to be lazy writing this isn't the book for you.

Outside of those two items, I really enjoyed the book. It's fast paced and a relatively quick read.
