ENUMCLAW, Wash., June 18 /
Christian Newswire/ -- The Bible has solutions to all of life's challenges. However, many don't search its pages for answers because of a misguided feeling that it's too complicated or doesn't speak to contemporary issues. In her new book, "Big Picture of the Bible--New Testament," Lorna Daniels Nichols provides a study designed to help seekers and believers more fully understand God's Word and, as a result, strengthen their spiritual journey with the God of the Universe and His Son, Jesus Christ.
Set in a highly efficient format containing maps, timelines, and notes on Bible history and culture, Ms. Nichols' book is a valuable tool for individual or group study. Each well-organized chapter contains recommended Bible readings and thoughtful questions that bring about enriched understanding of God's Word as it illuminates the fulfillment of God's Plan of Redemption and Salvation through Jesus Christ. Additionally, Ms. Nichols has organized the study in chronological sequence, bringing continuity to Bible events that the new or not-so-new Christian will find very useful. Lesson plans coinciding with each chapter are available as FREE resources on Big Picture Ministries' website at
www.bigpictureofthebible.com. These lesson plans are perfect for homeschool, Christian education, and church Bible study groups.
"Big Picture of the Bible--New Testament" is the culmination of Lorna Nichols' twenty-eight years of project design, implementation, and management experience, combined with her passion to help others enter into a more meaningful relationship with God. Co-founder and President of Big Picture Ministries, LLC, Ms. Nichols and her husband are also teachers and leadership mentors at Grace Church--Saint Louis. About "Big Picture" she says, "My prayer for you is that God will plant in you a strong desire to read His Word more often and more consistently. Everything you need to live a successful life is in God's Word. God wants to speak to you. Allow Him to lead you into a deeper, more personal encounter with Him through the pages of the Bible."
Ms. Nichols' complimentary book, "Big Picture of the Bible--Old Testament," was recently honored as a:
• Finalist of the 2009 Benjamin Franklin Award for Religion category.
• Finalist in the Best Cover category of the 2009 National Indie Excellence Awards.
