I try to hold high standards for my book posts. One of those standards is to try not to post a book that I know has been marked down before. Well, I am going to violate that policy with this post--this book has been marked down before.
In fact, I purchased it when it was marked down before. Only I paid $2.99, instead of
99 cents. I hate it when that happens But the fact of the matter is, it works the other way a lot, too--an ebook that I buy is signiicantly cheaper than it was during a previous markdown. The fact that it is marked down so much now (86% of the digital list price!) is the reason that I'm making an exception to my policy.

Book Description
This book answers foundational questions: Who wrote the Bible? What is its message? Why is it thought to be a "holy" book? How does one read and interpret it? Best of all, though, you'll broaden your vision of Jesus Christ, the focal point of Scripture. How? By better understanding the geographical, religious, and historical concerns that shaped the world in which he lived. You'll see Jesus as never before: both as a man of his times and culture, and as the culmination of a divine providence that prepared the way for the ministry of the Messiah. Written by renowned preacher, writer, and apologist John Stott, this new, expanded edition includes - Questions at the beginning of each chapter to help you focus - New, up-to-date maps for the chapters on history and geography - An index to help you speedily access areas of interest.
