My review:
This is a neat two-in-one book that is pocket-sized. About half of the book is "The Bible In One Hour", then you flip the book over and the other half is the Bible Trivia part of the book.
The Bible In One Hour has cameos of different people and happenings in the Bible. It is like a Bible 101. It is pretty basic, and I would say more geared for someone who doesn't know a lot about the Bible, nor is very familiar with any Scripture. It is interesting, informative, and easy to read......but it is very basic. It would also make a great tool to carry with you for when you are talking to non-Christians to have the basics at your fingertips. It ends with a few popular passages of the Bible, such as the Love Chapter and 23rd Psalm.
Pocket Bible Trivia is set up very well. There are a lot of multiple choice and true or false, among other trivia methods. The answers are found at the back of the trivia part of the book. I am one who knows the Bible pretty well, but I found some of the questions challenging. It is a great way to brush up on your Bible, or test your friends' knowledge.
Overall, I personally wouldn't have paired these two books together - a Bible Trivia book geared for more mature Christians - and a Bible In One Hour that seems to be geared for people who aren't as mature of Christians. Regardless, this two in one book is a great tool, and worth buying.
This book was given to me in exchange for my honest review.
