This Dangerous Book: How the Bible Has Shaped Our World and Why It Still Matters Today by Steve Green, Jackie Green
3.0
I was very thankful to receive a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I am terribly sorry this review is so late though! However, there will be a giveaway coming soon! It'll be for a copy of this book. I hope y'all are as excited as I am! :)
Just a bit of a disclaimer: if y'all couldn't tell this is somewhat of a religious book. If you aren't Christian or you aren't interested in other religions or even this one then don't read this review. It's a book about the Bible and Christianity. Obviously if that will make you upset just stay away because I don't want any negative people in my comment section! Thank you! <3
Where do I start? This is my problem every time I write a review haha. I guess I'll start with why I gave this book three and a half stars out of five. I felt that in the beginning this book started of kind of dull, slow, and boring for me. It got a little better, but then towards the end it started to lose me again. I'm not to great with history and this book just started throwing all these historical facts at me and it became a lot to take in. If that makes sense. However, I loved reading their (the authors') own experiences and I really wish they had more personal stories to share! It would have made the book more personal and just better to me. I understand that the book is about the Bible and not their personal lives though, but I would have liked to hear some more personal things to connect more.
There were some really good points made in this book about history and the Bible and how much it has a role in our lives. I didn't realize how big the Bible really is around the world and even in America. It's amazing to me to see how much it's impacted us and how big of a role it's played in people's lives and continues to play that role today.
Following the principles of this book requires commitment, and sometimes it is risky.
I am a Christian if you didn't know and I love my Bible. I read it every day and it's a very important part of my life. I think it's amazing to learn about it and just how much the Bible has gone through, good and bad. It's great to see Steve and Jackie's journey as they find a lot of cool artifacts. I also love the pictures included of these artifacts! They're so interesting and it's just crazy to see the beauty of something that is so old. It's crazy to think about how long it's survived and just what it's been through. I would love to visit their museum one day! :)
Many books in my library are now behind me and beneath me. They were good in their way once, and so were the clothes I wore when I was ten years old; but I have outgrown them. Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years. ~Charles Haddon Spurgeon
I found this book very interesting as they told their story of how the came to start a museum and how the Bible impacted their lives. Like I said before I wish there was more about them and how the book affeted them, but what can ya do?
Overall I enjoyed this book and learning about the history of the Bible. If you are a Christian I recommend this book because it's very amazing! It helps to teach you more about the book you rely so much on. It's very inspiring in a way. If you're just someone who's curious of things and like history then I suggest you give this book a try! :)
