Sunday Book Discussion with Peter J. Bylsma 2-13-22

This Episode is from the What's the 411? with Sharon Kay Sunday Edition and has always featured a book discussion on books written for the community of faith. 

The Short Bible: A Chronological Summary of the Old and New Testaments is written by Peter J. Bylsma, long-time educator, researcher and Christian.  He summarizes all the books of the Old and New Testaments in 25 easy-to-read chapters.

It was a wonderful discussion and we only got to discuss the books of the Old Testament.  Much was missed in our discussion because we ran out of time to talk at all about the New Testament and Jesus Ministry, so Peter will be back in April to finish that discussion.
