The Bible in Plain English

Every Book Explained and How It All Fits Together

By: James Hibbs Farris

Most Christians want to understand the Bible.

Very few ever make it past Leviticus.

We start with good intentions, then lose the plot in laws, genealogies, and prophets we don’t understand. The result is a shelf full of Bibles and study guides—and still no clear sense of what the whole thing is actually about.

The Bible in Plain English: Every Book Explained and How It All Fits Together is a one‑volume guide to the entire story of Scripture, written for thoughtful readers who don’t have a seminary degree. In clear, conversational language, it walks you through all 66 books and shows how every part fits into a single, coherent storyline that centers on Jesus.
Inside you’ll find:

• Every book explained in a few pages – What happens, why it was written, and the main ideas you need to see.
• The big story from Genesis to Revelation – Creation, covenant, Israel, Jesus, the church, and new creation told as one continuous arc instead of 66 disconnected pieces.
• Key connections you’ve probably never noticed – How laws, psalms, prophecies, and parables echo one another and build toward the same conclusion.
• Plain‑English help with tricky parts – Covenants, prophets, the kingdom of God, apocalyptic language, and Revelation’s imagery, explained without jargon.
• A format you can actually finish – Short, focused chapters designed for busy readers, small groups, and anyone returning to the Bible after frustration or burnout.

This is not a new translation, a fluffy devotional, or a dense academic commentary. It’s a roadmap—honest about the hard parts, respectful of the text, and relentlessly clear—so you can read Scripture itself with more confidence and joy.
Whether you’re:

• a new believer trying to get your bearings,
• a long‑time Christian who has never seen how the pieces fit,
• a pastor or group leader looking for a reliable “big picture” resource, or
• a curious skeptic wondering what the Bible actually says,

The Bible in Plain English will help you read Scripture with confidence, understand what you’re seeing, and recognize the one story running through every page.
If you’ve ever thought, “I wish someone would just explain the whole Bible to me—in normal language,” this book is that explanation.
