About the Book: The Bible--what is it? Where is it? What part of it is vital to people in the world today? 85 Pages in the Bible answers these questions in a uniquely Biblical way. It is in part a survey of the Bible and what it says to those of us living in the world today, and a critical assessment of Christian institutions that claim the Bible as the authority for their doctrines and practices. The author employs a method of Bible exegesis, prescribed by the Bible itself, called "rightly dividing." This approach directs the inquirer to the truths in the bible that are absolutely vital to his or her understanding of it , and its promises

According to a Gallup Poll taken in the 1990s, approximately two thirds of the American population considered themselves to be Christians. If we count children in the number, that’s almost 200 million people. Are all these folks who make this claim really Christians? In fact, how does one actually know he or she is truly a Christian and what does this mean or confer upon that person? Are people born into Christianity, or do they choose at some point to become a Christian? What is the true Christian church? Are all denominations (about 1000 at last count) part of it, and are these divisions ordained in the Bible? Does the Bible ordain the multiplicity of rituals practiced by denominations? Why don’t all Christians manifest a ‘sign’ gift like speaking in tongues? Was America formed as a Christian nation—as many believe—and, if so, is it still one today? Does God favor America—because of its Christian dominance— over all other nations? Are the Christian holidays practiced in America and the West ordained by the Bible? Is the Bible written exclusively to the Christian church, or is it predominately a Jewish book? Are Christians, Jews and Muslims worshipping the same God? Is Israel still God’s chosen land? Do all roads (all religious beliefs) lead to “the top of the mountain,” or is there only one way? Is the Bible full of contradictions, as many say it is? Are the dozens of different translations of the Bible on the bookshelves all the absolute word of God? Do other religious writings contain the same truths as the Bible? Can we know beyond the shadow of a doubt that we are accepted by God, and are bound for heaven, or do we have to wait until we die to find this out? The answers to all these questions (and many more) are clearly spelled out in the Bible if it is approached and studied the right way.
