The Bible is the world’s most amazing book! Supernaturally given by God, it is the Word of God. It is a living book that can speak the words of God directly to the hearts of those who hear or read it.
Geddes MacGregor called the Authorized Version, “the most influential version of the most influential book in the world, in what is now the most influential language,” and “the most celebrated book in the English-speaking world.”
The Bible is believed by people all over the world and is without error, written through about forty human authors as they were led of God to write – and yet the Bible in sixty-six books fit together in an astonishing way.
Our current generation doubts everything, especially the things of God, says author and renowned musician Dr. Lonnie Shipman.
Archaeology, Shipman says, has repeatedly illustrated that the Bible is accurate historically, biographically, culturally, legally, geographically, medically, and even scientifically.
Professor of Archaeology of Yale University, Mike Burrows, said, “On the whole, archaeological work has strengthened confidence in the reliability of the Scriptural record. More than one archeologist has found his respect for the Bible increased by the experience of excavation in Palestine. Archaeology has in many cases refuted the views of modern critics.”
Dr. Lonnie Shipman has traveled the world and brings his experiences and research to “The Bible: King of Books.” He is proud to proclaim: The King James Bible is truly the King of Books, the king of all books ever written. It has influenced the morals, government, worldview, culture, language and literature of the nations, as well as the growth of the churches and spiritual lives of the people.
Lifeway President Emeritus Dr. Jimmy Draper says: Dr. Shipman “has skillfully taken complex issues in archaeology and manuscript evidence for the Bible and made them accessible to the reader. This work is true to the Word of God and accurate in its intricate details of the historical and biblical content of the book. Thank you, Lonnie, for allowing God to use you in such a
significant way. This book will excite the reader about what God has done and is about to do through the Word of God!”
