- Explain what most excites them about this book of the Bible
- Encourage you to look deeper into their context and meaning

- Inspire you to read the book afresh with a new perspective

Famous names who've put pen to paper for the series include:

Each volume in this essential new series contains the text of the selected book, from the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB), one of the most respected and readable modern English translations. Over time, this will build up into an outstanding collection of books – a contemporary perspective on what the Bible means to us today, and a wonderful way to rediscover the joy of Bible reading.
