Meet the Bible is a day-by-day book of biblically inspired meditations written with Gen-Xers in mind. In fact, "fresh" is a word that the authors often use to describe this innovative blend of Scripture and devotionals. While traditional devotionals often lack the substance that can be found in Scripture, daily reading Bibles are often too dense and time-consuming for the average 20-something reader. Using brief but direct excerpts from Scripture, the authors guide readers to the Bible's key passages, themes, and events, in which the youthfully and culturally sophisticated commentary by Philip Yancey and Brenda Quinn helps them understand the relevance of these ancient stories. Each day gets one to two pages of text and closes with a contemplation, such as "When you experience success, whom do you tend to credit, yourself or God?"
