Many books have been written about the Bible. Most of them have been written by people who have spent most of their lives in offices, cubicles, studies, and possibly coffee shops. A CARPENTER’S VIEW OF THE BIBLE IS DIFFERENT. The book’s author, Charlie March, has academic credentials. He also has thirty-two years experience as a finish carpenter. A CARPENTER’S VIEW OF THE BIBLE is a book for people who like to build things, by a person who loves the Lord and loves to build things.
Dr. March methodically takes his reader through different construction themes in Scripture. He reviews the significance of walls in the Old Testament. He mines architectural themes in Sodom and Gomorrah. He enlightens his readers to what Jesus and Paul said from a carpenter’s perspective as well. And he has much more to say as well.
This book would be great to give to a blue-collar guy who is interested in how the Bible can speak to his everyday life in a fresh way. I recommend it highly.
