For years, I have been eager to find a strong curriculum that gives an overview of Scripture in a way that is both thorough and easy to understand for everyday people sitting in the pew. Krish Kandiah has put together just such a book, newly released with Kregel Publishing, and I could not be more pleased.
Route 66 is a neat little book. It serves as both a curriculum piece, and as a book someone can read as a regular book. It covers 8 major genres of Scripture, clearly going over the basic distinctive characteristics of each type of writing. Then, at the end of each chapter, there is both a small group study and a set of lessons to be engaged on a personal level. The idea is that each person can read the text, and go through the personal studies during the week, and then join together to discuss what they have learned and grow even more with the small group study once a week.
The book is full of charts, side notes, and helpful little tidbits that are fun to read as you study. There are also a few appendices that are also helpful to guide people in further study. I am impressed with the tremendous amount of useful tools that this relatively small book has to offer.
As a matter of fact, I am thinking about presenting this to my Sunday School class as a study to kick off our year together. I highly recommend everyone who wants to have a tool to help people they lead have a bigger picture of what is going on in the Bible, or who wants that overview themselves to grab this book quickly. It WILL deepen your knowledge of the Word, and how to read it.
