About the Book

Blessed to Bless is a walk-through the Bible for parents who want to read the Bible with their teenager. It is also a resource for any individual or small group wanting a basic introduction to the Bible. Based on a Middle School Biblical Literature curriculum, Blessed to Bless reads through the Bible and introduces basic themes, genres, and interpretations for readers of all ages who have little or no exposure to the Bible. This book is divided into 100 reading assignments of approximately three Biblical chapters, each with accompanying commentary and insight. Blessed to Bless follows the curriculum of an Episcopal Preparatory School's religion class comprised of students from varied religious backgrounds, as well as students with no religious practice. The tone of this book is for that wide range of readers, dealing broadly with religious and spiritual themes that encourage the reader to draw their own conclusions all-the-while pointing out traditional Christian interpretations of the stories. Each chapter's commentary ends with questions to facilitate discussion. Some of the questions relate to spirituality and piety, while others relate to literary analysis and understanding the intersection of modern and Biblical cultures. Blessed to Bless also presents a mnemonic structure that will assist a reader in organizing the multitude of stories within the Bible over the 1500 years of history the Bible covers, as well as give a philosophical framework to the religious and historical development within the arc of the scriptures.
