      What People are Saying

      “To pen a book that is a concise yet profoundly meaningful summary of the most strategic events in the Bible is an ambitious goal, but one that Dale Mason has met well! Mason has crafted an overview that gives the reader an exciting new perspective and the essential context on events they may have read about many times. The 10 Minute Bible Journey is as well-suited as a personal devotional, as it is for group Bible Study and one-on-one discipleship. I highly recommend this book for men and women of all ages! A great, non-threatening way to jump to the next level in your understanding of God’s Word and the gospel of our Savior, Jesus Christ!”

      —Cathy Allen, COO, Love Worth Finding Ministries

      “Love it! The writing style is extremely engaging and the presentation of biblical history is phenomenally seamless. The events selected to articulate the panoramic biblical historical perspective are extremely well chosen.”

      —Bryan Osborne, apologetics speaker/chronological teaching specialist

      “Dale Mason, in The 10 Minute Bible Journey, gives us the proverbial box top to the Bible puzzle. In concise and easily digestible portions, he leads us through the timeline of the Bible and shows the 30,000 foot view that puts everything into perspective. People constantly ask me for a book they can use to lead their family through the Bible in a systematic way...now I have the perfect resource to recommend to them! This is a useful tool for parents, students, church leaders, and anyone doing discipleship ministry. …Nothing is more important in this world than knowing God as He has revealed Himself through His Word; and The 10 Minute Bible Journey will help you to accomplish that in an interesting, creative and powerful way.”

      — Israel Wayne, author & conference speaker

      “The 10 Minute Bible Journey gives readers an easy to understand overview of the story of the world. I’ve been waiting for a book like this!”

      — Tim Wildmon, President, American Family Association

      Dedication

       To my beloved Karen…

      Your grace-laced affections won my heart. Thank you for your ceaseless encouragement and patience.

       To our four children…

      You’re not kids anymore. It’s beautiful to watch as you and your godly spouses show your own children that the Bible is full of realities, not fantasies!
