Produced for the E100 Bible Reading Challenge in 2010, this book has 100 readings & commentaries; 50 from Old Testament & 50 from New Testament.

Essential 100 is for the reader to discover God's 'big story', that God created the world, that humans rebelled against God, and that God initiated a plan to save the world - a plan that culminated in Jesus Christ. That's the 'big story' that makes sense of the Bible and all of life.

The readings are organised into 20 sections with prayer prompts, reflective questions and application.

The Old Testament: In the beginning, Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, Joseph, Moses & the Exodus, The Law, Judges, The rise & fall of Israel, Psalms & Proverbs, The Prophets

The New Testament: The living Word, Teachings & Miracles of Jesus, The Cross of Christ, The Church, Paul, The Apostles, Revelation
