Excerpt from The Red Cord: From Creation to Christ Every child has a Bible, or ought to have. But to own a Bible and to under stand it are two quite different things. The Bible is many books bound up into one, and has in it a great many facts and truths and strange sayings. A young person taking it up and trying to read it would not understand it unless some one should help him. I want to help you to understand your Bible. As through all the rope made for the English navy there runs a thread of red cord, so in the Bible you will find a Red Cord, which binds together all its stories, prophecies, ceremonies, songs, events. Follow that Cord and you will be led through the Bible from Creation to Christ. It is a clue to guide you. You will see that the Bible is all connected to gether. You will understand your Bible better. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
