Wouldn't it be great to have a list of all the books of the bible and a very brief overview of each book? Well, this is at least a step towards that(it can be expounded upon).
There was a song in the late 90's that talked about all the books of the bible and gave a brief description of each book. It was my all-time favorite song, I loved it. It was recorded by Aaron Jeoffrey and was called "He Is". I lost touch of the song until recently and now we are reunited(apparently, I love it that much *lol*).
Here is a break-down of the song. It can be used as a guide to the books of the bible and a quick study referral.

James,
ReplyDeleteTwo men in our praise & worship team sang this song a couple of times during worship. I still get goosebumps just remembering it. And even still, the song still does no justice to how incredible He Is! Whoa, there's goodbumps again...
Be blessed,

I've never heard, or heard of, this song! Wow - what a blessing! I've been looking for a way to get more familiar with my bible (recently came back to Christ after years in the wilderness) and this is exactly the thing. Thanks so much for sharing, James.
