In \u003ci\u003eThe Bible Blueprint\u003c\/i\u003e, best-selling author and popular speaker Joe Paprocki cleverly uses a blueprint metaphor to help Catholics gain a solid understanding of the structure and organization of the Bible, and to help them build confidence in navigating its pages. \u003cbr\u003eAmong other topics, Paprocki covers the different genres of biblical writing, key figures in biblical history, and the methods Catholics rely on to interpret the Bible. Readers are also shown how to consult commentaries, concordances, and other valuable tools of Bible study to deepen their understanding of God's Word. Witty cartoons, sidebars, and quizzes throughout the book keep the tone fun and engaging; eight perforated Bible bookmarks are bound into the book.\u003cbr\u003eFor the large number of Catholics who have never felt comfortable with the Scriptures, and for any Catholic new to the faith, \u003ci\u003eThe Bible Blueprint\u003c\/i\u003e serves as an effective, nonthreatening introduction to God's Word, as well as a gateway to a deeper relationship with Christ.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFREE Leader's Guide available at loyolapress.com\/blueprint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoe Paprocki, DMin, is National Consultant for Faith Formation at Loyola Press.
