For millenniums, religious scholars and teachers and everyday people have evaluated and interpreted the verses from the patriarchs and prophets of the Old Testament and from Jesus and his first century followers in the New Testament. As they have done with the other 101 bible books, Steve and Lois Rabey select those verses that they feel have the most impact when applied to modern day life. The choices run the gamut, but not all are that well known though some like JobÆs lament and ôIn the beginning àö are. The Rabeys also provide simple interpretation for application in todayÆs information age society without being condescending to their audience. This is perhaps the best of the four well written 101 Most Powerful à in the Bible. The verses chosen are powerful in of themselves, but the Rabeys are in top form as they provide insight and interpretation in a twenty-first century context as few individuals have been able to do. Though clearly Christian in nature includingthose excerpts from the Books of Moses, readers will find this book a well written guide to better understanding of the Bible. Harriet Klausner
