Few people understand the history of the Bible containing the Old Testament and the New Testament. Bettye Johnson became a researcher when she began writing her award-winning book "Secrets of the Magdalene Scrolls" after a trip to southern France. Johnson became intrigued with what she learned and realized that with the primary languages of Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and Latin that over the two thousand years plus - in each language there have been numerous translations. Johnson also realized that most Christian historians did not look beyond the obvious unobvious. She knew that few people truly understood the history of both the Old Testament and the New Testament and therefore in this book is sharing the information she learned. Welcome to the journey of discovery.

Snapshots is a kind of verbal photo album that uses the sixty-six books of the Bible as a catalyst to move our thoughts to each of these portions of scripture. Just as a snapshot of days gone by does not capture the entire event, neither does this devotional expand the entire meaning or application for any single book in the Bible. Taking a picture, or snapshot, of a moment does not really do justice to a beautiful scene we witnessed during our vacation, but it puts a stake in our mind. The picture may even suggest that we have experienced something grand and we want to go back and visit the vacation spot again. We will always find something new when we revisit scripture. The Bible is relational in style because it speaks to us in a very personal way. The author provides his own verbal pictures of the first part of each book, illustrating the application according to his experience. Once we begin taking our own snapshots of the Bible, we charter the important scenes that relate to us at that particular time in our life. Every day in this devotional is dedicated to a book in the Bible, sixty-six days in all. Reading scripture should be fun. The author finds humor in many aspects of his own life and shares parallels in order to illustrate the loving nature of God's message to all of us.
