Commendations
'In an easy style, Chris Sinkinson shows how the books of the Old Testament are realistic and relevant for today. Without avoiding difficulties, he demonstrates how modern archaeological discoveries aid understanding of the Bible.'
- Alan Millard, Emeritus Rankin Professor of Hebrew and Ancient Semitic Languages, The University of Liverpool

'We live in a day when Bible knowledge cannot be assumed. In general, children are largely untaught the Bible, and those who come to faith in their teens or later (as so many do) have a major task on their hands. For such, Dr Sinkinson’s book will shine as a bright beacon. When I say that he skips his merry way through a remarkably full summary of Old Testament life, thought, history and context, I do not imply superficiality but call attention to an enviable lightness of touch and style in a book that nourishes heart and head alike.'
- Alec Motyer, author and Bible expositor

'I’ve suffered from some travel guides over the years. They know too much and bore you by going on and on. But Chris Sinkinson proves a wonderful guide to the long-ago world of the Old Testament: sure-footed, interesting, and dispensing up-to-date knowledge with a light and humorous touch. He’s aware of just how much we need to know to make sense of what we read. Under his expert teaching so much that seems difficult is opened up. The book is ‘simply wonderful’ - and both words are important.'
- Derek Tidball, former Principal of London School of Theology

'Do you ever get the feeling that, despite all your misgivings, there is something you really must do? Reading all the Old Testament part of the Bible is like that for many people. We have no enthusiasm for it, because it is so long, complicated, out of date and beyond our understanding. Well, despair no longer, for help is at hand. Chris Sinkinson has written this marvellous book to give us all the help we need in understanding the big picture and developing a desire for the first part of the Bible. We travel through time with a Doctor who needs no Tardis to help us traverse the various places we will visit. He will show and explain to us many strange and wonderful things. So get on board and enjoy the experience of Time Travel to the Old Testament.'
- Clive Anderson, minister, tour leader and author, co-author of Through the British Museum with the Bible

'Chris Sinkinson brings to life the sights, sounds and culture of the Old Testament world, giving readers a valuable opportunity to enter into seemingly familiar stories and explore their riches in a fresh way. Informative, yet very readable, this book is a great resource for those who want to begin to study the Scriptures in context, gaining a deeper understanding of the biblical story and the roots of the Christian faith.'
- Heidi Johnston, speaker, and author of Life in the Big Story
