The information used is from the brochure "Where to Look in the Bible", published (1998) by the Canadian Bible Society.
It begins by saying, "The Bible is a book which tells of the experiences of real people and of how God dealt with them. The deepest needs of the human heart and the most profound longings of the human soul are brought to us in the great stories of the Bible.  The Bible is a real treasure house and this leaflet tells you where you can turn to find messages to meet your needs as you face the challenges, problems, and joys of life.  As you read the Bible you will find that it speaks to you as does no other book and your life will be enriched and blessed."
