With colour illustrations, pictures, and pull–out timelines, this history book brings the whole Bible to life!
From Genesis to Revelation, from the beginning of time to the early church, from the first promise of a Saviour to the promise that one day that Saviour will return – this book spans all of time. Find out about how the God of all time spoke to his people and still speaks today through his Word.
This absorbing book is split into 6 colour–coded sections:
Creation to the Promised Land
Living in the Promised Land
From One Kingdom to Two
Exile and Return
The Messiah
The Early Church
The eighteen illustrated timelines place Bible events side–by–side with other historical events, helping readers to understand how biblical history fits with other historical accounts. These timelines also draw together events from different books of the Bible, clearly showing, for example, when in Israel and Judah’s history the prophets were speaking, and what else was happening at the time.
The timelines are interspersed with descriptions of notable people, maps and illustrations depicting key locations and occasions, as well as explanations of why certain incidents are so important.
Throughout the book there are icons drawing the reader’s attention to:
Promise of the Messiah
Covenants that God made
Judah’s kings & prophets
Israel’s kings & prophets
Seeing these things laid out in such a clear format helps to identify the threads of redemptive history that are woven throughout the Bible.
Written and designed by the same people who created the popular God’s Timeline, this companion book will help young and old readers alike to understand the chronology of the Bible. It also includes a pull–out poster of the whole timeline, and the main heroes and villains mentioned in the Bible.

Our Triune God reveals
Himself through His mighty deeds in history. This book provides a wonderful
series of timelines, maps and other visuals to help us place those events in
their historical and geographical context. Along the way we can follow God’s redemptive
plan in Christ, from Eden right through to the spread of the early
church.
Sharon James Social Policy Analyst, The Christian Institute
Here is a ‘Big Book’ on big stuff. Paul says that God’s ways are
‘untrackable’—and they are, but he has left some of his ‘tracks’ in redemptive
history and Linda Finlayson has pursued them in this attractive, colourful,
vibrant tome, in which she has pulled together the strings of biblical history
and in such concise form has placed them in your lap.

... a real treasure ... I like to have an organizational picture in my head when I’m introducing people to the riches of Scripture. This book helps me with that, and I think it will help you too.
Ligon Duncan Chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological Seminary
It is no small challenge to
wrap our minds around the thousands of years of history that fall between
Genesis 1 and Revelation 22. Linda Finlayson's God's Bible Timeline is a
noble and effective attempt to help us do that very thing. Using text,
graphics, and timelines, it seamlessly describes and displays both the great
story and the wider context of the Bible.
Tim Challies Author, ‘Seasons of Sorrow’
This resource is a wonderful tool that has the potential to guide many through God’s Word in a way that will help them see the whole picture of God’s revelation. The church is once again in Linda’s debt.
