Especially for the visual learner, this book is a real treat. The night I brought my copy home, my wife and I sat down with it and we hardly stopped turning the pages. We were repeatedly amazed at the wide variety of information. From full-color maps of Bible lands, to summaries of every book in the Bible, to lists of key people and events, including an outline of Jesus' life and information about each of the disciples, to theological beliefs across the religious spectrum, this volume is a treasure of teaching aids. --Dr. Gary Habermas, Liberty University
I own and use the
Rose Book of Bible Charts, Maps, and Time Lines and the
Holman Book of Biblical Charts, Maps, and Reconstructions. I recommend both, but if you must choose, go with the Rose Book. Why?
What the Rose book has that Holman does not (this in not an exhaustive list, but these are the important things to me as a teacher):
1. Better and longer Bible time line with hundred more facts. There is a side-by-side comparison with events in world history.
2. Better and longer Christian history time line with hundreds more facts.
3. Then and Now Bible maps, showing both a color Bible map and red lines to show where modern-day cities and countries are.
4. Stunning illustrations of the tabernacle, temple, ark of the covenant, Noah's ark. Holman has nice illustrations, but not quite as powerful.
5. More information in the timeline on the history and reliability of the Bible. Gives more information on the Tyndale, Wycliffe, Geneva, King James and other early Bibles.
6. Has information about the many Bible translations since 1993.
7. Longer and more complete side-by-side comparison of 12 Christian denominations and 18 world religions and cults.
8. Complete descriptions of the feasts and holidays of the Bible and their foreshadowing and symbolism of Jesus Christ.
9. Genealogy of Jesus Christ: the family tree of Jesus Christ on one page.
10. Armor of God
11. Fruit of the Spirit and 1 Corinthians 13 (the love chapter)
12. Overview of each book of the Bible with writer, theme, key verse, to whom written, and date.
13. Statue in the Book of Daniel. The four kingdoms listed in Daniel 2.
14. Cycle of disobedience in the Book of Judges.
15. 100 archaeological finds that support the reliability of the Bible.
16. Seven churches of the Revelation.
The Rose book is a little more expensive, but frankly I use it more. --Research Fanatic
It is awesome! Rose Publishing has produced one of the finest books I have ever seen. Every aspect of the charts, maps and time lines leaps off the page with spectacular color, incredible accuracy and intricate detail. Rose Book of Bible Charts, Maps and Time Lines is a must for every pastor and teacher who wants to clearly present the truths of the Bible. --Dr. Jerry Falwell (deceased), Founder and Chancellor, Liberty University

I just had to let you know how powerful and illuminating your books and charts are. I have been doing research and working at the college level for over 30 years and have never encountered materials like yours - materials that represent innumerable hours of research; materials that make Biblical study and research 100 times easier than I have encountered thus far. They truly are invaluable as reference, as outlines for courses with real content and as solid reference for writing articles, college papers, and books. I truly cannot elucidate the many advantages and sheer comprehensiveness of each book (and materials) I have read so far. Charts, for example, that represent the compilation and intensive research of Biblical history always prove to be 100% accurate and often include little or even heretofore unknown facts. Just suffice it to say that every scrap of material I have been privy to always contained amazing surprises and inexhaustible amounts of information - information that specifically enhances and illuminates every person who utilizes them. They have already made huge impacts of so many young and mature Christians. Several of the people I have mentored through their doctoral studies have sworn by these materials as one of the best sources they have ever seen. I agree with them completely. I only wish I could adequately describe the immense contributions the materials have made to myself and others and to Christian Academics in general. Thank you from my whole heart and may God richly bless you. --Dr. Wesley B Rose, Th. D., D. D., Ph. D., Director Early Christian Studies Scripture Institute
