Alain Verheij’s “God en ik” is a well-written introduction to the Bible, tailored for those who may not be familiar with its vast array of themes and perspectives.

Alain does a great job navigating through the diverse and sometimes controversial narratives within the Bible, and he presents them in an accessible and engaging manner.

His personal anecdotes and reflections make the content relatable and offer a unique lens through which readers can explore the Bible’s relevance today.

I really liked his efforts to connect the biblical stories to contemporary life. Alain critically and often humorously examines how these stories resonate with modern societal issues. This makes the book not only informative but also thought-provoking.

The book doesn't ignore the Bible’s darker, contradictory and more challenging themes, and provides a balanced view that acknowledges the complexities of these ancient texts.

Alain's personal anekdotes show how different denominations interpret the Bible, and illustrate the evolution of his own faith and insights. His reflections on the broader, recurring themes and messages within the Bible highlight their relevance and applicability to our own lives and society.

“God en ik” is a great read for both Christians and non-Christians alike, and offers a fresh perspective on one of the most influential books in human history.
