What's actually in the least-read bestseller of all time? A typical Bible is virtually impenetrable to a casual reader. Except for the cherry-picked "good parts," most Christians have very little familiarity with their supposed holy book. Those who have slogged their way through it, page by tortuous page, usually come out the other end with little comprehension of what they've read. That's because the Bible is a grossly repetitive, horrendously overwritten and sloppily edited book of staggering length. The HBNE has stripped away the flummery and nebulous prose to reveal the cold, hard narrative: It's shocking. It's hilarious. It's deeply disturbing. And yet despite all that, the Bible is a VASTLY entertaining read when you actually understand what it's saying. With handy commentary incorporated into the text, the reader will instantly grasp the point of entire chapters in mere minutes. Discover the Bible your clergy wish you would ignore, and which your friends and family never knew existed.

"Who told you that you were naked?"This is the question that God asks Adam and Eve when he calls them out from hiding behind a bush, as they timidly step forward to reveal their bodies covered in fig leaves they had sewn together.This story captures a problem shared among all people: Insecurity.When we make mistakes, dwell on our failures, get stuck in comparison, or experience shame, we start covering the parts of ourselves that make us feel weak, vulnerable, and exposed. And there are many ways we cover up things we don't want other's to see. The truth is, Adam and Eve aren't the only one's wearing fig leaves.But the Bible tells a story of a God that clothes us, gives us a vision of hope, pursues us when we're lost, offers us truth in a world of lies, and calls us to live a full life where we reach our true potential. Naked In God's Holy Temple is a journey of moving from ...I. Insecurity to validationII. Despair to hopeIII. Unaware to awakenedIV. Lies to truthV. Inhibited to full potential

Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ-the divine Person revealed in the Bible-has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do his will, and you will see the truth of his Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.
