Here's about the best summary I've read, from the introductory matter in the Bibles created by our friends The Gideons:
The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the
way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers.
Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are
true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be
holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort
to cheer you.
It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass,
the soldier’s sword, and the Christian’s charter. Here Paradise is restored, Heaven opened and the gates of Hell disclosed.
Christ is its grand subject, our good its design, and the glory of
God its end.
It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the
feet. Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully. It is a mine of
wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be
remembered forever.
It involves the highest responsibility, rewards the
greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred
contents.

I have to agree that your site is run extremely well, and your writings are really educational. Keep up the good work; you appear to have really grabbed people's interest. Just now, I visited a blog that was how quickly you are react. If you'd want to read the whole article, go to reaction time test and leave your comments.
Your prose has a wonderful talent for reducing difficult ideas into simple words. I'd like to share the most recent Profile on CPS Test with you. I've tried several, but this one is by far the most dependable and accurate.
