The Plain Bible Manual

(You Have Probably Been Reading The Wrong Way)

By Adam Johnson · From the desk of The Biblical Man

Dear friend,

I taught Sunday School for seventeen years and could not have told you, on the first morning I stood in front of those kids, what the Bible was actually about.

I had a King James. I had a Scofield. I had a tape series from a man in Pensacola. I had been saved at thirteen.

I did not know the Bible.

I knew what my pastor said about the Bible. I knew what the conference speakers said. I knew what the men's group leader said the night he made all of us read aloud while sweating through his cargo shorts.

But the Book itself? The plain text? The actual order of the events? The actual names of the people? I was making it up as I went and praying nobody asked me a hard question.

If that is you — if you have been a Christian for two years or twenty and still feel like the Bible is a code somebody else has the key to — read this.

You are not stupid. You are not late. You are not unsaved.

You have been handed a Book and never taught to read it the way it was written.

That is what the Plain Bible Manual is for.

What It Is

A 135-page printable manual. No theology degree required. No language games. No theme studies designed to make you cry on cue.

Just the Bible, laid out the way a man with calloused hands would lay it out for his own son if he had thirty minutes before the boy left for boot camp.

  • The order God put history in (it is not the order you have been reading it in).
  • The four hundred years between Malachi and Matthew (and why your pastor probably has not preached on them).
  • What "rightly dividing the word of truth" actually means — written by a man named Paul, to a young preacher named Timothy, not to a seminary.
  • The bridges between Old Testament types and New Testament fulfillment that men have died for and your reading plan skips.
  • The verses you have heard your whole life that mean the opposite of what your church said they meant.

Who It Is For

This manual is for the man who has been bluffing.

The Sunday School teacher faking it for two years, afraid the high schoolers can tell.

The father whose kid just asked him why God told Saul to kill the Amalekites.

The husband whose wife reads three chapters a day while he opens a Bible app and pretends.

It is not for theologians. They will hate it. It says things plain.

What Three Readers Said

"I have purchased your manual at 10 dollars and wish it could've been more. I'll continue to support your ministry at least a couple times..."

Jordan

"I will get it. I moved and am feeling it financially. I am glad and honored to help."

Wendy

"He thanked me for not flinching."

A man I will not name

You do not get those kinds of letters when you write decorative Christianity.

What It Costs

Ten dollars.

A pastor at a conference would sell you a similar manual for ninety.

A seminary would charge you forty thousand.

The Christian publishing industry sells you a study Bible with margin notes for eighty.

Ten dollars.

If it does not give you the spine to teach the Word to your own house, email me and I will refund it. No form. No screening. You email me, I refund.
