Introduction

This Gist-Bible is a paraphrase of the Torah of the Bible, it is not a verse-by-verse paraphrase, or a paragraph-by-paragraph paraphrase; we may have made a full page out of one short paragraph, or a short paragraph out of a full page. It was a team effort.

Purpose and Motivation

Winner Torborg, the president of Bread of Life International Ministries, has noticed how people get confused so easily from basic translations of the Bible. Many translations have a clear rendering of most of the Scriptures; but in others, they seem to mislead, unintentionally, of course. The translators did not mean to mislead, they just could not put in English what the original Hebrew said.

Our Goal

Winner and his team prayed and listened and wrote this Gist-Bible to help you to grasp the truth. This is not meant to take the place of a Bible; it is a Bible aid, to help you to understand what you read.
