God in the Bible & Going Beyond the Tribal Deities Idea: New Betty Johansen Blog
Betty Johansen's new blog article explores how Christians can separate their understanding of the God of the Bible from the notion of tribal deities, offering insights into biblical study. Big Spring, United States, May 25, 2025 -- Wordsmith World is excited to announce the release of a new blog article by Christian author Betty Johansen. In this article, Johansen delves into how Christians can differentiate their understanding of the God of the Bible from the concept of tribal deities, a challenge often posed by skeptics. The article is titled 'Is the God of the Bible Just Another Tribal Deity?' and is the first in a two-part series focused on understanding the true nature of God. Further details can be found at As with Betty Johansen's other articles, this first part of the blog - which is aimed at adult readers - emphasizes the importance of careful, thoughtful Bible study for Christians who want to grow deeper in their faith and avoid misconceptions about God's nature. According to a 2019 survey by the Barna Group, 63% of Christians expressed a desire for more in-depth knowledge of the Bible, with many indicating that Bible study was key to improving their understanding of God's character. This aligns with Johansen's message that a careful study of Scripture can shed light on God's divine purposes and protect believers from misinterpretations. As skeptics often argue, the God of the Bible seems similar to other deities worshiped by ancient nations. They claim that Yahweh is just another 'tribal god,' engaged in petty battles for power and resources. Johansen's article presents a compelling argument against this perspective, showing that Yahweh is not like the other gods of the world's ancient civilizations. Instead, Yahweh is the Creator of all, whose actions throughout the Old Testament serve as both a protective measure for His people and a warning for future generations. She explains, 'The God of the Bible is not some tribal deity. He is the Creator of all spiritual beings, and His plan goes far beyond the narrow scope of territorial conflicts. His actions, though difficult to understand at times, are always for the protection of His people and the promotion of goodness.' The article also draws a parallel between the Old Testament command to Joshua to 'clear out' the Promised Land and the necessity for modern believers to clear out spiritual darkness from their own lives. This idea, Johansen suggests, is a crucial part of understanding God's love and justice. 'Is the God of the Bible Just Another Tribal Deity?' is part one of a two-part series. The second article, 'God's Big Battle Plan: Understanding How Our God Protects Us,' has been written for children and further explores the biblical narrative of good versus evil, emphasizing God's role in protecting His people from the forces of darkness.

New Bible In Brief Book, Retelling The Original Text For A Modern Reader
Wordsmith World, the publisher of popular Christian author Betty Johansen, has announced the release of her latest book which is called 'The Bible in Brief: A Historical Summary of God's Story from the Beginning to the End of Time'. Big Spring, United States, March 13, 2025 -- Wordsmith World is pleased to be making 'The Bible in Brief' now available for sale as a hardcover, paperback, and an e-book; both on Amazon and on author Betty Johansen's personal website. More information is available at With her latest book, Betty Johansen is on a mission to demystify the Bible for devoted Christians who find it daunting or challenging to engage with the original text. While she believes that knowing God's word and teachings through His writings in the Bible is essential for a deeper level of faith, she understands that the language used in the Bible is ancient, elaborate, and often cryptic. She also knows that many Christians have never read the Bible cover-to-cover: less than 30% according to the latest figures from Pew Research Center. Moreover, she knows even fewer will ever read it more than once. As such, with 'The Bible in Brief: A Historical Summary of God's Story from the Beginning to the End of Time', Betty Johansen has used her experience as a bestselling Christian novelist to breathe new life into the original text, capturing its raw transcendental power for a new generation. Betty Johansen hopes that—much as publishers like No Fear Shakespeare reworded and updated the Bard's original works for a modern era—she can also reinterpret God's words so that they keep their deep and profound meaning and value in 2025 and beyond. 'Many people think the Bible is only for scholars or those with years of study. But with 'The Bible in Brief', you'll see how the key messages of God's story can be grasped in a straightforward, digestible format without spending months or years trying to decode it,' said a spokesperson from Wordsmith World publishers. While many Christians can become discouraged and bogged down in the language of the Bible and thus miss out on key moments in Christ's history, she believes her more accessible version will ensure that readers can appreciate every milestone and understand its full truth and significance. 'The Bible in Brief' currently holds a 5-star rating on Amazon, with one happy reviewer saying, 'This book answered many questions I did not even know I had. And the answers were spot on. I thank the author for this book. It will be treasured for many generations.'

Old Testament Study Guide For Spiritual Reflections Released By Betty Johansen
Author Betty Johansen has released an Old Testament Study Guide, written by her mother Elizabeth Johansen, for those seeking to deepen their understanding of early Scripture. Big Spring, United States, February 14, 2025 -- The new guide, published in association with Wordsmith World, features 65 lessons that explore the teachings of the Old Testament. The study companion highlights the relevance of Bible passages to modern life and encourages readers to apply these principles for a more fulfilling spiritual journey. More details can be found at The latest Old Testament study guide was written by Betty Johansen's mother Elizabeth who had a degree in religious education and taught Bible classes at the local high school. Betty has lovingly recreated the guide for a modern audience and hopes to pass on some of her mother's passion for Scripture and insight into applying its teachings today. She writes, 'One of the greatest benefits of Bible study is its ability to connect ancient teachings with contemporary issues. Whether facing personal struggles or societal challenges, the Bible provides insights that can guide our actions and decisions. By exploring its stories and lessons, we can learn how to navigate today's world with faith and resilience.' Elizabeth and Betty suggest consistency, a conducive study environment, personal reflection, and group discussions are key factors in getting the most out of Bible studies. The guide takes an inductive approach to biblical exploration, incorporating observation, interpretation, and application. The workbook makes the often complex texts of the Old Testament into something more accessible for students. Chapters cover topics like the creation story in Genesis and the visions of the prophet Isaiah as a way to understand the nature of God's relationship with humankind. Betty says, 'The guide's structured approach encourages thoughtful reflection and meaningful application, fostering spiritual growth and transformation. As you work through the lessons, take the time to meditate on the passages and consider their implications for your personal journey.' The guide complements Betty's other books such as 'The New Testament - A Course Guide For Study, 'The Bible In Brief', and her religious-themed fiction titles 'The Darkness Under His Feet' and 'Out of Darkness'.
