I'd be interested in reading this "Bible". What worries me is the context and content.
Kinda like printing every tenth word in a set of directions, possibly.
But, If it has been written well and true to the scipture, it may do some good.
What one must remember is that once you make Jesus the LORD of your life (submit your will to his) you will have a thirst for the WORD (John 1st chapter) that is never quenched.

In an era where everything is reduced to simplistic either-or/right-wrong/good-bad dualisms, the reduction of the Bible into a 100-minute version shouldn't be surprising.
Faith, like everything in this world, is complex and ambiguous. Christianity certainly is--why else would there be so many different forms and interpretations of it.
Perhaps Christians can learn a lesson from the Jewish faith, which has it's foundational scripture and then 3000 years of commentary on it.
