Hey guys.
I know this might be weird, but are there any books that summarizes stories from the Bible? Or perhaps books on Christianity is also welcomed. Not religious, not looking to be religious, just want to learn more ☺️
Thanks everyone!

Might not be what you’re looking for but a children’s Bible will have all the major stories and the basic gist of the Bible. My personal favorite is the Jesus Storybook Bible. I know this is probably not what you meant by this question but if you just want a basic knowledge of the Bible it would work.
I recommend, The Story: The Bible as One Continuing Story of God and His People. It uses a very readable NIV translation and attempts to abridge the Bible to present it in a story format. It mostly quotes directly, with summary sections italicized.
Not the Bible, and not exactly religious but, Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton. It’s a hoot and not at all what you’d think. All of Chesterton’s many books are very good. Also, might have a look at C. S. Lewis, e.g., Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters.
Why not go a step forward and read stories from Quraan? It has stories from Bible as well as the Torah
Mere Christianity by CS Lewis is really good.
