Overview

Turn Bible Reading from a Duty into a Delight

Far too often, reading the Bible seems like just another obligation to check off your to-do list. But the Bible is so much more than a boring book of rules and regulations and stories of plagues and punishments.

The entire Bible is a love story, and every chapter is a scene in the epic romance between God and humanity. In this sweeping overview of the Bible, Elyse Fitzpatrick reveals how each section--the Law, history, poetry, and epistles--points to God’s eternal love for you and the good news of redemption through Christ. You’ll find yourself drawn to the Bible like never before as you begin to see Jesus on every page.

Discussion questions make this a great book to study on your own or with a small group.

Top Highlights

“Bible reading is meant to clothe you in faith so that when either blessing or adversity (or the boringly mundane) confront you, you’ll be enabled to face them with courage and humility, remembering the story of how you’ve been loved throughout the ages. We don’t read the Bible to earn God’s blessing. We read it because his blessing is already ours.” (source)

“Rather, it is only when we learn the lesson that Jesus taught that we will be able to persevere in the difficulties we inevitably face. Only then will the Bible blaze to life before our eyes.” (source)

“was the result of both the empowering of the Holy Spirit and a Christ-centered understanding of the Scriptures” (source)

“(Mark 15:40–41). Then she had stood with his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene to witness his execution” (source)

“They are there to point us to Jesus, the only truly faithful hero” (source)
