Walking with God: A Journey through the Bible
Overview
The Bible plays a vital role in the life of the Catholic Church. In fact, we are called to immerse ourselves daily in the Scriptures. But many of us have a hard time fully grasping the meaning and our time spent can tend to be discouraging. The Bible is a collection of writings drafted by an ancient people, in an ancient culture, but Scripture is nothing less than the Living Word of God and it is meant just as much for us today as for those who lived thousands of years ago. In Walking with God, Tim Gray and Jeff Cavins unpack the central story woven throughout Scripture and present it in an easy-to-read, concise manner. Gray and Cavins take you on a journey through the narrative books of the Bible—the ones that tell the story—and present a panoramic view of God’s glorious plan of salvation. Their expert commentary dives deep into the mysteries of Scripture, unlocking its riches and showing how these inspired words are meant for you today. Enter into the Scriptures with Walking with God. Witness the fascinating story of our faith unfold and see how you, at this moment in your life, fit into God’s plan for all of humanity.

“Thus, when Egypt’s new Pharaoh refuses to ‘know’ Joseph, it is not a forgotten history lesson, but rather a refusal to recognize the status of Joseph’s family and be in relationship with them.” (Page 61)
“Isaac is the only patriarch who doesn’t leave the Promised Land and the only patriarch who is faithful to his wife. The reward of chastity is the ability to live in the Promised Land unmolested.” (Pages 47–48)
“The pattern that emerges is that God is universal in both his justice and his mercy: justice, in that one reaps what one sows; mercy, in that God cares both for the child of the slave woman and the child of the promise.” (Page 45)
“This is the first occurrence of the word ‘holy’ since the creation story, when God made the seventh day holy. Not since the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden has humanity trod on holy ground.” (Page 63)
“At the center of the first temptation, and at the heart of all rebellion against God, is a disordered vision of God that distorts him into a master who seeks to oppress us. Is God a loving Father who can be trusted or a jealous tyrant who is to be feared and rebelled against?” (Page 17)
