DISCOVER, LEARN, WORSHIP—The threefold approach behind Unlocking the Bible Story, designed to show how the entire Bible points to Jesus Christ.
What began as a sermon series by Colin Smith, to be preached over a period of two years at Arlington Heights Evangelical Free Church in Illinois—in order to teach the story of the Old Testament—quickly became this four volume series. Smith, uniting the Old and New Testament story, provides a big picture view of Scripture with his two volumes covering the Old Testament, and two covering the New. This series packs the main themes and concepts of the Bible into its pages, providing the reader with rich encouragement and life-changing truths.
Each of the eighty chapters in this four volume series begins with a key question to unlock, and ends with a summary of the answer from the Bible. At the beginning of each chapter there are signposts that point out discoveries you will make, truths you will learn, and insights that will help you to worship. Finally, in each chapter of the Old Testament volumes, you will find a "Spotlight on Christ" which will help you to see how the whole Bible points us forward to Jesus Christ.
