| Publisher Description: In this book, popular author J. Ellsworth Kalas presents the grand story of the Bible in thirteen brief chapters. Writing in his engaging, narrative style, Kalas takes readers through the different books of the Bible, providing descriptions, reflection, and context, showing how there is an overarching plot that binds all of the varied writings of the Bible together. Kalas highlights the wonders of the Bible for readers both familiar and unfamiliar with them, and shows how the Bible isn't just a collection of stories of the past, but rather it is our own continuing story of God and God's relationship with the human race. This book includes a study guide. |
