Living Into the Bible's Grand Story

A Devotional

What is the Bible all about? The Bible is a collection of sixty-six different pieces of literature. These ‘books’ of the Bible include everything from ancient history to erotic love poetry to personal letters! Reading the Bible—to say nothing of understanding and applying it—can be overwhelming and confusing. Is there a single drama that runs throughout Scripture? Is there a grand story of which we are a part? The answer is “Yes!” This devotional guides you through four major themes in Scripture over the course of a year. Each week includes short reflections and invitations to discover parts of the narrative of Scripture to help you find your place in the Bible’s grand story.
