Overview

Rediscover--or discover for the very first time--the incredible story of God’s love

The Bible tells a story. It’s a beautiful account of God’s love for people throughout history. The events of the Bible are exciting, tender, and at times awe-inspiring, but often the story can get lost among the laws, genealogies, poetry, and instructions.

The Whole Bible Story shares the entire grand narrative of the Bible in one easy-to-read, chronological account. All the stories you remember--and many of those you don’t--make up the page-turning story of God’s pursuit of you.

Perfect for those who are:
● looking to understand the overall flow of the Bible
● wanting a refresher course
● interested in rereading Bible stories
● needing a reference tool for better understanding the Bible and specific biblical events

Top Highlights

“As a consequence of her disobedience, the Lord said Eve would suffer pain in bearing children, and Adam and Eve’s marriage relationship would suffer from a sinister conflict. Eve now would have a sinful desire to control and manipulate Adam; Adam would attempt to dominate and exploit Eve.” (source)

“ Jacob’s twelve sons would become the leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel.)” (source)

“The tenth plague was the most devastating: the death of the firstborn sons. Instead of automatically protecting Israel from this plague, the Lord told Moses they would need to sacrifice a sheep or goat and place the blood over the doorframes of their homes and roast and eat the meat. When the Lord saw the blood, he would pass over those homes but strike the land of Egypt with the plague of death.” (source)

“The consequences of Adam and Eve’s sin surfaced again in rebellion against God in Shinar (the ancient region of Babylonia or southern Mesopotamia; this area is today’s country of Iraq). As the population began to increase after the flood, God commanded people to repopulate all of the earth. Instead of obeying, they settled on a plain in Shinar.” (source)

“It is an effort to synthesize the storyline of the Old and New Testaments minus the laws, messages (sermons), prophecies, and parables (stories). It does not include Old Testament poetry (wisdom literature) and prophecy, and it does not include the New Testament Epistles.” (source)
