<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this weekly devotional, two Bible experts guide readers through fifty-two of the Bible's most famous stories, revealing how each is critical to a full understanding of Christian beliefs, values, practices, and God's overarching plan for redemption.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Classic Weekly Devotional through Some of the Bible's Most Fascinating Stories <br/></b><br/>How well do everyday Christians know the stories that have shaped their faith? More than just a collection of significant and entertaining stories, <i>The 52 Greatest Stories of the Bible</i> impresses upon readers the beautiful interconnectedness of the varied narratives we find in the Bible. It: <br/><br/>- connects the dots, demonstrating how each individual story is really one chapter in the larger story<br/>- shows how Jesus, especially his death and resurrection, is the point of the story, even when the Son of God is not a key player <br/>- helps readers build a biblical worldview that answers the ultimate questions of life <br/><br/>Readers will gain a better grasp of the whole story of Scripture and, most importantly, why <i>these </i>stories are the ones God chose to preserve for us through the writers of the Bible.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>Experience the whole story of the Bible like you never have before<br/></b><br/>Most people can recount some of the big stories in the Bible--Adam and Eve in the Garden, Noah and the flood, Jonah and the fish, David and Goliath--but relatively few could probably explain the significance of these far-ranging stories to the whole story of Scripture. Are they mere vehicles for ethical teaching? Are they morality lessons? How do they relate to the other stories in Scripture and to your life today?<br/><br/>Whether you've been reading the Bible all your life or you don't even know where to start, <i>The 52 Greatest Stories of the Bible</i> will help you connect the stories that you may be familiar with--the Israelites crossing the Red Sea or Jesus multiplying food--to the Biggest Story of all: a holy God reconciling to Himself a broken and sinful humankind.<br/><br/>And when you understand <i>that </i>incredible story, you discover there's a place in it for you.<br/><br/><br/><b>Kenneth Boa</b> is the author of several books, including <i>Conformed to His Image</i>, <i>Faith Has Its Reasons</i>, <i> Handbook to Prayer</i>, <i>Handbook to Leadership</i>, and <i>A Taste of the Classics</i>.
