Have you ever wished you could see how the entire Bible fits together as one cohesive story? In The Story of God and Us, pastor and theology professor Jonathan Murphy retells the grand narrative of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. You’ll begin with creation and trace the line of God’s unfolding plan of redemption through the fall, the patriarchs, the kings, the prophets, and then the coming of the Messiah in the Gospels. You’ll continue the storyline of God’s faithfulness from generation to generation in Acts and the Epistles and finally anticipate all to come as revealed in Revelation. This captivating book connects all the dots for those who’ve never read the Bible in its entirety or those unsure of how all the people and events tell one unified story.
Rather than treating the Bible as a collection of disconnected stories, Murphy demonstrates how every part of Scripture points to God’s faithfulness, His covenant promises, and, ultimately, His Son, Jesus Christ. Along the way, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of God’s character and discover how you fit within His greater story.
One of the book’s greatest strengths is its ability to combine theological depth with practical application. Murphy pauses routinely to point out important lessons we must not miss from those who trusted in God’s promises and those who failed and reverted to their own understanding. Murphy’s warnings and encouragements are a great help as you aim to live faithfully, trusting in God even when He appears not present.
The Story of God and Us is a highly recommended book to use for a group Bible study with those who are new to learning the story of the Bible.
