See the sweeping story of God's promise, faithfulness, and human complexity, with a guide to help you fully understand His Word.
Reading the first books of the Bible can feel like opening a map to ancient lands, unknown customs, and long-forgotten journeys. Don't shy away from the unknown! Instead, follow the path from the first days of creation, through wilderness wanderings, to the edge of the Promised Land, seeing how these Old Testament passages connect to Christ in the New Testament. Reveal how Jesus' presence weaves through the promises made to Abraham, the rescue from Egypt, and the great flood.
Build your Bible reading skills through six key features:
- Visualize: Maps, diagrams, pictures, and infographics to help you visualize scenes, locations, and concepts.
- Picture of the Savior: Highlights people, places, or events that point forward to the coming of Jesus.
- Link between the Testaments: Reveals relationships between the Old and New Testaments.
- Clear the Confusion: Clarifies passages that can be confusing by offering backstories, describing future developments, or explaining the significance of the event.
- Set the Scene: Explains important cultural and historical themes.
- Waypoint: Asks you to consider a question or dig deeper into the text.
This is more than a commentary or a study tool; it's a friendly, trustworthy travel guide for readers ready to dig into God's Word and build stronger Bible reading skills along the way.
Whether you're newly exploring or seeking a deeper understanding of the Books of Moses -- Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy -- let Guiding Word: Volume 1 be your guide.
