Bible: A Story That Makes Sense of Life (The)
Author: Andrew Ollerton
Product code: B555
When we make sense of the Bible, the Bible makes sense of us.
The political, social and cultural upheaval of our times can leave us feeling bewildered and wondering where to turn for trustworthy guidance. As unlikely as it may seem, could the Bible provide ancient wisdom that helps us flourish today?
Join Andrew Ollerton as he explores the storyline of Scripture, connecting six major biblical events with six definitive human needs: meaning, freedom, peace, community, love and for an ultimate home. In short, digestible chapters, Andrew reveals how the Bible story makes sense of our human story.
Discover for yourself a limitless source of guidance and hope in the face of so much uncertainty.
Contains discussion questions for small groups, as well as suggested Bible readings and reflection questions to accompany each chapter. The structure of the book makes it ideal to read as a daily devotional.
