It is the Word of God, the Breath of the Spirit, and the unveiling, in space and time, of God the Son, Jesus Christ; Lord, Messiah, Savior, and King.Paupers, Princes and Kings stand in awe at its wisdom, fall prostrate before its power, and discover its Loving, Eternal Author, to be Holy, Omnipotent, Gentle and Kind.The Bible is one book containing many books. There are sixty-six individual books between the covers of the Bible, bound together by the scarlet thread of redemption that weaves, from Genesis to Revelation, a tapestry of God's plan for mankind and the revelation of the Savior of the world. The Bible is, at the same time, ancient and timeless, universal and personal. It is God's message to mankind, past, present and future, and God's personal, intimate communication with you. (Editors Note) "Edward Goble has a talent for explaining both the simple and complex passages of the Bible in an easy-to-read style. His summary of each book of the Bible, accompanied by key verses, provides the reader with a condensed version of what the Bible encompasses, the time span during which it was written and the significance of events foretold years before they occurred or yet to come. In sharing the Bible's teachings and stories, Goble relates them to today's world and explains both the consequences of following God and turning away from God. Foremost, Goble emphasizes God's unwavering, everlasting love for mankind. The book is a good beginning for those new to the Bible and an uplifting review for those who know it well."Debbie Jenkins CookDanville, KY

Download or read book For the Love of God Vol 1 Trade Paperback written by D. A. Carson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2006-07-10 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world that views absolute truth, right and wrong, and salvation as being subject to individual interpretation, the Bible's unwavering proclamations and miraculous stories seem obsolete in modern times. But it is not God's Word that has changed. Indeed, its relevancy and its power to transform lives are intact. What has changed is the number of people who consult it. Now more than ever the need to read the Bible, to understand the big picture of its storyline, and to grasp the relevance this has for your life is critical. As with its companion volume, For the Love of God-Volume 2, this devotional contains a systematic 365-day plan, based on the M'Cheyne Bible-reading schedule, that will in the course of a year guide you through the New Testament and Psalms twice and the rest of the Old Testament once. In an effort to help preserve biblical thinking and living, D. A. Carson has also written thought-provoking comments and reflections regarding each day's scriptural passages. And, most uniquely, he offers you perspective that places each reading into the larger framework of history and God's eternal plan to deepen your understanding of his sovereignty-and the unity and power of his Word.

To that end, her new daily devotional combines fascinating historical background information about the Bible with practical application that readers can implement in their lives each day. She guides readers on a journey through the Bible from beginning to end, highlighting major events, characters, and stories, as well as difficult issues and topics (such as the concept of theophany, God's instructions to the Israelites to show no mercy as they entered the Promised Land, and what seems at first glance to be discrepancies between the Gospels). Readers new to Bible study or those who long to learn more will appreciate the background information Matthews provides, as well as the way she shows how the Scriptures fit together to form a cohesive work. This is the perfect devotional for anyone who desires to go deeper into the Scriptures as they deepen their relationship with God.
