This little book summarizes the Bible from Genesis to the Revelation in 400-and-some verses with helpful commentary. The resulting narrative shows that God creates us in full communion with God; but we choose to alienate ourselves from God and from one another; over and over we reject God; nonetheless, God steadfastly invites us back into communion. From this narrative comes a holistic meaning: that the Bible is all about God's boundless yearning to have us back, regardless of our alienation. It's a fascinating story, different from what you may have thought, thrilling in its profound simplicity, amazing in its ironies and paradoxes. Be prepared from some surprises and some remarkable insights.
