Living the Full Bible: Embracing God's Vision for Your Life, Your Church, and the World

Living the Full Bible takes a fresh approach to lay out an orderly, readable, and productive tour of the Bible. Readers' understandings are built, layer upon layer, until they have a strong foundation for their views of who God is, who we are (and who we may become), what our God-given mission is, and how our community of faith can help prepare us for our mission. Readers have noted that it has significantly developed their relationship with God, their spiritual formation, their mission awareness, and their ideas about church renewal. There are many "Aha!" moments along the way. Some have called it, "Life-changing!" Living the Full Bible is respectfully open to readers of many traditions. Each branch of the church may be challenged in some area, but will also find affirmations of some of their special concerns. This book does not draw conclusions for its readers, but does lay the Bible's unified message open for careful consideration as they seek God's leading. Many readers have expressed excitement about discovering how unified the Bible is. This book traces twenty thematic threads that run through the full Bible, weaving them together into a rich tapestry with vibrant visions for the future of Christ's followers!
