Sneak Peek

The Whole Bible Devotional

Have you ever tried to read through the whole Bible, only to give up halfway? Or maybe you made it to the end without being able to connect the dots. You're not alone. I've been there too. After a failed attempt to read the Bible with my family, God inspired me to write my new book, The Whole Bible Devotional, to help. It includes: A brief, nonacademic Bible overview, laying the foundation for God's redemption plan through Christ, 66 short readings taken from every book of the Bible. and corresponding prayers to help people connect with God while reading. I hope you'll check it out!
