My Journey Through The Holy Bible

In closing this book I would like to thank a few people. First and foremost I would like to thank my family. Without them I would not be where I am today. I want to thank Celia Reeder for inspiring me to try and start memorizing bible verses in the Sunday school class she started. I want to thank Dr. Jay Strack for all his inspiring sermons he had done at NorthStar Community Church. I also want to thank Dr. Phillip Dunn for inspiring me to pick up my daily devotional book and start reading them every day again as I had put it up on my bookshelf for a while and hadn't read one until he mentioned it in a sermon. Lastly, I want to thank everyone at NorthStar Community Church for everything they have done and are doing for my family and I. God Bless all of you!

Participant Workbook Revised and reformatted! Genesis to Jesus opens the door to deeper understanding of Scripture for all Catholics, especially those who find reading the Bible a daunting task. The book leads the reader on an overview of salvation history in order to give the "big picture," the single plot that runs through the books of the Bible. What is that overarching story? God's plan to bring all humanity into his covenant family. This overview of key covenants from creation to the New Covenant established by Jesus not only helps the reader see how various biblical stories fit together in God's plan, it also provides a foundation for ongoing Bible study. Genesis to Jesus is the first in a series of study guides produced by The St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, based in Steubenville, Ohio. The Center, founded in 2000, develops materials to help Catholics deepen their faith through Scripture study.

Have you ever opened the Bible to look for answers? Maybe life is just too difficult, and you lost all hope? The Word of God has your answers, but is it too hard to understand? God's plan for salvation is meant for those who seek him, but some of us don't know where to begin. An Epic Journey through the Holy Bible with Jesus, volume one, will take you through sacred scripture one day at a time. You will get to know Jesus through his word, why he came, what his father expects from us, and how we can be the best person we can be in a fallen world. When you walk with Jesus, you hear and read quotes like, "Give your life to Me, I will take care of you and all your problems, don't doubt anymore, trust only in Me, you will never be alone, walk by faith and not by sight." Sometimes it may be difficult because you can feel Jesus's presence but not touch him; you can hear him, but he makes no sound; you can't see him, yet you know he's there. It is the spirit of God. This book will fill your heart and soul with love for Jesus and an understanding of what he is talking about to you, for you, and with you. Like going on a personal quest with Christ. Become more enlightened in your faith when the light of Jesus illuminates off the pages of sacred scripture.

Grounded in his academic science background and life-long independent study, the author presents his insights into how modern science supports of the existence of God.

Have you ever tried to read the Bible from start to finish but found it too complicated or overwhelming, causing you to give up even before you’re partway through the Old Testament? No book is as life changing as the Holy Bible. And yet, so many people have a difficult time reading it, getting bogged down with the genealogies in 1 Chronicles or the seeming convoluted laws of Leviticus, never mind the confusing imagery of Revelation. Furthermore, they have no idea how the people, events, and themes of the Old Testament connect with the New Testament and vice versa. If this describes your experience, then Journey Through the Bible is the perfect book for you. Wherever you are in your faith journey, this book of 406 daily readings makes each part of the Bible relevant, clear, and easy to understand. By inserting several points of interest along the way, author Brenda Ryan emphasizes the messages that are relevant to you and your faith walk while also connecting the Old Testament with the New Testament and the promise of a Saviour. Each reading includes, on average, three chapters of the Bible in chronological order, from Genesis to Revelation. At the end of each reading, space is provided for you to jot down and reflect upon any other points of interest that you encounter along the way. By the time you complete your journey, not only will you have a clear overview of the Bible and its one big story, you’ll be ready— and eager—to start all over again.

“An instant classic. . . . A pure joy to read.” —Washington Post Book World Both a heart-racing adventure and an uplifting quest, Walking the Bible presents one man’s epic journey- by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel- through the greatest stories ever told. From crossing the Red Sea to climbing Mount Sinai to touching the burning bush, Bruce Feiler’s inspiring odyssey will forever change your view of history’s most legendary events. The stories in the first five books of the Bible, also known as the Torah, come alive as Feiler searches across three continents for the stories and heroes shared by Christians and Jews. You’ll visit the slopes of Mount Ararat, where Noah’s ark landed, trek to the desert outpost where Abraham first heard the words of God, and scale the summit where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Using the latest archeological research, Feiler explores how physical location affects the larger narrative of the Bible and ultimately realizes how much these places, as well as his experience, have affected his faith. A once-in-a-lifetime journey, Walking the Bible offers new insights into the roots of our common faith and uncovers fresh answers to the most profound questions of the human spirit. “Smart and savvy, insightful and illuminating.” —Los Angeles Times “An exciting, well-told story informed by Feiler’s boundless intellectual curiosity . . . [and] sense of adventure.” —Miami Herald
