Drawing from Scripture, everyday experience, and contemporary reflection, college professor Michael Lodahl weaves together the stories and themes of the Bible to present a compelling picture of the grand story of God and the amazing love He has for His people.  The book uses flesh-and-blood stories of the Bible to help readers see the complete picture of God’s love for the world, thereby gaining a better understanding and appreciation for the Christian faith.  Especially effective in world areas that are experiencing dramatic growth of the church.
