WHOLE LIFE, WHOLE BIBLE
50 readings on living in the light of Scripture

The book consists of 50 short readings going through the unfolding story of the Bible with the aim of helping the reader to live in the light of God’s word from Monday to Sunday, bringing biblical truths to bear on every aspect of life.
There are questions at the end of each reading, typically two or three pages long, to help us consider what that might look like in practice in our lives and culture.
Written with great warmth and clarity, and without getting bogged down in too much detail, many helpful insights are packed into each short reading. The authors’ enthusiasm and passion for God’s word clearly comes across, as does their conviction that when we see the sweep of Scripture through the gospel of Jesus it will have a huge impact on our whole lives. This is a great book for helping new Christians know how to read the Bible, get a handle on the big picture and see how it all fits together. It is also great for those who have been Christians much longer and who want to think seriously about how to live in the light of God’s word. This is an excellent book which I have found hugely encouraging and inspiring. Since reading it, I have given several copies away as presents!
