Take a Guided Tour of the BibleUsing material from Philip Yancey and Brenda Quinn’s book Meet the Bible, the GNT Student Bible takes you on a fascinating and enriching six-month tour of the entire Bible—its characters, places, times, stories and meaning. New discoveries await you every day.
From Adam and Eve to David the king to Paul the apostle, well-known and lesser-known figures gain new significance as you discover their place in the grand sweep of the Biblical narrative. You’ll also take in the astonishing miracles and beautifully diverse imagery of the Scriptures. Moses parting the Red Sea, Ezekiel’s valley of dry bones, Daniel in the lions’ den, Jesus walking on water, the seven-headed dragon of Revelation . . . the Bible is anything but boring or predictable. But it is understandable, with truths for today that can shape the course of the choices you make, the relationships you cultivate and the life you live.Above all, the Bible points to Jesus Christ. On your “Guided Tour,” you will meet Christ in all his humanity and all his divine glory.
From his humble birth to his death on the cross to the right hand of God, the GNT Student Bible lets you follow in the footsteps of Jesus. You will see how the Old Testament prepared his way. And you will see how in the New Testament, he is the Way to a lasting faith and a life filled with the presence of God.
