Remember and Rehearse - by J T English (Hardcover)

About the Book

Studies show Bible reading to be the most important indicator of growth. This book will help readers understanding the whole story of Scripture, allowing it to form them into the image of Christ, and propel them to read it well.

Book Synopsis

Stories are powerful. Few things on earth rival the power of stories. Humans are captured by stories, we are entertained by stories, and we live in stories. But it's not enough to simply recognize that stories are powerful. We have to recognize that the power of stories can orient us to what is true, good and beautiful. And if they have this power, they also have the power to disorient us from what is true, good and beautiful. It all depends on the story itself.

There is one true story that you are invited to live in--the story of the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation the Bible is one true story that invites us to know and love God. But you can't live in a story you don't know. Remember and Rehearse will help readers understand the whole story of Scripture. Knowing the true, good story of God combats the false stories the world tells. Through the big movements of Scripture: creation, fall, the covenants, Christ, the Spirit and the Church, and the Kingdom without end, readers will discover the unfolding drama of God's Kingdom coming to earth and how each of us are invited to be participants.

In this book, you'll discover:

• The false stories the world tells us
• The true and better story of the complete narrative of Scripture
• How you are part of that story

We are a forgetful people, but God has given us His Word so that we may remember and rehearse.
