Book Description

God's Love Story gives a broad overview of the Bible, from start to finish. It is intended to help you grasp the story and purpose of God's plan for mankind. This book contains an assortment of verses, and is not intended to replace the complete Bible. Just like a movie trailer entices you to see the whole movie, reading God's Love Story will enable you to desire, read and understand the entire Bible as never before. God's Love Story contains selected and compiled portions of the Bible, placed as best as possible in chronological order, as a means of giving a readable and easy to understand synopsis of the Bible. By removing verse markings, the text reads much like a novel, and actually reverts back to a form more like the original text as first written down thousands of years ago. God's Love Story is divided into 39 compact chapters that can easily be read in one setting. Some explanations have been added, clearly marked in italicized font - these "transitional statements" are useful in bridging the gaps over sections that were not included, for the sake of brevity. They are simple, Biblical, and written without espousing any personal doctrine or beliefs - preferring to let the scriptures speak for themselves.The scriptures were taken from the World English Bible, which is not copyrighted and thus free to use.In God's Love Story, we see plainly the plan of God, which spans from the beginning of creation to the future coming of Christ. Even from the time God created this world, He knew that the sacrifice of his Son would be required to redeem us from our sins. Despite our faults, God loved us enough to set this painful plan in motion. We were created to glorify God, who enjoys our loving worship of exercising our free will and showing our love for Him in response to His love for us. By obeying and loving Him, we fulfill our purpose. In return, God has prepared for us a wonderful place of eternal bliss. This is the greatest story ever told. This is God's love story.

Book Description

In Jesus the Bridegroom, Brant Pitre once again taps into the wells of Jewish Scripture and tradition, and unlocks the secrets of what is arguably the most well-known symbol of the Christian faith: the cross of Christ. In this thrilling exploration, Pitre shows how the suffering and death of Jesus was far more than a tragic Roman execution. Instead, the Passion of Christ was the fulfillment of ancient Jewish prophecies of a wedding, when the God of the universe would wed himself to humankind in an everlasting nuptial covenant. To be sure, most Christians are familiar with the apostle Paul's teaching that Christ is the 'Bridegroom' and the Church is the 'Bride'. But what does this really mean? And what would ever possess Paul to compare the death of Christ to the love of a husband for his wife? If you would have been at the Crucifixion, with Jesus hanging there dying, is that how you would have described it? How could a first-century Jew like Paul, who knew how brutal Roman crucifixions were, have ever compared the execution of Jesus to a wedding? And why does he refer to this as the "great mystery" (Ephesians 5:32)? As Pitre shows, the key to unlocking this mystery can be found by going back to Jewish Scripture and tradition and seeing the entire history of salvation, from Mount Sinai to Mount Calvary, as a divine love story between Creator and creature, between God and Israel, between Christ and his bride--a story that comes to its climax on the wood of a Roman cross. In the pages of Jesus the Bridegroom, dozens of familiar passages in the Bible--the Exodus, the Song of Songs, the Wedding at Cana, the Woman at the Well, the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and even the Second Coming at the End of Time--are suddenly transformed before our eyes. Indeed, when seen in the light of Jewish Scripture and tradition, the life of Christ is nothing less than the greatest love story ever told.

Book Description

Everyone adores a well-told love story. In another story of romance we see our own faults and strengths, struggles and triumphs. And we draw inspiration for our personal journey of love. Although they certainly stir our souls, the greatest love stories ever written do not come from the pen of Shakespeare or Austen. They're love stories told by God -- stories of men and women drawn together by a divine Creator and tested by the world around them.
