Shows how we read the Bible and interpret Scripture in order to live in grace-filled relation to God’s divine purpose
Green contends that when we approach the Bible as Scripture, the Bible then becomes our book; these Scriptures become our Scripture. We are not reading someone else’s mail – as though reading the Bible had to do foremost with recovering an ancient meaning intended for someone else and then translating its principles for use in our own lives.
Argues that when we encounter the Bible, the fundamental transformation takes place, not through the metamorphosis of an ancient message into a contemporary meaning, but as our lives are radically changed by means of God’s Word.
Concludes that reading the Bible as Scripture has less to do with what tools readers bring to the task, than with their dispositions as they engage Scripture.
Thus, readers come to the Bible, not so much to retrieve facts or to gain information, but to be formed and ultimately, transformed.

Love Stories Of The Bible Speak
$30.00The Bible is full of “love” stories. But the Biblical idea of love is so much bigger than we imagine.
Love is at the heart of the Bible. From the moment Adam declared Eve “flesh of my flesh”…to the sacrificial love of Joseph for Mary…to the deep friendship of David and Jonathan…to the abounding and never-changing love of God: The Bible is a love story. But it also redefines the way the world tells us we should think about love.
The Bible reveals not just butterflies and broken hearts. In Scripture, we see God’s beautiful design for the partnership of marriage. We witness friendships that cross all boundaries. We watch as families navigate the many seasons of life. Our guiding example for them all is the deepest, most abiding, foundational love ever known: God’s unconditional love for His people.
In The Love Stories of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream draws lessons from the good, the bad, and the ugly of Biblical romances, friendships, and families. She shows how God’s love is often very different from ours, turning upside down our assumptions about life, relationships, and each other.
The Love Stories of the Bible Speak reminds us that, no matter where we find ourselves, God’s unwavering love will sustain and guide us. These insights into biblical relationships will uplift and encourage you, and reveal new dimensions to the most central Christian duty: to love God and your neighbor.
