Living God's Word is your gateway to reading the Bible as it was intended to be read: as God's Great Story. This workbook is designed to be used in conjunction with the second edition of Living God's Word. While the textbook helps you see the big picture of what God is doing throughout the Bible, the workbook allows you to reflect on and internalize what you are reading. Many Christians resolve to study the Bible more diligently, but often struggle to grasp the progression of Scripture as a whole. They encounter various passages each week through unrelated readings, studies, and sermons, and it all feels disconnected. But once they see the Bible as God's Great Story, they begin to understand how it all fits together and start to see how their own lives fit into what God has done and is doing in the world.

In Living God's Word, Second Edition, New Testament scholar J. Scott Duvall and Old Testament expert J. Daniel Hays help Christians consider how their lives can be integrated into the story of the Bible, thus enabling them to live faithfully in deep and important ways.

Living God's Word explores the entire Bible through broad themes that trace the progression of God's redemptive plan. Each section deals with a certain portion of Scripture's story and includes:

Reading/listening preparation: This section provides preparation for reading or listening to the assigned passage. It may include questions, outlines, or other resources to help you engage with the text.

Written Assignments for Further Study: This section provides written assignments or questions for further study. These assignments may encourage you to reflect on the passage more deeply, apply its teachings to your life, and engage in scholarly research.

These features, combined with the authors' engaging style, make Living God's Word an ideal book for those who want to understand the Bible better, for introductory college courses, Sunday school electives, or small group study.
