The Story of God’s Love A Summary of the Holy Bible

This book started out as a Bible History text for schools, but it developed much more. It could be called a condensed or abbreviated Bible. Each section is an excerpt from the EHV translation of the Bible, which retains the wording of the EHV text.

Reading this book is like reading the whole Bible in chronological order. Selections from the prophets, the epistles, and some of the psalms are inserted at the point where they fit into the historical narrative.  The selected sections summarize the whole plan of salvation from Eden to eternity.

Besides serving as a Bible History book, this book can be used as a simplified Bible for many instructional purposes— first-time Bible readers receive a summary of the Bible; long-time Bible readers will appreciate it as a chronological summary of the highlights of the Bible. It is recommended for distribution in institutional ministries and outreach.  It could be used as a text book for high school or college surveys of the Bible.

In addition to the biblical text, each section has an introduction to help the reader make the connection with the biblical context. Each section concludes with a brief prayer which gives an application to each lesson to the plan of salvation and to Christian life. Throughout, the emphasis is on tracing the revelation and the progress of the gospel.
