The Bible Jesus Read Participant's Guide - by Philip Yancey (Paperback)

About the Book

The Old Testament is God's biography, the story of his passionate encounters with people and also a prequel to the story of Jesus. This Zondervan Groupware uses video and group discussion to explore the sometimes shocking and cryptic writings in an effort to know God better.

Book Synopsis

Many Christians tend to ignore the Old Testament or dismiss it as impenetrable and obscure.

Award-winning author Philip Yancey serves as guide and interpretive leader of ten video study sessions. In a series of in-depth interviews and explanations he covers five crucial segments of the Old Testament:

1. Job: Seeing in the Dark
2. Deuteronomy: A Taste of Bittersweet
3. Psalms: Spirituality in Every Key
4. Ecclesiastes: The End of Wisdom
5. The Prophets: God Talks Back

Philip approaches each of these major segments from a different point of view--from the paradoxes of Ecclesiastes to the poetry of the Psalms--and adds additional interpretive material extending the reach of his best-selling book.

He teams again with the Emmy Award-winning production team responsible for video production of the "What's So Amazing About Grace?" Zondervan Groupware. Philip Yancey's combination of scholarship and insight brings new light to old material and stimulates new discussion, thought, and further study.
