Walking with God: A Journey Through the Bible
by Tim Gray & Jeff Cavins
Jeff Cavins built The Great Adventure, a way of reading the Bible by periods and following the books that carry the story forward. Walking with God, written with biblical scholar Tim Gray and published by Ascension, is the story itself, told from creation to the early Church.
Gray and Cavins don't try to cover every book. They follow the main road. It runs from creation and fall to the patriarchs, from Egypt and the Exodus to the desert, then through conquest and judges, the kingdom, exile and return, and finally Christ and the Church. Along the way they unpack covenant, kingship and temple, and they keep showing how the Old Testament sets the table for Jesus. The pace is brisk and the writing is plain.
It suits inquirers who want to see the Bible as one story, parish groups using The Great Adventure, and anyone who has meant to read the whole Bible but couldn't see how it fits together. It pairs naturally with The Bible in a Year podcast, which follows the same timeline.
