Book Description

For thousands of years people have studied the words and stories of the Bible, searching out the meaning of verses from patriarchs and prophets of the Old Testament and from Jesus and the first Christians. With so many books, chapters, and verses, the Bible is daunting to most of us. Now Steve and Lois Rabey offer a foothold toward understanding, a key to the mysteries, and a brilliant selection of verses that stand at the very heart of Scripture's true spirit and meaning for our time.

Rather than a substitute for God's word, this book captures the breadth and depth of expression in the Bible, whether it is in the haunting, poetic cry of David's psalms, Job's famous "grumbling unto God," or the last words that Jesus spoke to his disciples. What does it mean to be created in "God's image"? Why did God say to Jeremiah: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you"? How are we to interpret Galatians 3:28-"You are all one in Christ Jesus"? With their unmatched ability to find simple yet powerful lessons for our daily lives, Steve and Lois Rabey show how verses from Scripture echo throughout human events and why the Bible can change the way we live through sickness and health, joy and sadness, challenges and triumphs.

101 Most Powerful Verses in the Bible breathes new life into Bible verses we thought we knew, delves deeper into words we may have overlooked, and guides us to a closer relationship with God by offering a single precious gift: the hunger to learn more of his word.
