my story — Joshua Lenon
I was the classic churched kid who grew up with all of this stuff and could tell you all about Peter and Abraham, the Exodus and the virgin birth. I “knew” all the right answers to the questions in Sunday School. The problem was I didn’t care about any of it, and I certainly didn’t know how any of it fit together.
I knew the Bible like someone knows the index of a book. I could tell you all of the facts, but I couldn't tell you how the story all fit together. I was like the Star Wars nerd who knew the name of every planet in the galaxy, the speed and weapons of every ship, and what the buttons did on Darth Vader’s suit. But I had never actually watched the movie, and had no clue what the storyline actually was.
Learning to read the Bible as one whole story transformed my entire life and gave me an understanding of the good news that Jesus has come to bring to a very broken world.

The Lord’s Prayer is a rich, beautiful example of how we are to pray as Christians. Jesus began this teaching by saying, “Pray then like this...,” so we would do well to heed his words. We know it’s important to pray, but it can sometimes be difficult knowing what or how to pray.
Join author Katie Noble as she mines the riches of the Lord’s Prayer one line at a time, drawing us nearer to the foot of the cross and teaching us a biblical language of prayer as we look to Jesus as our example. Push past any assumptions you may have about this powerful passage of Scripture and ask God to open your eyes to new and beautiful riches in his Word. Let it shape the way you talk to God as you learn to pray the Scriptures.

God of Forever by Haylee J. Williams
An 8-Week Study on the Character of God
Download the free Week One Preview
We cannot wish to know God apart from his Word. The God of the Bible is infinitely holy, wise, glorious, powerful, and good. But there are many other voices that would seek to guide our thinking about God. Can we truly know God? Is he really unchanging, or has he changed from the Old Testament to the New Testament?
This 8-week study draws out the truth of God’s character through the pages of God’s Word. With a primary focus on Scripture, God of Forever is an excellent introduction to the Trinity and to the unchanging constancy of God. Looking closely at the united will and essence of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, this devotional seeks to dispel the misunderstandings surrounding the love and omnipotence of the Lord.
Each week includes a topic regarding the character and nature of God. The study is focused on getting in the Word and discovering the truths contained within. Insightful commentary on the passage of the day will help readers to digest the deep meaning found from their study of the Word. Thought-provoking guided questions help the reader to extrapolate meaning and find application for what they are learning.
