The Covenant Story

Whether you've spent your life in church or are a curious observer of the Christian faith, you can't help but wonder. Is God good, and can I trust him? Can I trust the Bible? How am I supposed to read this ancient book of confusing stories? Does the God of the Bible actually make a difference in my here-and-now life?

The Bible tells a story-and it may be one you haven't considered. It is the story of God and humans in an unexpected relationship of faithfulness and love. It's about people who fail and about the God who pursues them with his unrelenting covenant love. And it concludes with a miracle plot twist so astonishing, it changes everything.

Written with beautiful prose, The Covenant Story is a breathtaking picture of the covenant relationship we all can share with the faithful God who loves us, who never ceases to be for us, and who has promised to never abandon us. This is The Covenant Story-and it is the story we are invited to enter.

""With both tenderness and rich insight, Sonya Anderson retells the greatest love story ever-the story of God's faithful love for his people. I've known this story from my childhood but found myself deeply stirred and deeply grateful on hearing it once again. Read this book and let it do that for you."" -Pastor Mike Bullmore, Crossway Community Church, Bristol, WI
