The Drama of Scripture
CRAIG G. BARTHOLOMEW & MICHAEL W. GOHEEN
The Drama of Scripture presents the Bible as one unified, life-shaping story of God’s work in the world. Tracing Scripture as a six-act drama—creation, fall, Israel, Christ, church, and new creation—the authors reveal a faithful God who is at work to redeem and restore all things. Held together by the themes of covenant and kingdom, the story invites readers not only to understand the Bible, but to find their place within God’s ongoing mission.

Surprised by Hope
N.T. WRIGHT

Smoke Screen
TERRI BLACKSTOCK
Nate Beckett has spent his life fighting wildfires instead of the lies and rumors that drove him from his Colorado hometown. His mother begs him to come back now that his father has been released from prison, but it isn’t until he’s sidelined by an injury that he’s forced to return and face his past. But that means facing Brenna too.
The greatest discipler in a child’s life will be their parents and family. It is our desire to walk alongside parents as they disciple their kids. Below are some suggested resources for parents, kids, and youth as we journey on the walk of discipleship.
