Description:"Jefferson Bethke takes readers on a journey from the creation of the universe in Genesis to the great feast of celebration in Revelation. Reexamining the Bible from the very beginning, he discovers a story far more beautiful and compelling than the one most Christians are telling today. Instead of rescuing us from the world, God wants us to be part of his plan to restore the world. The story of the Bible is, therefore, about becoming more alive and more fully human by following the one human who was also God in the flesh: Jesus." --Back cover.
