About the Book:
One story.
One plot.
One hero.
Some may think Jesus Christ isn’t mentioned in the Bible until the New Testament. Is that a correct notion? Definitely not. Is Jesus referenced in the Old Testament? Absolutely! He is there from the very beginning. Every foretelling about the lineage, birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ the Savior can be traced and is fulfilled in the sixty-six books of the Bible.
From beginning to end, the Bible is his story—one story, one plot, one hero. In HIStory in 30 Days: Genesis to Revelation with Daily Devotionals, author Carole Schryber provides thirty daily readings with devotionals and prayers. Written in an engaging, fast-paced, accessible style, you follow along as HIStory unfolds and learn what part you’re meant to play in it.
My Thoughts:
Carol Shryber’s book, HIStory in
30 Days, is absolutely the most succinct introduction to the Bible I’ve
ever encountered! This book literally
covers Genesis through Revelation in 30 days of personal devotions. The synopsis portion includes far more detail
than you’d expect in such a brief volume, and the details are both historically
accurate and theologically sound. The
Biblical synopsis is followed by personal testimony and application from the
author’s own faith journey, and then by a brief heart-felt prayer.
So, what makes this so special, you may ask? The author’s personal testimony of how God
used HIStory to win her heart and bring her to faith in Christ. She was a lawyer with a family of young
children before she and her husband even began attending church, and it was the
timeliness of her own children’s blossoming faith that began to draw her into
her own personal relationship with Christ.
The transparency with which she shares her own steps toward faith make
this small volume a powerful ministry tool!
This would be a perfect book to share with new believers who come from a
non-church background! With a newly
blossoming seed of faith being watered by the truth of God’s Word as Shryber
presents it, I believe that many will become hungry to know more and more about
their Savior!
This is truly a powerful volume of devotions, and will refresh and
renew the faith of believers who have walked with God for years. For those who use the excuse of “not enough
time” - the book eliminates the excuse!
These devotions are brief, but powerful!
I am happy to recommend this book to everyone!
