God put the Bible together for you, and he wants you to understand and know him better. But sometimes you can get lost in the details and miss the big picture. The Bible is more than just a collection of wisdom, instructions, and history. It''s one unified story of the incredible love of God! Encountering God''s Heart for You takes you on a daily journey through the full narrative of Scripture in a year. And in the process, it will draw you nearer to God as you discover his love and compassion. It won''t cover every verse, or even every chapter, in the Bible, but by the time you''re through, you''ll have a strong grasp of what the Bible is all about. Reading Scripture isn''t just a way to collect information or check something off a to-do list. Let this book bring you into God''s presence to better understand the Bible''s story of love, sacrifice, and redemption as he draws you to himself.
