Description
Get a better understanding of the Bible through 10 words that help define God's plan for restoring and redeeming our broken world.
The Bible contains around 750,000 words — a number that would intimidate even the most seasoned readers of the Bible. Yet, from the beginning of time, God set in place a plan to bring us back to the One who loves us.
Remarkably—as though God couldn't wait to tell us—this plan is telegraphed in the first few pages of the Bible and can be summed up in just 10 words: light, dust, breath, garden, river, eat, alone, naked, afraid, sweat.
Deron Spoo traces each word through the Bible and explains how these words reveal God's plan for restoring our broken world. Each word is both rich in meaning and full of promise. Following the thread of each word as it appears and reappears in the Bible, The Bible in 10 Words offers a compelling glimpse of who God is and what He is saying to us.
Advance Praise
"Can it be done? Ten words to carry the weight of Deron Spoo's subtitle? In one word: a resounding 'yes.' His lexical exploration, full of insight, illumination, and endearing personal anecdotes, more than lives up to his aim of providing a 'fresh encounter' with the Bible, our understanding of God, and our sense of his presence in our everyday lives. "—David Crystal, world-renowned linguist, Honorary Professor of Linguistics at the University of Wales, Bangor, and bestselling author of over 100 books
