This paperback book is a redemption history, Christ centered storyline leading the reader on a journey to understanding that builds on the basics of Old Testament through New Testament to seeing ht relevance of redemption in their own lives.

Thirty-eight lessons in chronological order combine scripture with questions, summaries, and authors’ final thoughts guide the reader or group through the book.

While the book is compact it is full of lesson for young adults as well as their parents or any adult looking for an understanding. The overall style of the lesson would fit well into a small group setting as well as an individual classical approach. While the material is written on a high school or higher level, a family could study it together with open discussion for younger children such as tweens. The book is really written as a small group Bible study but like so many resources out there can be adapted for homeschoolers.

As a mom looking for Bible Studies that can be done either alongside or with a group I really appreciate the author’s antidotes and the overall feel for the study. As a mom of two younger boys I found the subject refreshing as I look for something to challenge myself. I also found a balance of verses and thought I could share with my boys, even though they are younger, they often pick up on bits and pieces surprising me. I found myself getting bogged down in some of the Old Testament materials, but then the author’s insights snapped me out of it. The author speaks to mothers and their hearts with love and compassion while on this journey. This was a refreshing as often Bible studies are so dry and Miss Mom’s heart thus also missing the young adult or teen children’s hearts. If you are looking for a handy, hard hitting thought provoking, loving study of redemptive history and how you fit in to the big picture this book will take you on that journey like you never thought.
