What an absolutely fascinating book; a Bible overview told as a story – HIS-story.
This fresh telling of the progress of salvation is mouth-watering; the language is so alive that the reader is gripped by the story-line. In fact, even though I’ve been a follower of Jesus for over 50 years, I just couldn’t put this down. Every time there is an encounter between a human and God we are told that the ‘cosmic doorway’ is opened, the doorway in/out of our universe. The writer traces the history of Jewish people, called ‘Family Abraham’ in a most original and enjoyable way.
When we reach the NT we meet the ‘Wonder-Child’, Yeshua-Jesus by name, and we see biblical theology being fleshed out. We discover how Yeshua-Jesus is the great fulfilment of so much background from the OT. Although there is only a little infor-mationontheActs andthe letters,the author really encourages us to take this good news of Jesus all over the world, in the power of the Spirit. We, true believers, are soul-mates of Yeshua-Jesus and we feel it. Stuart Hacking makesusfeelourprivilegeandresponsibility.
If you have never read the Bible right through, or are just starting out to explore the good news of Jesus, this is a first-class book to get into your hands, head and heart. I think you’ll love it! And if you’ve been a believer for many years, this book will refresh and excite you, as you see how God’s purposes come to a head in Yeshua-Jesus. By the end, you will be wanting to tell everyone about him!
