Read and Engage with Scripture in a Whole New Way! The Books of the Bible™ is a fresh yet ancient presentation of Scripture. As many distractions as possible have been eliminated so readers can experience each book the way its authors intended. No more chapter and verse numbers. No more study notes. No more cross references or footnotes. No more red letters. Natural section breaks have been adjusted to reveal the inherent structure, showing the contours of each book in a way that traditional chapter-and-verse Bibles do not. The books of the Bible are arranged in an order that helps you see the unfolding drama more easily and book introductions are included to prepare you for a more in-depth reading experience. These “invitations” tell the story behind the story, unlocking the context of the book you’re about to read. The Books of the Bible uses Scripture from the New International Version (NIV), an accurate, readable and clear translation with the goal of delivering the same Bible reading experience today that the first recipients of Scripture would have had in their native languages. In The Books of the Bible, New Testament readers will enter the story of Jesus, his church, and his return. Covenant History is part 1 (of 4) of The Books of the Bible series, which is a part of the church wide-campaign, The Community Bible Experience®. The Bible books included are: Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy Joshua Judges Ruth Samuel–Kings Features: Single-column format for a clean, simple, elegant reading experience Book introductions

The New Testament Challenge is designed to help small-group members explore the books of the New Testament in a fresh and new way. In this Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), participants will learn how the story of God restoring his original creation—which was begun in the Old Testament—reached its crowning moment with the birth of Messiah into the world. Through Jesus' birth, he answered the question once and for all of who God is and what he is like. Through Jesus' teaching, he revealed the deepest meaning of the laws and institutions that God gave to the people of Israel. Through Jesus' death and resurrection, he introduced the life of the age to come into the present age. Group members will also discover how the followers of Jesus formed a new community and invited people from all over the world to join them, and how the Bible looks ahead to the day when Christ will return to renew all of creation and establish God's justice and peace on the earth. Sessions include: Luke–Acts Luke–Acts, 1–2 Thessalonians 1–2 Corinthians, Galatians, Romans Romans, Colossians, Ephesians, Philemon, Philippians, 1 Timothy, Titus, 2 Timothy Matthew Hebrews, James, Mark 1–2 Peter, Jude, John 1–3 John, Revelation Designed for use with The New Testament Challenge Video Study (sold separately).
