Woven: Understanding the Bible as One Seamless Story

by Angie Smith

Overview

Does the Bible feel confusing and complicated to you? Perhaps some of it feels familiar, but overall, does it feel impossible to navigate? Maybe you recognize the stories, but you just don’t know how they all fit together. 
 
Yet they do fit together. 
 
In her unique and remarkably readable way, Angie Smith—bestselling author of What Women Fear, Mended, I Will Carry You, and Seamless—helps you tie together all the loose, disconnected threads you find in the Bible, weaving them into a beautifully crafted storyline. After reading Woven, when it comes to reading Scripture, you’ll go:
 

• From confused to confident
• From lost to knowledgeable
• From separate stories to the One they are all about

 
Because once you see the big picture, you’ll see it on every page. Every time.
