with (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798986541310)

To hear the words, look at the pictures.

What if we could see the Bible for what it truly is? What we know as a book is a portrait gallery with a single face on exhibit. Every word, every stroke, every syllable: every passage shows us the breathtaking face of Jesus. If you have ever longed to see Him, just open your eyes and look.

This is an invitation to encounter the Bible in a fresh, new way. Come to the stories as never before, with Jesus positioned at their center. Learn to look for Him, and you will find Christ and His cross at every turn. Discover the secret that He is with us-with us for good and for life, with us in death and resurrection, with us in grace and unending love-and let it change the way you see everything else.

Drawing on the Bible's recurring metaphors of sea, ground, robe, and child, With brings the sweeping narrative of Immanuel into sharp and simplified focus. These images are the illustrations God has handwoven through the Scriptures so that everyone can see His glorious plan in all its wondrous and redemptive color.

Take the Spirit's offer to sit and linger. Look closely, for the first time or the hundredth, and you'll see what With really means. See Jesus, and along the way, come to understand what you have been reading all your life.
