God of All Promises

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“A devotional, a prayer book, an intimate reflection on the deep stories of our faith in conversation with the God we meet in Genesis: a gift. Read this as a pastor preparing to preach on these texts, read this as liturgy in worship as a prayer of the people, read this as a person of faith longing to connect with the God that sometimes seems so strange and yet so wonderful in these ancient stories. Brueggemann spans the distance between ancient and present, speaking words on our behalf that connect us as a family of faith across the generations. Above all, this book testifies to Brueggemann’s life work as a biblical scholar: an act of faith seeking understanding, to both obey and plead with the God we meet in Scripture.”
