It’s hard to beat Incomparable for me, but this title from Andrew Wilson strikes a similar vein - short and impactful chapters describing the great story of Scripture. It was an ideal companion to my morning Bible reading, especially in this postpartum season.
An excellent book full of biblical theology. Andrew Wilson is quickly becoming one of my favourite theologians and writers. Definitely in my top 2 Wilson's.
What a captivating read! Each chapter is short, so very easy to pick up and read no matter how you’re feeling, and the content is so rich- Andrew Wilson guides us through the many layers to the gospel and how it affects what we believe. I couldn’t help but smile as I read it.
What stories are contained in holy scripture? In Gospel Stories, Andrew Wilson writes that the greatest story is richer, deeper, and more wonderful than we think.
Comprised of 57 short narratives, Wilson shares key verses and short stories from the entire Bible. He introduces the Gospel as a crystal, where you can appreciate it by seeing all the differences in color and contour. The Bible is a book about Jesus, but it is also a story about love, kingdoms, the church, and more.
Refreshing and Inspirational
Wilson is wonderful with words, and I found each entry to be fresh and exciting, insightful and profound. He illustrates and applies with ease. He is able to both help you grasp the big picture and go deep into the biblical narrative. This book will be a refreshing devotional read and inspirational for pastors, preachers, and teachers already familiar with Scripture.
Pithy and poignant, Gospel Stories is a beautiful exploration of the entire Bible. It is a joyful journey for those new to Jesus, and a heartwarming reminder that the good news never gets old.
I received a media copy of Gospel Stories and this is my honest review.
I can’t get enough of these kinds of books Andrew Wilson writes— rich with illustrations and analogies, a bit humorous but filled with eternal significance, always bringing each story back to the most important Story ever told. And the last chapter! Wilson’s sweeping summary of Jesus throughout Scripture brought me to worship. This is a book I will return to regularly.
This is a very engaging and unique book on Biblical theology. There are so many good examples and analogies that make these truths come to life here. Andrew Wilson has a great way of speaking truth with great clarity and winsomeness. Really encourage all believers to get a hold of this work.
Andrew Wilson had a lot of good things to say, but this book overall felt far too disjointed and disorganized. Maybe it works better as a physical book (I listened to the audio book).
I really enjoyed this compilation of short reflections on the gospel throughout Scripture. Great to take in small doses to think about throughout the day. Highly recommended!
