From Beginning to Forever - Bible Study Book with Video Access: A Study of the Grand Narrative of Scripture

by Elizabeth Woodson

Many Christians today are daunted by the Bible, seeing the size and scope of Scripture as intimidating and overwhelming. The result is often a fragmented understanding of parts of the Bible, which leads us to view it through the lens of our individual stories, primarily looking for different verses or passages to help us live our everyday lives. But, in our search for personal truth, we fail to see how the entirety of Scripture works together to show a bigger story—God's work to redeem and restore the entire world. In From Beginning to Forever , Elizabeth Woodson guides you through the story of the Bible, showing how all 66 books combine to form one unified narrative. Weaving together the rich theological truths found in Genesis through Revelation, this 8-session study shows the eternal significance of what God is doing in the world and how he invites us to be a part of it.   Video

Overall I did really enjoy the study. I don't think that you can please everybody when making an 8 week study that covers all of scripture but she did a good job of focusing on a central theme. I will say that me and the ladies in my Bible study discussed that we were sometimes frustrated by the skipping around in scripture when there was assumed knowledge of what was missed but we concluded that it did pique our curiosity to read for ourselves what we missed and delve deeper into Scripture which is ultimately a very good thing and leads me to rate it 5/5.

It’s a great tool to learn or further understand how the story of the Bible comes together and how it’s working in our lives. Simple for beginners and a great tool to refresh what we already know. Good and easy to use for reference.

I really struggled with how to rate this. The content is accurate. The heart for God is true. Will I suggest this study to someone wanting to learn the whole narrative of scripture, no.
I would recommend this for someone looking to hone their evangelism skills. This study teaches you to condense the scripture narrative down into bite sized chunks to share. That can be hard for a person like me who wants to include everything. This study is helpful to those who have a strong understanding of scripture as a whole. If you don’t, you would miss a lot of key events within this study. She talks about it being a fly over, and that’s exactly what it is.

Elizabeth Woodson has a good concept here that could be fine tuned to be great. This study will only appeal to seasoned Bible readers. A few weeks I need to reread the sections covered since it is a general overview and covers a huge amount of reading and didn’t have the time to dedicate some weeks before the lesson. Also a keeper.

Bible study. Lots of work but worth it. Great connection of all the books of the Bible with one central theme of God’s kingdom.
