God's great story of salvation, told through His covenants and the stories of the ordinary men and women He used to weave the scarlet thread of salvation is not complete. The conclusion of His tapestry of life will come when Jesus Christ returns and establishes His kingdom on earth. The people God selected to illustrate His mercy were not perfect, as we are not perfect, giving us hope that God uses every person who believes Him to convey His message of grace and mercy to a dying world. The stories portrayed in this book show us that God's plan, formulated before the foundation of the earth, is still progressing through us. Faith is the only qualification for being part of His story. This book narrates the accounts of imperfect men and women of faith in the hope that those who read it will someday see themselves in His finished work. Judith Smith has led Precept Bible studies for twenty-seven years. She also served as the Kansas State Director for Concerned Women for America for sixteen years. Her two passions intersected as she discovered people must understand and apply the word of God in order to extend their influence to change the world.

Paperback. Condition: Good. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Garamond} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Garamond; min-height: 13.0px} Eons ago, when God created the universe, He proclaimed it good. The first perfect couple, created in His image lived in a perfect world until sin crept in through Satan, a fallen angel disguised as a serpent. Adam and Eve believed his lies rather than God's promises and refused to obey His conditions. Estrangement followed with their connection to God's Spirit severed. Intimacy with Him was lost. However, God was not finished with men. Throughout the centuries, He initiated covenants with the men and women who trusted Him. Those covenants became the 'scarlet thread' woven into His tapestry of world history, to lead ultimately to the redemption of God's creation. Those whom God used were not perfect people; the sinful world affected them too. The difference was they trusted God, and, with the introduction of the Old Covenant or the Law, they began to learn how to please Him. Through trials and suffering, they acquired obedience and trust in things unseen. The second book in The Covenant Series takes the children of Israel from bondage in Egypt to freedom and access to the land God promised Abraham four hundred years earlier. They loved freedom but did not understand their release required allegiance to a holy God before they could grasp His blessings. This book tells their stories. We also eagerly appropriate His grace, but fail to realize our lives must change. Through the stories of these ancient men and women it is my hope that readers will see God as not only loving and kind, but also sovereign and holy-a God that demands our faithfulness.
