Not only does this book reveal God’s love and purpose for humanity, it also provides an extraordinary context for all of Scripture. In this book’s 19 lessons, you’ll learn about the giants of the faith—Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph—and their epic stories, and you’ll see how God begins His redemptive work in Genesis to bring us all a new beginning.

Leviticus was a chisel, fashioning and forming the slaves of Egypt into the people of God. Leviticus was an exercise regimen, a plan for how God’s people could embrace God’s blessings. Leviticus was a time-out, a pause in the action for training toward holiness.

After this time-out, the action continues in the book of Numbers, reminding us how difficult it is for humans to stick to the game plan that brings God’s blessings. Together, Leviticus and Numbers paint a picture of the habits of holiness and how committed God is to seeing us become who he created us to be.

Forty years in the desert had taught God’s people how to follow and not wander. Now, in sight of the Promised Land, Moses knew they faced the risk of settling down and getting comfortable—only to wander and not follow. Nearing his death, Moses gives the Israelites a new path to faithful living: remember and reaffirm. Remember God’s unwavering presence with them in the desert, and reaffirm their commitment to being His people, even life got more comfortable. Whether you are a wanderer or a follower, Moses’ last words will help you remain rooted in God’s love.

It had been centuries since God promised to give Abraham and his family the land of Canaan. Now the time had finally come. The Lord—accompanied by Joshua, His veteran commander—leads His people to take possession of their promised inheritance. We find in the book of Joshua powerful reminders for a people prone to forgetting—reminders of what God taught His people about Himself and what it means to be a citizen of His Kingdom.

In Judges we discover that no matter how far down our sins take us, God will go farther to bring us back—again and again. The judges, despite their own sinfulness, were God’s chosen leaders. Repeatedly, the people of Israel drifted into blatant sin that provoked God’s discipline. But when they repented, God raised up judges to deliver them and call them back to Himself. As you study Judges, you will witness how deeply God loves even the worst of sinners.

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Israel wants a king. They want to be a kingdom. For decades God’s people had been stuck in cycles of sin and repentance—oppressed by rulers from outside and by sins from within. In 1 & 2 Samuel, God begins to do something new. Starting with Samuel’s miraculous birth, continuing with Saul’s insecure leadership, and culminating with David’s consolidated kingdom, the stories of 1 & 2 Samuel illuminate how God uses even our missteps so He can lead us into His best ways.

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

How could God ever use a sinner like me? Most Christians wonder this at one point or another. Entangled by sin, we question whether anything we do is valuable to God. First and Second Kings show us how, despite the persistent sins of Israel’s leaders, Israel’s God remained faithfully present—leading, guiding, redeeming at every turn. If you’re wondering how God can use you in your life, dive into 1 & 2 Kings and see how he used even the worst of sinners.

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

“Does God even care about us?” After being driven out of their homeland, the Israelites weren’t sure anymore. Amid their doubts, the stories of 1 and 2 Chronicles reminded them of God’s faithfulness. Remembering God’s work in the past would help renew their faith for the present. As you study 1 and 2 Chronicles, the stories will also help you move beyond forgetfulness to see God’s faithfulness in your own life.

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

When life is a shamble, we wonder what went wrong and long to see things put right. And often we long for the sense of God’s presence to return to our lives. The city of Jerusalem was a ruins—both its walls and its worship were crumbling. Ezra and Nehemiah longed to see their city restored with God’s presence, and each one pursued that goal in his own God-given way. Ezra the scholar restored Israel’s worship. Nehemiah the architect resurrected Jerusalem’s walls. Together, they helped God’s people rediscover God’s presence, and their stories will help you, too.

LifeChange: Job

• Pages: 128

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Relationships. Health. Work. Where have you encountered suffering? Wherever it is, Job knows how you feel. He experienced grief at every level. When we stumble into hardship, the first question we often ask is Why? And while spotting sorrow is easy, escaping it is hard. Suffering is a mystery—an invitation to explore and to listen. Job shows us how. You won’t find sophisticated explanations, easy prescriptions, or simple solutions. But you will find company in his wrestling and struggle. And as you follow his journey, may you also encounter his peace.

LifeChange: Ecclesiastes

• The Navigators: The Navigators

• Pages: 128

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

We want our lives to have meaning, so we try to find significance through worldly pursuits. We may even feel satisfied for a time. But when those moments fade—and they always do—the emptiness returns. As long as we view life from a human perspective, nothing really matters. That’s why it’s easy to relate to the author of Ecclesiastes when he declares everything to be meaningless. His journey is our journey.

The book of Ecclesiastes will teach you how to live in an unjust world dedicated to the pursuit of wealth, pleasure, and power. You’ll see that trying to find satisfaction through pleasure, work, or intellect is fruitless—but that life with God at the center is fulfilling. By examining the text’s meanings and interpretations, you will discover that Ecclesiastes points us toward Jesus, the ultimate answer to the emptiness we all experience.

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2014
• Pages: 150

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Like a good love song, the Song of Solomon veils itself with layers of meaning. Human attraction and desire are clothed in images and metaphors that, when unfastened, make many people blush. Those human passions and impulses make up a second layer that, when pulled back, reveals a divine and enduring commitment. Whatever layers you uncover, the Song of Solomon will draw you closer to the love you were made for.

LifeChange: Isaiah

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 1987
• Pages: 224

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

With word pictures to spark your imagination, the preeminent prophet Isaiah paints pictures of the holy and composes symphonies of hope. Witness the double-edged dynamic of God’s holiness, both burning away sin in the furnaces of His judgment and refining the humble so they are fit for His presence. God the looming judge also sends the Suffering Servant, who takes our sorrows upon Himself. Watch Isaiah bring these seeming contradictions to dramatic resolution in his magnificent masterwork.

LifeChange: Jeremiah & Lamentations

• The Navigators: The Navigators
• Publisher: Tyndale
• Publication Date: 2018
• Pages: 160

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

As much as we hope to avoid loneliness, sorrow, and suffering, we must learn how to accept them when they find us. Jeremiah was nicknamed “the weeping prophet” for his profound wrestling with these deep human emotions. The title of his second book, Lamentations, echoes Jeremiah’s intimate familiarity with them. By studying “the weeping prophet” and his faithfulness to God’s call, you’ll see more clearly who or what controls your own life.

• The Navigators: The Navigators

• Pages: 192

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Ezekiel faced immense uncertainty about the future—not so different from what we’re experiencing in our own time. The Old Testament book named after him portrays how Ezekiel sought to trust God and consistently obey Him despite difficult circumstances. Ezekiel expressed to God his honest reactions, emotions, and questions. He trusted in the Lord, and the Lord gave him strength, courage, and faithfulness. Witness Ezekiel’s rugged relationship with God, and let his example lead you into a deeper, more heartfelt relationship of your own.

How can we live faithfully amid the fires of opposition? How can we stay close to God when doubt seeks to devour us? Daniel the prayer warrior shows us how to keep God’s perspective always before us.

Zoom in on Daniel’s story and the pressures he faced to let go of God’s hand in his life. Then zoom out to see Daniel’s panoramic visions displaying God’s hand in human history. When adversity rolls in like a fog, Daniel reminds us how God’s perspective can give us a new vision.

Turn around. Wake up. Look alive. Be alert. Pay attention. Don’t forget. The messages of the prophets are like spiritual caffeine—a shock to the system. Through the prophets, God called his people out of their routine neglect to go forward in active faith. Like a bucket of ice water or the trill of a trumpet, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi startle our hazy thoughts to hope and rekindle our ashen hearts with zeal. If you find your spiritual muscles wan and your spiritual eyes drowsy, these clarion prophets may have just the word to enliven your spirit.
