Large parts of the
Bible are unfamiliar territory for many people. We're not sure
what to make of them, still less how to live by them. From
Creation to New Creation gives us a route map. By tracing
the unfolding promises of God, it enables us to make sense of the
Bible story. The result is a book that not only shows us how
to understand the Bible as a whole, but also how it continues to
speak to people in the twenty-first century.

Speaks Today series and co-author with Steve Timmis of The
