Reading the Bible Missing the Gospel

Recovering from (Shockingly Common) Ways We Get the Bible Wrong in Our Everyday Lives

The story of redemption brings clarity and color to the whole Bible! Jesus often communicated to the religious leaders and His disciples: Somewhere along the way your hearts and thoughts got confused, lost, way off track. Would He have that same assessment of us today? In Reading the Bible, Missing the Gospel, pastor and author Ben Connelly shows us how to recover God's original teachings and intentions in light of the story of redemption. Connelly helps us celebrate and understand how Jesus' life, death, and resurrection are truly good news for the tangible situations in our everyday lives. He invites Christians to see themes and teachings with new eyes--or, rather, with old eyes--on topics like confession, forgiveness, and what it means to be blessed or happy. Readers are given a gospel-focused lens that addresses our common frustrations and helps us see with renewed hope, clarity, and courage.
