Seamless: Understanding the Bible as One Complete Story
Rating: 5 of 5 stars
Seamless: Understanding the Bible as One Complete Story by Angie Smith is the fifth book I've read and studied with the Proverbs 31 Online Bible Studies ministry. I truly value this organization and the resources it offers through their website, social media, and FirstFive app. I purchased this book through the Proverbs 31 website because a portion of the sales goes back into the ministry of spreading the gospel, which is what God has commanded Christians to do.
In all the ways I've engaged with Proverbs 31 over the years, this has, by far, been my favorite study. Angie Smith is just your Christian girl next door who loves the Lord and His people. She's taken the Bible, which can appear daunting to some, synthesized it and presented it in such a way that it is easily digestible for anyone. Developing a relationship with God must include reading His Word, and the author has helped readers with this tool.
The book is easy to read and flows very well. It includes worksheet pages to help the reader retain the content. I really appreciated the timeline map at the back of the book. It highlights key milestones in the greatest story every told. This book is not only a retelling of the Bible but a resource that can be used over and over again. I am thankful for Smith's insight, her vulnerability, and her transparency. The Bible can and is for everyone, and she does a lovely job sharing her perspective with Seamless.

Regardless of whether I purchase a book, borrow a book, or receive a book in exchange for review, my ultimate goal is to be honest, fair, and constructive. I hope you've found this review helpful.
I need to check out something like this. The bible seems overwhelming some days especially the language.
ReplyDeleteI am certain you would get something out of it. So much information packed into a little book but not too overwhelming.
