101 Bible Heroes - Self-Study & Improvement Todd Cotton

101 BIBLE HEROESSelf Study & ImprovementThe writer of Hebrews tells us that if and when we read the word of God, it will illuminate and change us, showing us places where growth and Histouch are needed. These 101 Heroes of the Bible can not only serve as characters to admire from the past, but as motivators and a means to change us and our future, so we too become God's Heroes, following His call and growing in His image. It might be easy to assume that a "Bible Hero" is anyone named in the Bible, but it depends on your definition of a hero. To understand what Bible heroes are, we first need to understand what the Bible is. From the perspective of history and literature, the Bible is a library of books, covering thousands of years of history, written by many different authors from diverse cultures. That is helpful and interesting, but there is more. The Bible is the Word of God: God's revelation of who He is and what He has done. The Divine Author has woven a thread throughout the Book that ties it all together: the Big Hero Story. The Scriptures are a collection of stories that are framed by the Big Story of God's redemption through Jesus Christ. In other words, the small "stories"are not disconnected from each other. They are connected and defined by the Big Hero Story. Open this book and learn more about 101 Bible Heroes and yourself!
