NavPress to release engaging new Bible Study series, stitching together faith through the Bible, a literary masterpiece

Carol Stream, Ill. (October 13, 2022) NavPress will release the first two installments in the Storyline Bible Study series by Kat Armstrong in January 2023. The first two offerings in the series are titled Mountains and Valleys.

These studies guide readers through the storyline of Scripture—each following specific people, places, or things in the Bible. People may be practiced in dissecting a passage or verse and pulling things out of the text to apply to their lives, but this can sometimes cause it to feel like their faith is fragmented.

The Storyline Bible Studies will help readers put things back together in the broader context of the Bible. Through this series, readers will discover cohesive, thematic storylines with literary elements and appreciate the Bible as the literary masterpiece that it is.

Each study is five lessons long and can be paired with its thematic partner for a seamless ten-week study to fit in a church semester. Every study features

  • gospel presentation at the beginning of each Bible study;
  • full Scripture passages included in the study so that you can mark up the text and keep your notes in one place;
  • insights from diverse scholars, authors, and Bible teachers; and
  • free resources for preaching and leading small groups.

Mountains
In the ancient, symbol-driven world of the Bible, location didn’t just matter—it had meaning. The Mountains Bible study will guide you through five mountaintop Bible stories because mountains are holy ground for connecting with God.

Valleys
Valleys in the Bible have far more meaning than just as geographical markers or pins on an ancient map. In his literary genius, God repurposes valley settings throughout Scripture to signal tests of faith––and the deepening of confidence in the One who is with us in the valley.

Mountains | ISBN: 978-1-64158-580-4 | Softcover: $16.99 | January 17, 2023
Valleys | ISBN: 978-1-64158-584-2 | Softcover: $16.99 | January 17, 2023
