What Does God Want of Us Anyway

A Quick Overview of the Whole Bible

By: Mark Dever

Narrated by: John Lescault

This overview of the Bible provides listeners with an aerial view of the landscape of Scripture, scouting the major truths of the promises of God. Originally delivered as sermons by pastor Mark Dever at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., these three studies are now available in one volume. Dever guides listeners to take a step back and look at the Bible from a broader perspective. As we notice new features of an object when viewed from a distance, so too the major themes of Scripture become more apparent when we take in the Bible as a whole.

Part of the IXMarks series, this book considers the central messages of the Bible as seen in the promises of God. Dever examines the general narrative of God's Word to answer the question, "What does God wants of us anyway?" Listeners looking for a panoramic view of Scripture will be reminded of the faithful, persistent love of God and find themselves drawn into a broader, but deeper, understanding of the maker and keeper of promises.

Critic reviews

"Pastor Mark Dever has provided a most unusual book. Instead of teaching his people the usual lessons from the Bible, Dever has taught his people about the Bible so that they can read it effectively for themselves, which is a great idea." (Paige Patterson, President, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary)

Great Discipleship Book

This book will probably end up on my books to read with new believers for discipleship.

Inspiring Explanation of the Bible

Wish I had discovered this book before! I have re listened to a few parts and plan to re-explore more of this Biblical overview. Very hopeful and inspiring; it provided a helpful structure and set of ideas to support my study and understanding of the Bible.
