Many of us know some Bible stories, but very few of us know the story of the Bible. Do you know how the Bible came to be? In this 5-day reading plan, Andy Stanley explores the story of how we got the Bible and how it sheds light on and gives us insight into the stories in the Bible.

In this hustling, image-forward age of opportunity, we feel more anxious than ever.

Life can leave us feeling alone, wounded, or weary. But the story of Scripture reminds us that even in our lowest moments, we are not abandoned—we are held. In this 5-day journey, teacher and author Scott Sauls gently guides us through how Jesus meets us in our loneliness, holds us with kindness, walks with us through hurt, and gives us strength in weakness. You’re not forgotten. You’re held.
