Watching God Woo the World: An Adult Exploration of God’s Grand Story

Do you wonder how a thick book with thin pages of fine print written centuries ago remains the world's all-time best seller? Matchless stories occupy nearly half the Bible, but you need to know they exist and where to find them. In Watching God Woo the World, author Ruth E. Correll brings the Bible's great story to life through accounts that include both genders. This guidebook features more than seventy selected Bible stories of the all-encompassing human male and female linkages in the family of origin, sexual encounter(s) , and other functional affiliations in the wider community. In the book, they are labeled like this: BLOOD: father, daughter (FD) ; mother, son (MS) ; brother, sister (BS) ; SEX: husband, wife (HW) ; not married (NM) ; or PEERS: peers in the plot (PP) with no blood or sexual ties. These three kinds of bonds flow from the triune God's all-encompassing love that offers a true family identity, ready mercy to heal and to bless, and graceful guidance into a life of good will and service. Correll, who has witnessed Bible stories stir and inspire adults for over fifty years, presents keen insights into the Bible, which gives witness to the character, actions, and purposes of God.
