The God who is present

Most people (even most Christians) do not have a basic knowledge of the Bible. How can we understand God's story and our place in it if we don't know it well? In this basic introduction to faith, Donald Carson guides you through the grand story of Scripture to help you know what you believe and why you believe it.

“We all need this book. Donald Carson is one of the few scholars who writes simply and captivatingly. He is a master at explaining Scripture so that a person who has never opened a Bible can understand it. At the same time, those who grew up with biblical teachings will discover clear and valuable truths that will lead them to worship and appreciate the God we serve more.” – Francis Chan, author of Crazy Love

“This is a unique and important book in many ways. As a ministry tool, it can be used for evangelism due to the comprehensive way it illustrates the doctrine of God. It also offers, in the same style as catechisms during the Reformation, a basic and biblical foundation regarding belief and behavior. Either way, get this book!” – Timothy Keller, author of Encounters with Jesus

“This may be the most impactful book Donald Carson has written… It is the best book of its kind I have read in many years.” – David J. Jackman, author of Opening the Bible
