Leviticus - The Book of Holy Nearness

Book 3 of the Telling God's Story Series

After delivering Israel from slavery and establishing His covenant at Mount Sinai, God begins to teach His people how to live in His presence.

In Leviticus - The Book of Holy Nearness, the third volume of the Telling God's Story series, the focus turns to worship, holiness, and the sacred relationship between God and His people. Through sacrifices, offerings, and the work of the priests, the Lord provides a way for a sinful people to approach Him and remain in fellowship with Him.

Leviticus explains the purpose behind the sacrificial system, the calling of the priesthood, and the laws that set Israel apart as a holy nation. These instructions were not merely rules, but reminders that the God who rescued Israel also desired to dwell among them.

Retold in clear narrative form, this book walks through the events and teachings of Leviticus chapter by chapter, helping readers understand how the sacrifices, festivals, and laws of Israel pointed toward something greater still to come.

Through these sacred practices, the story of redemption continues to unfold, revealing a God who is both holy and merciful, and who provides a way for His people to draw near.
