In Day by Day, James A. Hopwood presents a straightforward, no-nonsense journey into the Bible that's suitable for personal or small group study. In guiding readers through the big story the Bible tells, the book moves easily from the overall narrative arc to such details as how those ten tribes of Israel got "lost." Not bound by the constraints of pop religion, the study offers a fresh look at familiar passages and frank evaluations of interpretive issues. It comes in a format that's conducive to one-year study but is easily adapted for other uses. It includes many insightful questions for personal reflection and group discussion. Its purpose, following Richard of Chichester and a memorable pop song and church hymn, is to help readers to see Christ more clearly, love Christ more dearly, and follow Christ more nearly, day by day.
