MORE PEOPLE TO LOVE is about The Big Story of the Bible. It's about God's plan, as revealed from Genesis to Revelation, to make [his] name great among the nations (Malachi 1:11). At times, our lives can be very difficult. But seeing our lives in light of The Big Story-the beautiful story of God's unfolding plan of redemption-gives us the perspective we need to carry on with joy and purpose.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
By puddle-jumping through the biblical storyline, from a garden to a city by way of a cross, Abbott and Vrbicek give us gospel-filled glimpses of God's gracious purpose to redeem a multi-national people for himself. This book inspires us to enter that story and to love those people!
- Bill Kynes, Pastor, Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church, Annandale, Virginia
A wonderful guide to the Bible's story and what it means for us to live in it and love others as God has intended. Read, learn, and discover how God is calling you to be a part of the story.
- Chris Bruno, Author of The Whole Message of the Bible in 16 Words (2017) and The Whole Story of the Bible in 16 Verses (2015)
There is a beautiful freedom in connecting our small stories to The Big Story we find in Scripture. Abbott and Vrbicek help us make that connection and then lead us to see the joy in our gospel-fueled purpose to love the people God brings into our lives. Hope-filled, humorous, and packed with Scripture, it's an encouraging, impactful read.
- Catherine Parks, Author of A Christ-Centered Wedding (2014)
Benjamin and Jason provide a biblical and pastoral vision for understanding the world and our place in it. More People to Love is a big picture, big God, big gospel, kind of book. Read it for encouragement and edification. Read it to be reminded of the big story of the Bible that upends world orders, directs history, and transforms lives.
- Dan DeWitt, Director of the Center for Biblical Apologetics and Public Christianity at Cedarville University; Author of Christ or Chaos (2016), Jesus or Nothing (2014)
Highlighting themes from seven key biblical texts, Benjamin and Jason show how the whole Bible hangs together, most fundamentally, as a story-an unfolding, unified narrative of God's plan to redeem his fallen creation. This book will help you see the big picture of Christianity-and how that picture shapes everything about our lives in the here and now.
- Gavin Ortlund, Associate Pastor, Sierra Madre Congregational Church, Sierra Madre, California; Blogger at GavinOrtlund.com
Jason and Benjamin give a stirring tour of God's story, showing how the Bible is the story of our God who is slow to anger, rich in mercy, and abounding in faithful love for sinners in every corner of the globe. God's gospel is an invitation for more people to be loved by God. And so is this book.
- J.A. Medders, Lead Pastor, Redeemer Church, Tomball, Texas; Author of Rooted (2016) and Gospel Formed (2014)
In More People to Love, Pastors Abbott and Vrbicek nudge us to abound in love for others because of God's big plan for the world. I was both joyfully reminded of my part to play in God's grand story and challenged to think beyond myself.
- Matthew C. Mitchell, Pastor of Lanse Evangelical Free Church, Lanse, Pennsylvania; Author of Resisting Gossip: Winning the War of the Wagging Tongue (2013)
