Publisher's summary

Instant New York Times Bestseller!

The Bible is full of “love” stories. But the Biblical idea of love is so much bigger than we imagine.

Love is at the heart of the Bible. From the moment Adam declared Eve “flesh of my flesh”…to the sacrificial love of Joseph for Mary…to the deep friendship of David and Jonathan…to the abounding and never-changing love of God: The Bible is a love story. But it also redefines the way the world tells us we should think about love.

The Bible reveals not just butterflies and broken hearts. In Scripture, we see God’s beautiful design for the partnership of marriage. We witness friendships that cross all boundaries. We watch as families navigate the many seasons of life. Our guiding example for them all is the deepest, most abiding, foundational love ever known: God’s unconditional love for His people.

In The Love Stories of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream draws lessons from the good, the bad, and the ugly of Biblical romances, friendships, and families. She shows how God’s love is often very different from ours, turning upside down our assumptions about life, relationships, and each other.

The Love Stories of the Bible Speak reminds us that, no matter where we find ourselves, God’s unwavering love will sustain and guide us. These insights into biblical relationships will uplift and encourage you, and reveal new dimensions to the most central Christian duty: to love God and your neighbor.

Love a good love story!

This book kept my attention all the way through! I love to see the Bible applied to our modern life situations because the Word or God is alive and the book displays that beautifully.

Great book but…

Would have loved to have heard about the friendships earlier in the book…perhaps interspersed or at the beginning. Content was well researched.

Soothing

I listened to this while I made a quilt. I enjoyed it very much. I pray some of it soaked into this quilt. It is for a grieving family who lost their 7 year old son. It is a memory quilt I’ve prayed as I sewed for peace and love to this family.

Shannon's very inspiring with examples of women in the Bible and how the felt with our issues.

Shannon's book is very inspiring on how much more I need to be like Jesus and less like the world!

What a wonderful sharing

Mrs. Bream’s narration was well done. I gained a better understanding of the stories she shared with us. It was like going through a meaningful Bible study. Well worth the credit.
