​For GOING DEEPER we have lots of additional resources and recommendations!

Reading through the bible: when we move from story to story, we will chart how far we’ve progressed from week to week through the bible, so if you’d like to read along through the scriptures in between (eg, in the NRSV, or The Message, or some other version of the bible), you can.
 
Bible as novel: For those who would enjoy a more narrative progression through the bible, by Walter Wangerin The Book of God is recommended for adults and The Bible for Children is great for kids 8-12. They are in our library, but you can pick up your own if you’d like to follow along all year at home. 
     
Bible as graphic novel: The Action Bible is a good one for adults or reading kids. There’s one in our library, pick up your own to follow along all year at home.
 
Bible lesson book: For a framing of bible stories with distinct take-aways for today, especially for kids 8-12, Growing in 
God’s Love (written by two former colleagues of Pastor Kara- excellent Presbyterian educators!) is in our church library. Also 
a good resource to have at home for families with younger kids.

Context and background: Check out these helpful books that will set the stage and give historical and theological background to what we are reading, now in our church library:
