1 Chronicles
Important stories are worth repeating. Although the story of David is told in 1 and 2 Samuel, the author of 1 Chronicles offers another viewpoint on the life of Israel's greatest king.
1 Kings
Israel experienced its “golden age” of peace and prosperity under King Solomon. But even Israel’s wisest king wasn’t perfect. Read 1 Kings to see what happened to the peace Israel enjoyed because of Solomon’s disobedience to the Lord.
1 Peter
The writer of 1 Peter declares, “Once you were nobody. Now you are God’s people” (2:10). Read this letter to discover the challenges and joys that are in store for people who follow Jesus.
1 Samuel
Exciting stories of Samuel, Saul, and David fill the pages of 1 Samuel. Read how they struggled with themselves, with each other, and with God, and how they transformed Israel from a group of tribes governed by judges to a nation ruled by a king.
1 Timothy
Who gives you advice when you need it? Read this letter to find out what kind of advice Timothy received about being a leader in the church.
2 Chronicles
Remembering a golden age from the past can give people strength and hope even when they are living in exile. Read 2 Chronicles and see how God’s chosen people were encouraged by recalling their faithful leaders from the past.
2 Kings
This book continues the story of those who ruled Israel and Judah. Read 2 Kings to find out which rulers were faithful to God and which were not. And read about a real hero, Elisha the prophet.
2 Peter
Christ Jesus came into the world to be its Savior and to choose a people to call his own. One day he will return to welcome his people into a glorious kingdom that will last forever. Read 2 Peter to see how Christians are to live in the meantime.
2 Samuel
David is remembered as Israel’s most powerful king and as a human being who made some terrible mistakes. Read about his struggles and see how one man’s relationship with God affects the fate of the nation he rules.
2 Timothy
Soldiers are taught to be disciplined and to be prepared for almost anything, including suffering or death. Read this letter to find out why Timothy is told to be a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
