The God Who Is There

I will listen to this one again

This book is insightful and thought provoking. It is a book worthy of my resources of time and money. It is very interesting and beneficial to listen to. Also it was excellently narrated. I'm very selective and discerning so this short review is saying a lot.

Great intro to the biblical storyline

D.A. Carson, as one might expect, does a wonderful job of both presenting the storyline of the Bible as a whole, but also doing so in a winsome and thoroughly understandable manner. This book is for both those who want a clear outline of the Bible, but also for those who are curious about what the Bible is all about.

Awesome read

This an evangelistic book that will give the unrepentant sinner a terrific understanding of the God who desires to save and is here. This book as well has been a wonderful refresher course concerning the magnitude of the God who has saved.

Excellent overview of the Bible and theology

This book has something for everyone. I originally bought this book for my high school son to listen to and get an overview of the biblical basics. I decided to listen first to see how the whole thing was expecting to not hear a lot of new things but just a different voice on established theologies and ideas. I did hear that but it was done in such a deep yet simple way that I found new insights to ponder. The elegant connections that D.A. Carson has put together of themes and Old and New Testament stories while lining out the character of God was brilliant and lovely. The narrator was easy to listen to and had a soothing voice. This will be in my re-listen pile.

A great resource!!!

This book is a great resource for all believers- but specially for those who are new in the faith - and desire to know more about the central themes in the Bible. the Author seeks to present an accurate summation of the main theme of scripture and its development in History- God ,Christ and the Holy Spirit are presented with the utmost reverence and respect.

God’s Plan from Genesis to Revelation

The author has written a clear yet profound exposition of the whole Bible. He sees the OT and NT as one continuous story of God’s plan of redemption for fallen humanity—the Redeemer promised in the Old and the Redeemer who came in the New. The Gospel is proclaimed throughout. The ultimate goal of history is the glory of God. All comes together in Revelation where the redeemed creation enjoys God forever in the New Heaven and New Earth. This is a valuable resource for both new and mature believers. I really appreciated the narrator. His deep voice was very pleasing. His reading style kept me focused.

Wonderful Book! Outstanding!

What a great survey of Biblical teaching and a coincise, yet thorough theological introduction. I would certainly recommend to new Christians - and more seasoned ones would definitely benefit from Wilson's teaching.

Like reading a text book

Listening to this book took me back to sitting in a collage lecture. You are listening to someone give their idea of what something means with no emotion at all and some of the interpretations seemed hard to swallow even if he did talk like he believed any of it.
