What would it be like for modern listeners to sit down beside Jesus as he explained the Bible to them? What life-changing insights might emerge from such a transformative encounter?
Lois Tverberg knows the treasures that await listeners willing to learn how to see the Bible through Jewish eyes. By helping them understand the Bible as Jesus and his first-century listeners would have, she bridges the gaps of time and culture in order to open the Bible to listeners today.
Combining careful research with engaging prose, Tverberg leads us on a journey back in time to shed light on how this Middle Eastern people approached life, God, and each other. She explains age-old imagery that we often misinterpret, allowing us to approach God and the stories and teachings of Scripture with new eyes. By helping listeners grasp the perspective of its original audience, she equips them to hear the Bible in ways that will enrich their lives and deepen their understanding.

Jo Saxton
Read by: The Author
Let’s be honest: the life you’re leading isn’t the one you’ve always dreamt of. And maybe the person you’ve become isn’t who you imagined you’d be. Sure, you can work longer, love harder, and eat better. You can scrub the surface of your life until it gleams. But that won’t address the fact that you’ve somehow lost sight of who you really are.
Working from the core message of Ephesians 1:11, Jo Saxton implores women to reject mistaken identities. Relying on personal stories from her own life, she identifies key scenarios where identities develop that are not true to God’s vision, demonstrating the importance of knowing one’s name, embracing the gifts you’ve been given, confronting body issues, managing seasons of depression and grief, and letting go of perfectionism.
Through Biblical examination of texts where identities are in question or being developed, she invites listeners to accept being seen and known by a loving God – and to allow their broken stories to become redemptive ones.
