The God the Deliverer: Audio Bible Studies: Our Search for Identity and Our Hope for Renewal

The Bible Study Source series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, God the Deliverer includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover this important Bible-based topic. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching.

God goes to great lengths to rescue lost and hurting people. In this 8-session video Bible study, enter the unfolding progression of the Old Testament and the advancement of God's complex plan to deliver his people.

Deliverance is what the story of the Bible is all about. But throughout the Bible, there are two parallel dramas unfolding:


- The lower story, which describes the events from our human perspective.
- The upper story, which reveals how the events unfold from God's perspective.

The goal of the God the Deliverer Bible study is to introduce you to these lower and upper stories as told in the Old Testament books of 1 Samuel through Malachi and the thread of deliverance that weaves through them both. As you read these narratives—featuring characters such as Samuel, Saul, David, Jeremiah, Daniel, Esther, Ezra, and Nehemiah—you will see how God has been weaving our lower story into the greater upper story that he has been writing.

This all-new audio study, adapted from content featured in The Story church-wide campaign, will introduce group members to the Upper Story and Lower Story as revealed in the books of 1 Samuel through Malachi. The curriculum also includes an updated study guide with new content and questions adapted from The Story Study Guide, The Heart of the Story, and Exploring the Story by Randy Frazee.
