In a world addicted to headlines and sound bites, where technology has taught us how to say more with less —Jarrett Stevens, a popular pastor and speaker, helps readers understand the deep meaning of their own story, written within the Story of God. And all in just Four Small Words.
When it comes to a story as theologically thick and rich with history, metaphor, and meaning, as the Bible, the thought of trying to understand or communicate that story can be overwhelming. However, Stevens believes the essence of the Story of God can be understood, applied, and shared in just four small words.
Of. Between. With. In.
Using a simple, fresh, and memorable approach to the good news of God’s story, Four Small Words not only gives us a better framework for the Bible, but for our everyday lives. Seeing God’s big story through these small words allows it to sink deeper into our own lives and to be shared with others in a way that is more memorable and less intimidating.
I've been waiting for this book for a long time. Jarrett Stevens does more with four words than most people are able to accomplish with an entire book. My four words are simple, 'Buy this book today!' * —JON ACUFF, New York Times Bestselling Author of Do Over: Rescue Monday, Reinvent Your Work, and Never Get Stuck *
Jarret is both a longtime friend and terrific communicator. Blessed is the reader who can sit at his feet. * —JOHN ORTBERG, Senior Pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in California and Author of All the Places to Go *
There are so many different tools and thoughts on how to understand Scripture better. However, the combination of Jarrett’s storytelling and knowledge on how to study the Bible is such a refreshing take on a crucial skill. Everyone should read this important work. * —TYLER REAGIN, Executive Director of Catalyst, A Community of Change Makers *
Years ago, Jarrett and I worked together, which meant I was lucky enough to hear him teach hundreds of times. His teaching made complicated things simple, and his love for God’s word was contagious. I’m so happy to report that this book captures the very best of his teaching---that same ability to distill easily tangled concepts into clear and meaningful insights, and that spirit of warmth and invitation. * —SHAUNA NIEQUIST, Author of Bread & Wine; Bittersweet; and Cold Tangerines *
