Book Review: The Story of God and Us — Seeing the Bible as One SEAMLESS Story

Recently, I had the opportunity to receive “The Story of God and Us” by Dr. Jonathan Murphy from @WPublishing, and I must say that this one is a gem. I’m intentionally taking my time with it because it’s not just a book you rush through. It’s a journey through the Bible, “God’s story,” and it beautifully shows the many ways we are included in that story.

From the very first page, you can feel that this book was written with thought, care, and a heart for pointing readers back to Scripture. Dr. Murphy takes you from the beginning of God’s story, through Moses, to Jesus, and then to the end, weaving together the seamless narrative of God’s redemptive plan.

What I’m Loving So Far

There are several details that make this book stand out to me:

✅ The cover design — It features images that represent the timeline of God’s story, a visual that captures the scope of the Bible at a glance.
✅ Thoughtful reflection questions — At the end of the introduction and each chapter, there are questions that encourage you to pause, process, and apply what you’ve read.
✅ Practical journaling space — The blank pages in the back are perfect for jotting down answers to those questions or personal reflections as you read.
✅ The storytelling style — Dr. Murphy writes with clarity and ease, making the big story of the Bible approachable without losing its depth.
✅ A Scripture-centered focus — This isn’t a book based on man-made opinions or self-help theories. It’s grounded in the Word of God, keeping the focus where it should be, on Him.

Why This Book Matters

In a world where numerous voices compete for our attention, I’m grateful for resources like The Story of God and Us. It helps me step away from noise and root myself again in the one true story that matters — God’s. It’s a reminder that His story is not just ancient history; it’s alive, active, and we are a part of it.

If you’re looking for a book to strengthen your understanding of Scripture, help you see the Bible as one continuous story, and inspire you to live in light of it,  this is one I’d recommend adding to your library.
