A New Way of Looking at Rainbows...

Our Covenant God, by Kay Arthur (WaterBrook Press, 1999, $19.95)

For anyone unfamiliar with the nature and importance of covenants in the Scriptures, this is a great place to start. In this highly-readable book, Kay Arthur explores what the covenants of the Bible mean to the New Testament (i.e. New Covenant) believers.

Some may think that covenantology is the same as covenant theology - not so. Covenant is a highly personal and relevant topic for our day. Issues such the meaning of marriage, divine grace and retribution, and the permanence of salvation are difficult - if not impossible - to understand without a knowledge of covenant. In fact, the reader could almost wish that a little more in-depth exploration of the meaning and implications of covenant was contained in this book. Nevertheless, this book serves as an enjoyable introduction to the topic.
