Do you find the Old Testament difficult to read and understand? Many people try to slog through the laws, begats, and religiopolitical wars, only to jump to the New Testament for content that feels relatable—or they give up reading the Bible altogether.

Yet the Old Testament features heroes and villains who left their mark on Scripture. All of them, men and women, were very different from each other, and the Bible writers, prophets, and poets carefully preserved their stories for our benefit. Some were ordinary, others heroic, and a few embarrassing. What lessons apply to us today? What can we learn from them?

  • Discover fearless faith with Ruth, Deborah, and Esther.
  • Take a closer look at King David, who tried too hard.
  • Cling to faith with Jeremiah when God hides His face.
  • Embrace the faith of mothers with Hannah and her “sisters.”
  • And many more!

Look again at these stories, and rediscover the timeless lessons and enduring faith of our spiritual ancestors. Through the mistakes and successes of these early believers, draw wisdom and inspiration to navigate your own journey with God.
