About
Find encouragement for navigating life's doubts, struggles, and disappointments.
These studies guide you through the storyline of Scripture-each following a person, place, or thing in the Bible. Maybe you are practiced in dissecting a passage and pulling things out of the text to apply to your life. But now you may feel as though your faith is fragmented. The Storyline Bible studies help you put the pieces back together. You'll discover cohesive, thematic storylines with literary elements and appreciate God's Word as the masterpiece that it is.
Each Bible study guide is five weeks long and can be paired with its thematic partner for a seamless ten-week study to fit in a church semester. Every study features:
- Gospel presentation at the beginning of each Bible study
- Full Scripture passages included in the study so that you can mark up the text and keep your notes in one place
- Insights from female scholars and scholars of color
- Free resources for preaching and leading small groups
Valleys in the Bible have far more meaning than just as geographical markers or pins on an ancient map. In his literary genius, God repurposes valley settings throughout Scripture to signal tests of faith––and deepening of confidence in the One who is with us in the valley. In Valleys, we're going to explore:
- Numbers 13–14: the Valley of Eshkol, where spies scouted the Promised Land
- Judges 4–5: the Valley of Kishon, where Deborah and Jael defeated the enemy
- 1 Samuel 17: the Valley of Elah, where David fought Goliath
- Psalm 23: the Valley of Death, where God comforts scared people
- Ezekiel 37: the Valley of Dry Bones, where Ezekiel prophesied of Israel's restoration
In this Bible workbook, you will encounter God's goodness and faithful promises as you explore his creation.

Reviews
"Kat Armstrong takes you into the heart of Scripture so that Scripture can grow in your heart. The Storyline Bible Studies have everything: the overarching story of God's redemption, the individual biblical story's historical context, and the text's interpretation that connects with today's realities. Armstrong asks insightful questions that make the Bible come alive and draws authentically on her own faith journey so that readers might deepen their relationship with Jesus. Beautifully written and accessible, the Storyline Bible Studies are a wonderful resource for individual or group study."

"We are watching a new wave of Bible studies that care about the Bible's big story, from Genesis to Revelation; that plunge Bible readers into the depths of human despair and show them the glories of the Kingdom God plans for creation; and that invite readers to participate in that story in all its dimensions-in the mountains and the valleys. Anyone who ponders these Bible studies will come to terms not only with the storyline of the Bible but also with where each of us fits in God's grand narrative. I heartily commend Kat's Storyline Bible Studies."
Rev. Canon Dr. Scot McKnight, professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary
