Angie will take you on a narrative journey through the Bible and she will bring together both the Old and New Testament right before your eyes. Angie has a gift for telling a story so that you actually feel as it is happening "right before your eyes" and it is one of her best gifts! Prepare to laugh, shed a tear, and be amazed as you go on this amazing of the world's most amazing story ever told. Most importantly. you will feel as if you are sharing a cup of coffee with your best friend, all the while you will be somehow be growing in your own personal relationship with God. Enjoy!!!

After doing the Seamless Bible study, I fell in love with Angie Smith and her writing. I was so excited to read Woven and it did not disappoint. Setup in a chapter book form, it feels like you’re sitting over coffee listening to a friend talk about the Bible. Angie connected stories and cleared up timelines that I had been curious about in a beautiful way that didn’t feel overwhelming. At many points, I pulled out my Bible to reread chapters and books that I had previously just skimmed. This book is for everyone whether you’ve read your Bible cover to cover or you’ve never really read it at all. Not related to the context, but the cover of the book is beautiful.

Woven is the perfect place to obtain a deeper understanding of the Bible. Whether you're a brand new learner or a long time reader there is something for you in here. Angie is a phenomenal teller of Bible stories. Doing so in a way that will captivate and entertain. It is the perfect book for private personal study or a group study.

I have every book of Angie Smith's on my shelf. She has a way of drawing the reader into her own story immediately. Her transparency and honesty flow through the pages of every one of her books and this new book - Woven, is no exception. As a long time Christian it is hard to admit that I have never read the Bible from cover to cover. I started a new plan this past January that will change that and this book couldn't have come at a better time! If you have ever felt intimidated by the Bible (raises hand) then this book is for you. If you have ever thought that you have too many questions or too many doubts (raises hand again) then this book is for you. Angie has had those too and she uses the pages of Woven to walk you through some of those common, and not so familiar stories to show you how they are all connected. How this God of the universe has been drawing us towards Him for all time. I have purchased several copies already to give as gifts to my friends and family. You don't have to fully understand the Bible to read this book. But when you do, you will start to have those "ah-ha" moments and those pages that once seemed daunting will suddenly come alive! Get this book today!

Run, don’t walk, to get your copy of Angie Smith’s newest release, Woven. Whether you’re new to the Bible or well versed, this read will take you on a journey like no other. For the new believer, this book will be such a helpmate for you. Angie lays it all out: timelines, maps, connections, relationships, and order. She’s done so much work to eliminate stress for you when taking on the Bible. Not only does she teach the truth, but she does it in a such a way that you never feel bogged down with information. Instead, you feel like you’re making a friend…the kind of friend that makes your snort with laughter at her snarky side notes, while absorbing all this amazing insight into Scripture. Taking on Scripture with a big picture view will make such a difference. For those well versed in the Bible, this is still a read that will not disappoint. I was constantly at awe at the new information I found in each chapter. Admittedly, I struggle connecting different books together and seeing the bigger picture in some of the smaller books. I so admire someone who can not only make those connections, but make practiced believers feel at awe at the insights shared. Insights that I’ve missed in my many visits in the word. I also find it a bonus that these amazing revelations are peppered with self-deprecating humor that will keep you laughing and highlighting like crazy. I have long been a Christ follower; however, I was continually amazed at the new (dare I say) threads Angie brought into focus. Angie writes about many stories from the bible, but her theme remains the same: This is God’s story. A story that He has lovingly woven His Son into throughout. Even more, our names will be forever woven into this story…because of Christ and His never-ending love for us.

Wow. All I can say is wow! This was amazing. I learned so many new things from this book, even after doing the Seamless and Matchless studies. And what I loved the most, is that it’s a great book for new and old believers alike. Highly, highly recommend!!
