      Why only some chapter summaries? For example, the book of Ecclesiastes only has summaries for only some chapters', only about half. Same with psalms. Is it just me? We know the summaries exist for all chapters, why were they left out of the Book?

    THE OLD TESTAMENT

    The story of Israel. God chooses a people to bless the world. He leads them out of Egypt to the promised land. They appoint kings, build the temple, and rebel against God. He sends them into exile and then restores them.

    Timeline

    Key passage

    Genesis 1:1–5a

    In the beginning, when God created the earth and sky, the earth was without form and not yet useful for anything. Deep waters covered the earth, and darkness covered the water. God’s Spirit was moving like a storm over the surface of the water.

    Then God said, ‘Let there be light!’ And light began to shine. He saw the light, and he knew that it was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness. God named the light ‘day’, and he named the darkness ‘night’.

    Something to take away

    The God who made the world has chosen us to be his people. Even when we fall away, he has a plan to make things right.

    Key people

    Moses, Aaron, Pharaoh, Bezalel (the master craftsman), the Israelites.

    Timeline

    Key passage

    Exodus 20:2–6

    ‘I am the LORD your God. I am the one who freed you from the land of Egypt, where you were slaves.

    ‘You must not worship any other gods except me.

    ‘You must not make any idols. Don’t make any statues or pictures of anything up in the sky or of anything on the earth or of anything down in the water. Don’t worship or serve idols of any kind, because I, the LORD, am your God. I hate my people worshipping other gods. People who sin against me become my enemies, and I will punish them. And I will punish their children, their grandchildren, and even their great-grandchildren.

    But I will be very kind to people who love me and obey my commands.

    I will be kind to their families for thousands of generations.’
