Discover the Big Picture of God’s Plan for Humanity in Scripture.

For many Catholics, the Bible feels confusing, overwhelming, and disconnected. With dozens of books, unfamiliar names, and seemingly random events, it's hard to know where to start—or how to make sense of it all.

The Story of Salvation walks Catholics through the 70 key events of The Bible Timeline® Learning System, a color-coded approach developed by biblical scholar Jeff Cavins to reveal the overarching narrative of Scripture. These key events are like mile markers on a journey, helping you understand where the story is going, why it matters, and how each part contributes to God’s loving plan for humanity—a story that includes you.

Whether you’re new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this guide will:

Summarize each key event and its significance

Highlight where the full story can be found in Scripture

Help you understand how the entire Bible fits together

Build a foundation for a lifetime of reading and understanding God’s Word

By following this clear and chronological path, you’ll begin to see the Bible not as a confusing set of ancient texts, but as one unified story of salvation. And once you understand the overarching story, the rest of Scripture will finally start to make sense.

This book is your roadmap to understanding the “big picture” of the Bible—and your place within it. Let this be your starting point for a lifelong relationship with God in his Sacred Word.

Better Understanding

With this I've been able to better understand the Bilbe as a narrative. Its a the beautiful timeliness that God takes with us to reach out and bring us into relationship with him. Through God's words and deeds throughout history and our lives. With that I understand His faithfulness and love for humanity and me uniquely.

The Story of Salvation

A simple and concise summary that highlights key events in the bible without overwhelming me. It’s a treasure to me.

Sacred Footnotes

Am I allowed to call this Biblical Footnotes? This is great! Informative and precise!

Great book

Summarizes a lot of the Bible events. A must have.

A great reinforcement tool

After completing the Bible in a Year program (more like a Bible in Two Years for me...), I needed a refresher to bring back into focus what I'd read/listened to. While there were many more insights in the Bible in a Year program, the Story of Salvation booklet brings back to me much of what I'd experienced in the earlier effort. I'm using it as a "once every day" refresher, and I'm really enjoying it as a Lenten commitment. Each experience deepens my understanding of God's Word. I highly recommend this booklet. Thank you, Ascension!

The Story of Salvation

A wonderful book that can be read all at once or spread out in a daily fashion. It provides an overview of the bible, which is exactly what we are covering this year in school so a great compliment to our curriculum.
