Even Better Than Eden: Nine Ways the Bible's Story Changes Everything About Your Story by Nancy Guthrie

Book Description:

Sometimes the Bible's story is summarized as creation, fall, redemption, restoration. But the future is not headed toward merely a restoration of Eden's goodness. From the very beginning, the Bible's story has always been headed toward consummation, toward glory.

This book traces nine themes-the tree of life, garden and wilderness, the image of God, clothing, Sabbath rest, marriage, the offspring, the temple, and the city of Jerusalem-throughout the Bible, revealing how God's plan for the new creation will be far more glorious than the original.
