When Anne Robertson asked a bunch of people on the street what came to mind when they heard the word Bible, she was met with a flood of mixed responses, including "wisdom," "truth," and "love", but also such words as "myth," "lies," "bigotry," and "poison." What she realized was that we all read the Bible through filtered lenses, according to our varied expectations of what the Bible is or should be. But, as Robertson shows here, the Bible as a whole is primarily God's story--a story of relationship, community, and love. Robertson's New Vision for an Old Story gives readers the right lenses to see beyond the printed page to the God who encounters us in dynamic relationship and transforms our lives. The very nature and message of Scripture are rooted in incarnation. When we need to navigate community, truth, fear, and suffering, the Bible-- God's own story--can guide us through it all.

His words came at me like a speeding fist, like a sucker punch, yet somehow in that moment I was able to duck. And once I recovered and composed myself, I managed to say, I don't buy it. Because I didn't. He drew back in surprise. Apparently he'd expected me to burst into tears, to rage at him, to threaten him with a custody battle. Or beg him to change his mind ...I really wanted to fight. to rage. To cry. But I didn't. Instead, a shroud of calm enveloped me ...You see, I'd recently committed to a non-negotiable understanding with myself. I'd committed to The End of Suffering. I'd decided to take responsibility for my own happiness. And I mean all of it.' When Laura Munson's essay about how she dealt with this heartbreaking pronouncement from her husband of 20 years appeared in The New York Times it created a firestorm. The No.1 read, emailed and searched story of the day forced the Times to shut down their comments site.Readers sent it to their friends, therapists gave it to patients, ministers read it to congregations, women everywhere argued about it. Her website went from 4 readers to 4000 in a day, then 1500 a day a week later. This is the memoir that spawned the column. Raw, searingly honest, poignant, funny and often enraging, this powerful and timely story is the one book every woman should read this year.
