Hitchhiking with Prophets

A Ride Through the Salvation Story of the Old Testament

By: Chad Bird

Narrated by: Chad Bird

The Bible is not some dusty textbook, but a veritable circus of humanity, with high-soaring saints, back-talking donkeys, left-handed kingslayers, and all the glory and gore you can fit inside the big top of this biblical tent.

And everywhere in this story is God who, in his wild and passionate love for humanity, is shepherding history toward the birth and ministry of Jesus the Messiah.

Do you already have a good grasp of the Old Testament? Wonderful. This book will be an enjoyable review. Do you not know the difference between the Bible and The Hobbit? Also fine. This book will be a helpful map into unknown territory.

By the time we're done, you won't know all the ins and outs of the story, but you will have a strong grasp of the major movers and shakers. We will sit shotgun with patriarchs and prophets. Each one will take us a little farther down the Old Testament road until we get to the goal: to Jesus, the one in whom the whole story finds fulfillment and meaning.

"An enjoyable ride"

I'm halfway through my hitchhike with Chad Bird. it's great to have him as a tour guide because some of these prophets scare me : ) we just got picked up by Moses in Exodus.

This trip through the old testament is one I would recommend for everyone. I thought I had the realistate of the old testament well layed out in my mind, but even in Chad's consice survey I am picking up a lot of details I missed. What he has attempted in this I haven't seen done before. A complete survey of the Old Testament told in a narrative that pulls you from one scene to the next with ease. From flawed character to flawed character he weaves a cord of grace and redemption through some savage scenes and like every good tour guide reminds those with him of the destination (Jesus) around every corner.

This is a great read for anyone, but if you know someone who stays away from the old testament because of all the "potholes" this would be a great read (listen) for them.

thanks Chad for bringing these old testament stories to life for us.

Very perceptive of the key elements that pointed in the Old Testament to Messiah Jesus

Too short, it was sad to finally reach the end. I hope next book is longer than 4 hours

Concise yet strong.

Great humor and good quick overview of the prophets. Could use more indepth second half of book, first half much stronger. Makes reader want to dig deeper.

The Old Testament is about Jesus

Chad Bird does a great job retelling the story of the Old Testament in a way that is accessible and easy to listen to. Not only does he share personal stories and helpful analogies, but he does so in a down to earth way that makes it easy to follow and understand. While doing so he reveals the great depth of the Old Testament story inviting the reader to learn something new and encouraging the reader to dive into more studies later. Above all Chad’s book always points us to Christ and he demonstrates convincingly that the Old Testament is about Jesus the Messiah, and his great love for you and me.

Great Ride!

Another enjoyable book by Chad Bird and best when he is the narrator. Thanks you!
