Scarlet and White | by Chris J. Marley

Reading through it for this first time, I discovered within Marley’s book a kindred spirit, a brother in Christ, an able theologian, and gracious pastor who aimed at nothing less than drawing Christians into sweeter joy and comfort in contemplation of what God had accomplished in the storyline of the Bible. From Old Testament to New Testament, and through to the present day, Chris illuminates the ways in which the gospel story is the story of God redeeming sinners to create a Bride for Himself. It regularly brought a smile to my face and warmed my heart as Chris led me along the scarlet tapestry woven throughout Scripture, continually pointing me to Christ’s plan to secure His Bride through His own blood.
