Intentional Word - Volume One - The Old Testament
Understanding God's Design Through Covenant, Wisdom, and Restoration
By Michael Holleman

The Old Testament is more than ancient history, religious law, or disconnected stories passed down through generations.

It is the unfolding foundation of the biblical narrative itself-a sweeping revelation of creation, covenant, wisdom, rebellion, judgment, restoration, and humanity's ongoing relationship with God.

In Intentional Word - The Old Testament, Michael Holleman guides readers through every book of the Old Testament using what he calls the "Intentional Lens," a framework that reveals the recurring biblical patterns of:

alignment and disorder, wisdom and foolishness, transformation and corruption, covenant and separation, and restoration through relationship with God.

Rather than approaching Scripture as fragmented writings isolated from one another, this book explores the Old Testament as one connected story unfolding across generations, kingdoms, prophets, exile periods, and covenant movements.

From Genesis to Malachi, readers will discover how the Old Testament continually points toward:

deeper spiritual understanding, the consequences of human rebellion, the importance of wisdom and discernment, the rise and collapse of nations, the role of covenant, and the prophetic anticipation of redemption still to come.

This immersive volume explores:

Creation and the foundations of humanityAbraham and the covenant lineageMoses, the Exodus, and the formation of IsraelThe Judges and recurring cycles of disorderThe rise of kings, prophets, and divided kingdomsWisdom literature and spiritual formationAssyria, Babylon, exile, and restorationThe prophetic call toward repentance and renewalThe anticipation of the coming Messiah

Written in a reflective and accessible style, Intentional Word - The Old Testament blends biblical exploration, spiritual insight, historical framework, and transformational themes into a cohesive reading experience designed for both new and experienced readers of Scripture.

This is not merely a commentary or academic study.

It is an invitation to see the Old Testament as a living framework revealing timeless truths about:

identity, wisdom, spiritual alignment, leadership, restoration, and humanity's search for meaning and relationship with God.

Whether used for personal study, spiritual growth, discipleship, reflection, or deeper biblical understanding, this volume helps readers move beyond isolated stories into a connected understanding of Scripture's larger design.

The story is not random.

The patterns are not accidental.

And the invitation toward transformation continues throughout every page.
