Recipient of the 2024 Inscriptions Christian Book Awards — Christian Non-FictionInscriptions Book Review:
"This is a uniquely written attempt to simplify reading the Bible. The Road Back Home does not encompass the whole Bible, but simplifies it into 3 plans God has for humans. Intended for any reader from believers to non-believers and hard-core Christians, this book will bring old information to your mind in a new way. This handy tool accompanies the Bible to keep the reader from missing the entire point of each book. Interesting read." |

Another book review from our friend Dean Yankovich in Lincoln, MT
A word about your book, “Road Back Home”. I so appreciate the structure of your book and how it is so well written. I do like your stepping stone approach with the key elements of God’s initial plan and how His plan will not be defeated but instead carried out to restore His kingdom as it was in the beginning. Many sections I find myself re-reading (especially sin). The interrelating parts to God’s plan provides a view I have not strung together in the same way before. My vision has been compromised and allows me only to read for about an hour, which works out well because it allows me to meditate on what I have read. I am three quarters the way through at this point, but must say that I am appreciating this fine work and will use it often in the future.
We're always looking for good feedback, so please feel free to add a comment or review of The Road Back Home here. If there's a topic of the book you would like to have us discuss in greater detail on The Big Picture (our podcast program), please indicate that in your comment and we'll see what we can do.
Back Cover Description
Do you desire to know and experience God's exhilarating journey for creation? The Bible reveals God's magnificent plans for his dominion and most valued treasure, mankind. However, because of its many complexities, most miss the big picture of Scripture, focusing on obscure doctrinal details, and consequently are confused about their own role and God's purposes. This book was written as a tool to assist in overcoming these difficulties by presenting the structure of the Bible through analyzing three fundamental plans of God--his original plan for mankind, which was corrupted by sin, his salvation plan that triumphed over sin, and his restoration plan that is steadily returning creation to its genesis. By first accurately examining and gaining a solid grasp of the flow of Scripture through these plans prior to delving into its many doctrinal details, one can far more effectively comprehend its essential message and the intentions of God's heart toward his people. This book's intended audience is not merely new believers in Christ, but also those who have been Christians for many years without yet obtaining a firm proficiency of God's comprehensive message, necessary for healthy growth and fruitfulness. Come, then, and experience the epic revelation of God's heart.
Endorsements
“‘Can’t see the forest for the trees’ is far too common when it comes to biblical studies. That’s why The Road Back Home by Joseph and Karyn Cavon is so valuable. This book gives an excellent survey and overview of God’s plan, as revealed in Genesis through Revelation. Your journey through this book will thrill your heart as you grasp God’s eternal purposes.”
—Bryan Hughes, senior pastor, Grace Bible Church
“It is with much joy that I endorse Joe and Karyn Cavon’s new work, The Road Back Home. After forty-five years of pastoral ministry, I appreciate how they kept the Scriptures at the forefront of everything they wrote. While current theological thinking is tickling people’s ears with untruth concerning salvation and the future, Joe and Karyn have remained faithful to long-held doctrines concerning God’s provision for salvation and the future.”
—Arlen Tofslie, associate pastor, Dry Creek Bible Church
“In this work, Joe and Karyn Cavon have captured God’s heart for unfolding God’s own character toward his creation. God’s plan, and especially God’s love, are seen on every page of Scripture. Unfortunately, we often burrow so far into words and phrases that we miss the point of chapters and books. Joe and Karyn draw us back from the microscope to see the beauty of the story in both its simplicity and the profound nature of a God who acts in history on behalf of God’s people.”
