Description

Crack open a Bible and you're likely to find (a) Guidelines for living (b) Answers to life's deepest questions (c) Endless lists of people you've never heard of (d) An incredible story about a God who offers hope to a messed up world. "Incredible story" isn't always the first thing that comes to mind when you attempt to read through the entire Bible. Maybe you've tried, only to get lost among obscure genealogies and ancient dietary laws. Maybe you don't have a clue where to begin. Christianity is a story about God and the remarkable lengths he goes to in order to rescue lost and hurting people. The Story gives you just that--the story of Scripture. Condensed into 30 accessible chapters, it reads more like a novel than your typical religious text. And like any good story, The Story is filled with intrigue, drama, conflict, romance, and redemption.

A Storybook for Adults Nancy Concord NC

Many people give up on reading all the "begats", etc. and just never get around to reading the whole bible. This book isn't for an indepth bible study, but it certainly has it's place in today's world. Our church is having a chapter a week sermon, bible study classes, even the children's classes are using it and the small groups that meet in homes. There is a video that goes along with it that we use in our small groups. I don't think anyone has a problem with it when they understand it is just selections out of the bible. It certainly is a much easier read for the persons that are seeking.
