Synopsis


BASED ON THE EPIC MINISERIES TO AIR SPRING 2013.

A STORY OF GOD AND ALL OF US is a sweeping narrative that dramatizes some of the most important events and characters in the Bible. The book reads like a fine novel, dramatizing the sweep of biblical events, making the men and women of scripture come alive in vivid detail and dialogue. All are historically and theologically accurate. A ten-hour miniseries on the History Channel will be based on the story, and the script has been reviewed by a number of Christian church leaders and seminarians for authenticity. The book will be released one month prior to the debut of the television series. Many prominent biblical characters will be dramatized in the story: Moses, David, Daniel, John the Baptist and of course, Jesus. The book will reveal the prophetic significance of the empires that controlled Israel: (Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians and Romans) and how these figured into biblical prophecy, especially concerning the Messiah.

Goodreads review by Michael on May 23, 2014

It seems many bible stories are geared for very young children and too simplistic or they end up way too long and convoluted.

Goodreads review by Katie on May 18, 2017

I liked that this book made things simple for me to understand and because of that, it made some things actually clear to me that I never even realized before. Obviously it is not a Bible replacement and the stories are not necessarily in 100% full detail. Great story though.......more

Quick read for middle grade readers about key characters in the Bible. Straightforward. I wish the storytelling was more engaging. Not sure it has what it takes to compel the average reader. It's divided up into 10 parts, which I assume parallels the 10 miniseries episodes. They are as follows: Part......more
