Synopsis

This dramatic retelling of the gospel illuminates the unique role we can play in the amazing story God is telling.Sure, good things happen, sometimes beautiful things. But tragic things happen too. What does it mean? We find ourselves in the middle of a story that is sometimes wonderful, sometimes awful, usually a confusing mixture of both, and we haven’t a clue how to make sense of it all. No wonder we keep losing heart.We need to know the rest of the story.For when we were born, we were born into the midst of a great story begun before the dawn of time. A story of adventure, of risk and loss, heroism . . . and betrayal. A story where good is warring against evil, danger lurks around every corner, and glorious deeds wait to be done. Think of all those stories you’ve ever loved. There’s a reason they stirred your heart. They’ve been trying to tell you about the true Epic ever since you were young.There is a larger story and you have a crucial role to play.

Admittedly, I keep picking up really short books so I can round out the number of books I read this year to a pretty number. But this one was Lowkey a heavy hitter which I #wasn’texpecting but it wasn’t too much where I wanted to pull my hair out. Easy, with the perfect amount of density. #luvvvv #h......more

As someone who enjoys acting, I really enjoyed the different way he told the gospel. He separated it into 4 Acts and in these he has many references to scriptures, books, and movies.
