About this ebook

The key to a confident faith is a proper understanding of God's nature and character. If you have a hard time trusting in Him, or the questions of skeptics have you stumped, The Storyteller Paradigm is for you. It uses a powerful analogy to change how you view God so your faith will grow. You'll be able to answer difficult questions such as:

Why would a good God allow evil and suffering?

How can miracles be possible?

How could God make everything out of nothing?

Why did God create everything?

How can I understand God's infinite nature?

Can God create a rock too heavy for Him to lift?

How could Jesus be in two places at once (John 3:13)?

How can we know we're not here by random chance?

How can we have free will if God is in complete control of everything?

How can the Bible be without error if it was written down by imperfect men?

The Storyteller Paradigm makes theological and apologetic concepts easier to understand and more intuitive.

Additionally, The Storyteller Paradigm provides deeper insight into the analogies Jesus used in ten of His parables. It also shows how analogies can be used to explain what the Bible says about such things as repentance, the believer's union with Christ, and the problem of evil.
