About this ebook

"The greatest story ever told" is more than just a cliché.

God goes to great lengths to rescue lost and hurting people. That is what The Story is all about: the story of the Bible, God's great love affair with humanity. Condensed into 31 accessible chapters, The Story sweeps you into the unfolding progression of Bible characters and events from Genesis to Revelation. Using the world’s most popular modern-English Bible, the New International Version, it allows the stories, poems, and teachings of the Bible to read like a novel. Like any good story, The Story is filled with intrigue, drama, conflict, romance, and redemption - and this story’s true!

The Story features a foreword by Max Lucado and Randy Frazee. This book tells the grandest, most compelling story of all time: the story of a true God who loves his children, who established for them a way of salvation and provided a route to eternity. Each story in these 31 chapters reveals the God of grace - the God who speaks; the God who acts; the God who listens; the God whose love for his people culminated in his sacrifice of Jesus, his only Son, to atone for the sins of humanity.

Features:

• Selections from text of the accurate, readable, and clear New International Version (NIV)
• Foreword by Max Lucado and Randy Frazee
• Events, characters, and teachings of the Bible are arranged chronologically
• Short transitions between each chapter to connect the reader to the continuing story
• Timelines of Bible events

Ratings and reviews

It was missing pages. I have the hard copy and had to use it instead. Chapter 16 only had four pages. I don't trust goggle play now. Never had this happen before. Bummer. The book is great but only if you get it all downloaded when you pay for all of it.

I'm happy with my app, but when I try to down load on hubby's phone it says not available in the US, please fix this mistake.

It has always been hard for me to understand the Bible. This has allowed me to put the stories together and with more details. It is great for those that want more information on living their life with God in an easy to read way.
