By the time a Christian reaches young adulthood, he is likely to be quite familiar with every major story in the Bible, but not from having studied them in any particular order. Ask an average Bible student to arrange certain characters and events chronologically, and the results are telling. Telling God’s Story looks closely at the Bible from its Genesis beginning to Revelation conclusion. By approaching Scripture as one purposefully flowing narrative, emphasizing the inter-connectedness of the text, veteran college professors Preben Vang and Terry Carter reinforce the Bible’s greatest teachings and help readers in their own ability to share God’s story with others.
This was a wonderful book taking the Bible and telling the story in the language that any man can understand. So many people are familiar with stories from the Bible. Vang ties all the stories together so that one can see and understand the purpose and meaning of the Bible. Using charts, maps and other aids anyone can see and understand that all events told in the Bible had a purpose. This book is a good read for a novice or even a long term Bible reader.
