Epic: The Story God Is Telling
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.

What A Story!
One of Eldredge's best. The Story we live is not ours, but God"s, and we need to remember not only that God wins, but that He wants to restore mankind to hoe He created it. He is doing it now. Read it, surrender to Christ, and live in the image you were created to live!

Third time I read this book and loved it.
The world is hungry, no starving, for this message. It is a message of hope, a message of truth, of life. Each time I read it, I was reminded of the Great Story in which I was placed, God's great love for the world, and for me and of my place in the story.

The Story
A beautiful tale of the story of Scripture and our role in it as the messenger of His grace and goodness.
