THE STORY The Bible As One Continuing Story Of God And His People

This book helped me so much in understanding the Bible... great book to use along side with your Bible

Simply written. Step by step. For someone who wants a basic understanding of the Bible, buy this book! I read my Bible but some confuses me, this simplifies it. Well written book!

If you love The Bible and having a hard time reading it due to you figure so much knowledge to take in and somewhat find it a little intimidating “The Story” guides and helps you understand and glide through The Bible so much easier and with a better and clearer understanding I LOVE THIS BOOK AND HAVE SHARED IT WITH EVERYONE FAMILY/FRIENDS and People God has place in my path get this and get closer to Christ and His Word in Jesus Name I pray understanding for everyone that buys this book

Book was described as like new has solid pages and marked up from price stickered on book in large print. The second copy I also ordered was written in and had added verbiage and many damaged and water stained

So many times, Seekers and New Believers are told to begin in John for a synopsis of the Bible. But the overall message that ALL of the Bible is a story of God's heart seeking the lost and bringing restoration is lost. This is like the Chronological Bible, but simpler. It is written in narrative style. If you want an amazing Bible study that will build faith and deepen understanding, then buy this inexpensive book used and give it away to everyone who expresses interest. Then, put a prayer bookmark in the prelude to the New Testament and have them beginning reading there. God's Word never returns void. Use this to build strong faith!

This is an excellent way to familiarize yourself with the Bible characters and the timeline. It follows the lineage of Jesus. Must read for everyone.

The Story is a great way to get a feel for the overall story of the Bible, from beginning to end. Obviously not meant to be your primary study Bible, The Story instead is designed as a tool to help the newcomer to the Bible or one who merely wants to read it more like a novel to get a grasp on the essential storyline.

I would recommend this book to anyone, who's interested in reading the bible like a story. It would definitely hold your interest.

This is Today's New International Version of the Bible organized not by book and verse but as one seamless story from beginning to end. One of the difficulties for many people who study the Bible is the fact that it is not organized chronologically but the historical books often cover the same period (i.e. 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles) or are organized by the length of the book (major prophets vs. minor prophets) or other ways. This is a unique way of presenting the complete Bible story that brings pattern and structure to all the disconnected stories we tend to learn in church. Others have taken the Bible and organized it into chronological order before but generally they have produced a paraphrased story and not a translation. What makes this book unique is that they have retained the translation so it is still a good study Bible. I recommend The Story as the best chronological Bible available today because it stays as true as possible to being a translation that has just had the chapters and verses reorganized to make it a single story.
