It presents the big story in such a way that it will:

-connect the dots for readers of the Bible, demonstrating how each individual story is really one chapter in the larger story
-show how Jesus is the point of the story, especially his death and resurrection
-build a biblical worldview by showing the reader how the Bible answers the ultimate questions of life

About this title

From the Back Cover

Experience the whole story of the Bible like you never have before

Most people can recount some of the big stories in the Bible--Adam and Eve in the Garden, Noah and the flood, Jonah and the fish, David and Goliath--but relatively few could probably explain the significance of these far-ranging stories to the whole story of Scripture. Are they mere vehicles for ethical teaching? Are they morality lessons? How do they relate to the other stories in Scripture and to your life today?

Whether you've been reading the Bible all your life or you don't even know where to start, The 52 Greatest Stories of the Bible will help you connect the stories that you may be familiar with--the Israelites crossing the Red Sea or Jesus multiplying food--to the Biggest Story of all: a holy God reconciling to Himself a broken and sinful humankind.

And when you understand that incredible story, you discover there's a place in it for you.
