The Real Story

Do you know the real story of the Bible? What do Adam and Eve, Moses, David, Jesus and the Apostles have to do with my life? In The Real Story , Edward Sri and Curtis Martin break open the Word to examine how all these pieces fit together into one cohesive narrative a story of how, little by little, God has drawn His people into closer union with Himself, culminating in the coming of Jesus Christ and the establishment of His Church. Through a closer study of the key characters and events in the larger biblical narrative, Sri and Martin show that the Bible ultimately isn't a collection of disjointed stories, but an epic saga of God's infinite love for us and His perfect plan for our salvation since the beginning of time.
