I’ll be honest, this book has sat on my shelf for years. I would pick it up and put it back down without every really engaging with it. But something was different this time. I had just finished rereading the New Testament looking for what scripture to read next. I was feeling overwhelmed by starting Genesis again but I didn’t want to lose the rhythm of reading the bible each day. I just wanted something different. This book caught my eye and I pulled it off the shelf. I started leafing through it and getting an idea of how to read it. It’s the Bible, but as a novel. With new enthusiasm I started reading a chapter a day and devouring the message in a new way. This was so easy to read. Easy to understand. It is in chronological order so it had me questioning how and when things were written. The Story gives extra insights here and there that help tie the stories together and help the bigger picture make sense. After reading The Story I feel like I understand the whole Bible better. https://a.co/d/39mcRrJ* *This is an Amazon affiliate link
