Stories are an integral part of the human condition, the way we have passed on history and information and inspiration for millenia. Using the power of imagery and the drama of narrative, bestselling author and professional storyteller Steven James leads readers through a journey into the greatest story ever told. From creation to Christ's birth, from his first miracle to eternity and everything in between, readers will see familiar scenes from the Bible like they never have before. These stories, retold as only Steven James can, will wake readers spiritually, re-inspire their faith journey, and jolt them into action.
A few months ago, I read my first Steven James book, The Queen, and loved it. This is a totally different type of book by the master storyteller. "Story" is a book about the Bible. But from a different angle. It's more of a journey through his eyes of stories in God's word. He does a great job weaving present day to Bible times and how it is relevant to us still today. He uses stories as imagery and parallels, examples if you will. He captures you from the beginning and takes you on a journey, helping you discover Jesus again, and how we are a part of God's bigger story that He is crafting.
