104 Bible Stories from Genesis to Revelation

The Bible is full of countless stories.
There are sad stories, scary stories, happy stories, and holy stories.
There are also historical records, theological explanations, laws, lists of names, land divisions, poems, prophecies, parables, letters, and songs.

But ultimately, the Bible is one story.
It's a true story, down to the smallest detail.
This one story is the greatest story, and it is the story of Jesus.
He is the subject.
He is the target.
He is good news.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God who saves us from our sins and the serpent hunter who brings us back to the Garden of Eden.
When you pay attention to the Bible, you look to Christ.

I hope and pray that through "The Greatest Bible Story," people of all ages and genders will be drawn into the vast and overwhelming story of the Bible.
I imagine many people reading this book out loud.
Sitting around the dinner table with my family, with my children before bed, with the youth in my Sunday school class.
We encourage you to ask each other good questions, talk about the pictures, and discuss not only the "what" but also the "why," "how," and "who" in the story.

Did you know that the best children's movies are also loved by adults? The best children's books are also enjoyed by parents.
This is no coincidence.
The best stories, told in a way that suits children's vocabulary and level, will capture the hearts of adults as well.
Such stories teach both children and adults.
I hope this book does just that.
Some of you may discover new insights into stories you've heard all your life.
If you are new to Christianity, I hope this book will serve as a good starting point for learning about the Bible and what it means to believe in and follow Jesus.
