Description
Pastor and author Jonathan Murphy provides readers with a framework—a master plot—to the story of all history. This deep exploration of Scripture reveals that God is in complete command of this universe and how He guides everyone's story: past, present, and future.
Good stories make you laugh, cry, fear, dream, hope. They engage our hearts, entertain our minds, and enlighten our souls. God wrote a story—the best story ever!—full of drama, adventure, love, sacrifice, redemption, and has an ending that seems too good to be true. And the greatest thing about God's story is that we are all part of it. His story provides the meaning of life that brings fulfillment of our desires and purpose for our existence.
The Story of God and Us shows not only what God is doing from creation to eternity, but how everything makes sense as you read the Bible from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation. World history is not made up of random people and events but of divine appointment and purpose. In this book, Jonathan Murphy leads readers to understand how:
- the meaning of life is essential to a fulfilling relationship and partnership with God;
- God accomplishes His plans in a pleasing and connecting way;
- a multidimensional view of Scripture can engage and delight even the most disinterested and distracted; and
- seeing the big picture can provide a fresh look at how our story clearly fits into God's.
As Jonathan retells God's story through a fresh lens, Christians will better understand how much God loves them, how He desires us to live with Him and for Him, and why we should invite others into this amazing story every chance that we get!
