Could it be that we often miss the forest for the trees? Could it be that we inadvertently try to make the narrative, the story, about us?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn one sense, the story \u003cem\u003eis\u003c\/em\u003e about us. It is about \u003cem\u003eour\u003c\/em\u003e creation, \u003cem\u003eour\u003c\/em\u003e fall into sin, \u003cem\u003eour\u003c\/em\u003e redemption, and \u003cem\u003eour\u003c\/em\u003e restoration. We are indeed \u003cem\u003epart\u003c\/em\u003e of the story, and God has given us each a role.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut, more than that, the Bible is a fascinating story about God--his work, his character, his plan, and his fame. It's evocative, compelling, meaningful, and of greatest importance. It's full of flawed characters, grand schemes of redemption, heartache, compassion, toil, and love. And we--all of us--are invited to take up and read the very Word of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Nichols helps us to experience the story and get more out of God's Word. Here is a book that invites you to enter in, to participate, and to truly appreciate the very story of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStephen J.
