For the Children in Your Life

Last week I reviewed The Biggest Story for the news letter from my church, and this morning I posted it at Out of the Ordinary, too. From the review:

[T]he Bible is more than a collection of individual stories with heroes to imitate or villains to avoid imitating. It is one big story comprised of all the smaller stories. It’s the story of God’s work of creation; humankind’s fall, bringing with it the corruption of everything; and God’s work to make it all right again.

Do your children know this story, the biggest one? Do they understand how the stories of the Old and New Testament fit together into a grand narrative of a “snake-crushing King” and “destined-to-die Deliverer” who will bring us back to the garden?

You can read the rest here.

If you have children in your life, The Biggest Story would make an excellent Christmas gift. (Canadians will prefer to purchase it from Amazon.ca.)
