With over 3 million sold, The Storytells the grandest, most compelling story of all time!

God goes to great lengths to rescue lost and hurting people. That is what The Story is all about: the story of the Bible, God's great love affair with humanity. Condensed into 31 accessible chapters, The Story sweeps you into the unfolding progression of Bible characters and events from Genesis to Revelation. Using the world’s most popular modern-English Bible, the New International Version, and printed in the exclusive Zondervan NIV Comfort Print® typeface, it allows the stories, poems, and teachings of the Bible to read like a novel. Like any good story, The Story is filled with intrigue, drama, conflict, romance, and redemption—and this story’s true!

Features:

  • Selections from the accurate, readable, and clear New International Version (NIV)
  • Events, characters, and teachings of the Bible are arranged chronologically
  • Short transitions between each chapter to connect the reader to the continuing story
  • Timelines of Bible events
  • Foreword by Max Lucado and Randy Frazee
  • List of characters and who they are
  • Discussion questions for each chapter
  • Exclusive Zondervan NIV Comfort Print typeface
  • 11.5-point print size

The Story can be read on its own, used in a small group, or as part of the 31-week church wide-campaign. Companion curriculum is also available.

Using the accurate, readable, and clear New International Version (NIV) text makes the Bible accessible and easy to read. The NIV is the result of over 50 years of work by the Committee on Bible Translation, who oversee the efforts of many contributing scholars. Representing the spectrum of evangelicalism, the translators come from a wide range of denominations and various countries and continually review new research to ensure the NIV remains at the forefront of accessibility, relevance, and authority. Every NIV Bible that is purchased helps Biblica translate and give Bibles to people in need around the world.

I paid for a new book but got a lightly used book. I don't really care but I paid more than the cost of a used copy so that's annoying. There is a stain on the dust cover and a sentiment written inside, but everything else is fine. I'm still giving it 4 stars because it's a book as long as the pages aren't damaged or missing, it reads the same.

What a fabulous way to introduce somebody to the story of the Bible. It takes you from Genesis to Revelations as if reading a novel. You're not getting the same story over and over told from different perspective. And everything is in chronological order. For someone new to the Bible or new to Christianity this is an amazing book

The book is well written and easy to read. Accurate with the NIV version of the Bible. I love that it is in chronological order. I could read this to my 7 year old and she would understand. It's clear and precise. No confusion jargen to try to interpret.
However, the product itself did not come in great condition. As you can see from the pictures, the pages are uneven with slight frays and tears. I will still keep the book because I waited a while for it to arrive. However, I am a bit disappointed in the quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to get an overview of the whole Bible
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2024
Verified Purchase
My wife was talking to some ladies who commented, “Have you ever read through the whole Bible? Every one who I know has done that said it was life changing. Do you think it would be for me?” That was the beginning of a revolution and revival in our community. Approximately 100 individuals went through this book and the videos over the next four years, some several times. They now see the big picture of the Bible and “His Story”. People who had attended church for years and always felt inadequate in their Biblical knowledge, now had confidence and even felt comfortable enough to teach others. Several accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior.

Yes, reading through the Bible does change lives.

The format sticks to using scripture in whichever version you choose. We found, that since most of the folks participating were not scripturally advanced, reading in NIV or New KJV was better than the archaic language of the KJV. It uses blocks of scripture with a paragraph or two of connecting explanation every couple of pages. It picks up the highlights of the story of God’s plan and hand on the world. I does not include every chapter of the Bible.

Janet found that some folks would read the whole chapter on their own, but she also took time to read it aloud to the whole group after they had watched the short video. She also taught them as they read through and answered their questions.

As they completed the study, most wanted to turn right around and do it again with the new under they had. And a couple groups even tackled actually reading the Bible verse by verse all the way through.

The videos are 10 minutes or so apiece, and work well to do at the beginning of the sessions. We highly recommend this for any Christian denomination as it is simply reading the Bible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simplified Bible
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2024
Verified Purchase
It's the Bible, simplified and abridged. It's a third of the size of the actual Bible so you save lots of time but also all of the literary value of the Bible is lost if I am being honest. For secular readers, like me, the literary value of Bible is all there is to it and the NIV is just not a very elegant translation and a simplified version of that it even less engaging. If you want a literary Bible then I'd recommend getting a complete version of the KJV or NKJV translation, or possibly RSV-CE or the newer NRSV and even the venerable Douay-Rheims Bible would be a great choice. This is nonetheless is a very good book for those who want to get familiar with the Bible and its main content.

This book simplifies the Bible in an easy to read format. I made a point to read at least a few pages per day and could not put it down. If you’ve never read the Bible cover to cover, and want to build your relationship with God, this book is definitely for you. Constructively, I wish it had some maps to reference. Otherwise it’s an amazing read and worth every penny.

This book is divided into 31 chapters with timelines, maps and brief description of characters. The content was good and worth reading to get a overview but the cutting of the pages was not good. So don't be shocked if you get irregular papercuts on one side. You can trim it off and level it to a certain extent with a blade if you can which I did.
