What I really enjoyed about "Storylines" was the very casual, layman approach to understanding the Bible that makes this both an entertaining and informative book about the major themes that are found throughout the Bible.

Filled with personal ancedotes, discussion questions at the end, a "paperchase" after each chapter that provides specific verses to further explore the biblical themes that are shared, several appendixes that provide even more in depth informatio More...

I was really expecting a chapter by chapter description of the Bible, but got something much more valuable than just facts. They present some basic information about the old and new testament but make it connect and help you realize what is there.

MY REVIEW:

Storylines is a refreshing look at the Bible and the story of God's love that weaves it's way through from beginning to end. Andy and Mike explain the Bible in an overview of six stories.

I appreciated the fresh look at what these six story lines mean to us here and now and how these two men use examples we can relate to in order to make it come alive in our own minds.

Summary:
Excellent book! Perfect for teens and adults that are growing in their faith. The authors introduce us to the books of the Bible, cover the basics for interpreting scripture, and take us on a journey though the Bible covering six essential threads: Jesus, Covenant, Presence of God, Kingdom of God, Salvation, and Worship. I was amazed and how skillfully they made complex theological concepts really simple to understand.
