The Bible is Beautiful: Welcome to the Christian Story

by Brett Davis

For two thousand years the Christian church has told a story. This story reaches back to the beginning of history, it concerns every single person who ever lived and it centers around a man professed by hundreds of millions to be God himself. A rather signficant story. According to centuries of Christians, it is the Story-capitol S. The Story of Creation being stitched back together by its Creator being torn apart. The Story of the universe's King. The Story of Jesus. This high-energy introduction "connects the dots" of the Bible's vast and various books. Utilizing both inviting visuals and expansive footnotes, it plunges readers into the world revealed in Jesus. A world of hope where God is closer than you can imagine, where humanity can discover its destiny and where the end is simply the beautiful beginning. The Bible is Beautiful is for the young, for the old, for the Christian, for the curious, for the skeptic-for anyone who has ever wanted to hear the Story of the Bible with new ears.

This is the book I would have wanted to write about the Bible. Brett is deep and winsome, accessible and funny. Quite simply, beautiful. He manages to blend biblical wording and imagery with that which is totally unfamiliar, jarring - to make the story of the Bible new again. He is comprehensive in his scope of the narrative and the major themes that the Bible presents. It's like the Bible Project in book form. Read this book!
