Heart of the Story

"The Heart of the Story lifted my chin, time and time again, reminding me to reckon God''s promises with my problems . . . [a] masterful book." —Susie Larson, talk radio host, national speaker, and author of Waking Up to the Goodness of GodThe Heart of the Story will help you see God''s Word in a new and inspiring light. In the Bible''s seemingly disconnected stories, you''ll discover one grand, unfolding epic—God''s story from Genesis onward—and your own life-story contained within it."To understand the Bible," says author and pastor Randy Frazee, "you need bifocal lenses, because two perspectives are involved. The Lower Story, our story, is actually many stories of men and women interacting with God in the daily course of life. The Upper Story is God''s story, the tale of his great, overarching purpose that fits all the individual stories together like panels in one unified mural."In this new edition, Randy dives deeper in the Upper and Lower stories and shows how both perspectives will open your eyes to the richness and relevance of the Bible. Illuminating God''s master-plan from Genesis to our daily lives, The Heart of the Story will encourage you to experience the joy that comes from aligning your stories with God''s."What Randy Frazee has done in The Heart of the Story is to masterfully weave together from the pages of Scripture the grand story of God, and he tells us the story in a way that not only gets at God''s heart, but gets to our hearts as well. If you want to get drawn into a really compelling story that promises to change your life forever, read The Heart of the Story." —Mark Batterson, New York Times–bestselling author of A Million Little Miracles
