Zondervan NKJV® The Story - Hardcover w/Dust Jacket

"The Greatest Story Ever Told" is more than just a cliché.

The Story reveals the unfolding, grand narrative of the Scriptures. Using the stylistic beauty of the New King James Version®, this rendering of the Bible allows its stories, poems, and teachings to come together in a single, compelling read.

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 classic, timeless text of the New King James Bible, it allows the stories, poems, and teachings of the Bible to read like a novel. And like any good story, The Story is filled with intrigue, drama, conflict, romance, and redemption; and this story's true!

From the foreword by Max Lucado and Randy Frazee:

"This book tells the grandest, most compelling story of all time: the story of a true God who loves his children, who established for them a way of salvation and provided a route to eternity. Each story in these 31 chapters reveals the God of grace—the God who speaks; the God who acts; the God who listens; the God whose love for his people culminated in his sacrifice of Jesus, his only Son, to atone for the sins of humanity."
