Publisher Description
BASED ON THE EPIC MINISERIES TO AIR SPRING 2013.
A STORY OF GOD AND ALL OF US is a sweeping narrative that dramatizes some of the most important events and characters in the Bible. The book reads like a fine novel, dramatizing the sweep of biblical events, making the men and women of scripture come alive in vivid detail and dialogue. All are historically and theologically accurate. A ten-hour miniseries on the History Channel will be based on the story, and the script has been reviewed by a number of Christian church leaders and seminarians for authenticity. The book will be released one month prior to the debut of the television series. Many prominent biblical characters will be dramatized in the story: Moses, David, Daniel, John the Baptist and of course, Jesus. The book will reveal the prophetic significance of the empires that controlled Israel: (Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians and Romans) and how these figured into biblical prophecy, especially concerning the Messiah.

"It was an interesting way to read the stories of the Bible. I am not someone who believes in the Bible as the word of God, but I like to at least have some knowledge regarding religious texts. I would recommend reading this if you have tried to read the Bible but struggled to get through it."
— Tracy (4 out of 5 stars)

" A good companion to the TV series. It focuses on some key characters and scenes throughout scripture and really makes it come to life in a dramatic way. It would be especially great for new believers or believers who have become jaded. I really enjoyed it. "

— Courtney, 10/2/2013 -
" They took creative liberties with the stories,left details out and added things here and there that aren't accurate. I won't read it again, but I think it's a good book to introduce to a new christian or a person questioning if there is a God. "
— Pamela, 8/14/2013 -
" This is a great read for someone that struggles reading the Bible. While its certainly not a replacement, it sums up the context and detail of all major bible stories in an easy to read manner, some of which can be easily misinterpreted when read straight from the Bible. "

" Currently reading side by side with my bible. "
— Penny, 5/19/2013 -
" A magnificent undertaking by the Hollywood couple. My favorite parts are the ones wrapped around Jesus and His life on earth. "
— Lisa, 4/26/2013 -
" Informative. Not a substitute for The Holy Bible. Authors clearly state that as well. "

" For believers this is a wonderful way to re-visit the Bible. . . An enjoyable, deeply moving read that brings to life the people and stories centered in the waiting for the Messiah and the fulfillment of God's promise. . . "
