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 information from how the Bible was brought together, discussion of verse to verse studies and character studies, I was really impressed at both how informative and just really entertaining “Storylines” is.
More than just a “handbook”, I particularly enjoy the personal ancedotes that the authors shared and the light conversational style that “Storylines” is written in, really just shows that there is so much to the Bible that is offered.
Although the themes are lightly touched on, this is does not take away from the reading, but instead, the authors touch on topics such as sin, and grace, and our Father’s prescence to name a few that had me really glued to each page, andfinding myself surprised for a “small” book of 208 pages, that they manage to share so much about not just the “Bible itself” but each storyline that it is broken down into such as, what they called, “The Jesus Storyline”, for example.
I highly recommend this refreshing and casual, but, in depth look at the Bible and find yourself looking at the Bible in not only a new way, but at the same time reminded of God’s everlasting message that is found through His word.
