The Story, NIV

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 New International Version, it allows the stories, poems, and teachings of the Bible to read like a novel. Like any good story, The Story is filled with intrigue, drama, conflict, romance, and redemption — and this story's true!

Features include:

• Selections from the accurate, readable, and clear New International Version (NIV)
• Events, characters, and teachings of the Bible are arranged chronologically
• Short transitions between each chapter to connect the reader to the continuing story
• Timelines of Bible events
• Foreword by Max Lucado and Randy Frazee
• List of characters and who they are
• 11.5-point print size

The Story can be read on its own or used in a small group.

The NIV is the result of over 50 years of work by the Committee on Bible Translation, who oversee the efforts of many contributing scholars.
