How would new, untrained Christians kindly and humbly introduce God to their non-Christian friends? What if neither the Christian nor the non-Christian could learn from printed materials such as pamphlets, books, or the Bible itself? What if the new Christian was usually alone and untrained in a community hostile to Christian beliefs? How could these new Christians continue the process of reproducing spiritual generations without first being fully taught themselves? The strategy offered here is to tell biblical stories that can be easily retold. Stories that revealed God’s acts and perspectives leading to questions and discussion. Stories that caused new listeners to question their own beliefs. You’re holding a collection of ninety stories designed to be retold by anyone—thirty Old Testament stories chronologically arranged from creation to the return from Israel’s exile; thirty Gospel stories from the announcement of Jesus’ birth to his ascension to heaven; and thirty stories from the New Testament from Pentecost to Jesus’ return from heaven to earth. Each lesson is built upon the principles from Roché’s first book, Biblical Storytelling Design: Understanding Why Oral Stories Work, but modeled and explained in this book.

Develop a deeper relationship with God and a deeper understanding of His word in just 90 days! You may believe the Bible’s overall message, but have you truly grasped the whole story?

You'll come to understand the heart of God, and the awe-inspiring story he's telling, like never before. With a 13-session guide and discussion questions for reflection, this is the perfect resource for small groups, individuals, and church groups.

"God's grace is the most incredible and insurmountable truth ever to be revealed to the human heart."--John Bunyan In 1661 English writer and preacher John Bunyan was jailed for twelve years after refusing to give up his spiritual mission. During this time, he wrote his most enduring work and influential allegory, The Pilgrim's Progress, which has since been published in over 200 languages. This 90-day devotional highlights the eternal truths contained in The Pilgrim's Progress that transcend the allegory into your walk with Jesus. Through these insightful readings, you will be shown the practical help the Holy Spirit provides and how to discern the hindrances of the enemy so you can live a victorious and joyful Christian life. John Bunyan said, "It is always hard to see the purpose in wilderness wanderings until after they are over." May you receive wisdom and strength from Christian's extraordinary journey of faith as you embark on your own adventure toward the Celestial City.
