God Heroes And Everyday Dragons Teen Bible Study Book (Student/Study Guide)

We all love a good story.??
?
Humans have been telling stories since the dawn of creation. Ancient cave paintings told about feats of bravery and victory. These tales were likely also recited around campfires and passed down through the generations. The invention of written language allowed people to tell even more stories and, with the addition of the printing press, to preserve them in books. These days, the biggest form of storytelling is through movies, TV shows, and video games. Even as technology has changed and advanced, humans have continued to tell stories. Why is that????
?
Storytelling is wired into us. Perhaps that is why Jesus spent much of His short ministry traveling around the countryside telling captivating stories. More than 2000 years later, those stories remain some of the most famous stories ever told. Similarly, when God inspired the Bible He didn’t inspire a detailed instruction manual or theology textbook. Rather, He gave us a collection of stories and narratives. One of the most important ways we come to understand truth-about both earthly and spiritual things-is through these stories.?

Whether you realize it or not, you are in the middle of a story; one that God has been telling since the beginning of time and one that will continue on after you exit stage left. Have you ever thought about the Christian faith like that before?

The Bible is not just a boring history about things that happened a long time ago. The Bible is an exciting, unified story about a real God who loves people. It is the story of how God used a collection of ordinary men and women to start a movement that, despite violent opposition, would spread around the world. It is a story of good and evil, of companionship, of warfare, and of epic supernatural encounters. It is the greatest story ever told-and you are a character in it.

In this new 8-part personal Bible study, authors Mike and Daniel Blackaby explore how you can embark on your own faith journey.
