Summary

To many people, the Bible is a series of incongruous and confusing stories. It jumps from one person or place to the next leaving the reader scrambling to keep up and make sense of it all. That's a tall task. In this little book, Pastor Jim Nicodem helps the reader to solve the riddle of the Bible with one simple revelation: the Bible is one single story. Nicodem walks the reader across the high points of the story so it becomes easy to see how it all fits together. All those little stories and poems and lessons become one epic story with a single theme, that of redemption. Perfect for believers at any stage, Epicwill open readers' eyes to the excitement and bigness of the Bible's story and more importantly to the bigness of God's redemption.
