Publisher's Summary

Biblical Christianity is more than just another private religious view. It's more than just a personal relationship with God or a source of moral teaching.

Christianity is a picture of reality.

It explains why the world is the way it is. When the pieces of this puzzle are properly assembled, we see the big picture clearly. Christianity is a true story of how the world began, why the world is the way it is, what role humans play in the drama, and how all the plotlines of the story are resolved in the end.

In The Story of Reality, best-selling author and host of Stand to Reason Gregory Koukl explains the five words that form the narrative backbone of the Christian story. He identifies the most important things that happen in the story in the order they take place:

  • God
  • Man
  • Jesus
  • Cross
  • Resurrection

Our story begins with God. He created everything, but something went terribly wrong. So God initiated a rescue plan and entered the world that he had made by becoming like us in Jesus Christ. Jesus saved us from the wrongness in ourselves and in the world through his death on a cross. And how people respond to what he did will determine their future, at the final event of history: the resurrection.

If you are already a Christian, this is your story. Do you know it? If you are not a Christian, this is still your story, because it explains the world in a way that nothing else will. It is a true story—the real story behind every other story we hear.

A Must Read Book

Greg Koukl is gifted in describing and explaining things in such a way that everyone can grasp. He has a very welcoming and approachable writing style. He takes what could have been filled with intellectual and theological terminologies and heady stuff to something that you might hear in a conversation with a friend.

Speaking of friends, the audio version of this book, which is narrated by the author, is excellent. I would almost recommend having both the audio as well as the written versions. Koukl is very engaging in reading his book such that it is very easy to follow along and forget about time. The written version would be great if you want to go through parts carefully, make notes, or highlight things that are meaning for you.

The Story of Reality is highly recommended for both those who are wanting to understand what the Bible is really about as well as those who identify as Christians. All will learn a lot.

Really interesting and makes you think

This book really ignites the mind in how we view the world, God and ourselves. Easy to listen to with concepts that are worth sharing. A hope-filled encouraging book.

A wonderful story.

I liked that the author and he is also the narrator, makes so much sense. He logically and carefully explains the story of our existence! And he does so without so much wordiness so that it is easy to understand.

The author has a slightly different perspective that is educating and enlightening. Easy to understand and helpful for belivers and non-believers.
