Where would you start if you had less than an hour to explain the gospel to a friend who has not read the Bible before? What information should you cover? What points should you focus on? The Story that Matters provides a clear explanation of the main message of the Bible in 45 minutes.

This booklet explains the gospel in a chronological manner from creation to the cross. Using expressive line art illustrations and carefully controlled text, the core message of the Bible is explained in simple-to-understand English so that even someone who uses English as a second language can clearly understand.

The Story that Matters is priced so it can be given away in large numbers. Churches can present these booklets to visitors or they can be given out at concerts or church programs. Individuals can also give the booklet like a gospel tract to family, friends and neighbours.

"I really like What are Christmas and Easter All About? but it only covers two months of the year. With The Story that Matters, I can now give others the gospel message at any time of the year!"

Assumptions: Assumes children have no prior knowledge of the Bible.

Objective: Allows the Bible to speak for itself in presenting the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no arm-twisting to believe. The message is presented objectively; the decision to believe or not to believe is left to the reader.

Illustrated: Uses expressive line art by gifted artist, Matt Almy, brings the gospel story to life.

Chronological: Begins with the creation of the universe, and then, progressing sequentially through key Old Testament stories, it moves into the New Testament to reveal the meaning of the cross and the tomb. The main story of the Bible is tied together into one universal, all-encompassing drama. The content is brief so a reader can complete the book in approximately 45 minutes.

Lays a foundation: The creation-to-the-cross approach helps put the entire Bible in context. Helps people understand the overall message of the Bible without confusion.

Peels religious tradition off the Bible: Readers are introduced to the Bible without the trappings of religion.

Which book?

The Story that Matters has almost the same text as another booklet, What are Christmas and Easter all About?, but they each use different artwork.
