This short book is a brilliant overview of the whole Bible story,
covering the major plot points without getting lost in the weeds. Ideal for non–believers and new believers, Glen’s knack for avoiding insider jargon shines. Filled with fresh insight and vivid prose, there were moments I forgot I had encountered this epic story before.

If you are one of those people who is prepared to sit down and give a bit of time to understanding someone else’s perspective, then when it comes to getting a handle on the Christian story, this is just a great place to start. Glen Scrivener – the Australian Oxford–educated stand–up comedian is a unique communicator and here wonderfully he brings his profound gifts to bear, as he tells what Christians believe is the greatest story ever told. But be warned, I really don’t think you can read this glorious helicopter ride over the Bible story and remain unchanged!

Classic Scrivener. Simple without being simplistic, smart without being smug, bubbling over with ideas but never losing sight of the person at the centre of it all. Glen doesn’t assume you think any of this stuff is true, but be warned: he has a gift for making you wish it were.
