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.

The gospel is a powerful drama of a great fall and a heroic rise. Glen Scrivener adds color and context to the beautiful story of redemption found in the Bible. This book will contribute to your love for all that was accomplished through the living, dying, and rising of Jesus of Nazareth
