Zondervan The Story: Getting to the Heart of God's Story, Participant's Guide

The Story video curriculum gives groups of all sizes the opportunity to learn, discuss and apply what they have experienced during their 31-week The Story church-wide experience. Pastor and author Randy Frazee presents 31 ten-minute teachings on how the story of Scripture intersects with the story of our Life.

To understand the Bible, says author and pastor Randy Frazee, you need bifocal lenses, because two perspectives are involved. The Lower Story, our story, is actually many stories of men and women interacting with God in the daily course of life. The Upper Story is God's story, the tale of his great, overarching purpose that fits all the individual stories together like panels in one unified mural.

In 31 video sessions, The Story video curriculum will open your eyes to God's master-plan unfolding in the lives of the Bible's characters-and in your own life. Discover the heart of God's Upper Story, and the joy that comes as you align your story with God's.

The Story DVD and Participant's Guide (sold separately) are designed for use by groups of all sizes, including small groups and Sunday school and adult education classes, for each of the 31 weeks of The Story church-wide journey.

I like the discussion questions, but did not realize it needed a DVD also. However, if someone in the group as a strong basic knowledge, the study can be led without the DVD.

I received this book from Zondervan free for the purpose of writing a review.
God's Masterful Design to Restore His People is the subtitle of this book and it says it all.
Pastor Frazee says it better than I on page 182, "Our first goal as we've gone through the Story, that God would refocus, re-center, remind and rebuild our lives on what is foundational - His Upper Story. On page 183 he further explains, "Our second goal of the Story experience-to equip the whole church, the whole family of God, in a way that allows us to share in the experience together so we can help each other understand it."
This book encouraged my faith as I once again reflected on God's amazing love for me. It also help me to see the "lower story" which is what we see with our eyes and the "upper story" which is what it is from God's perspective.'
Great book for anyone needing to have their heart lifted as they understand God's Amazing LOVE for each of us.
