The Big Story

Yesterday we released my new book, The Big Story. I'm really excited about this book. I wrote it for both Christians and non-Christians and I've been giving away copies of the book to my non-Christian and Christian friends. Here's a description:

What is your story?When strangers meet today they often ask not, “What do you do?,” but “What is your story?” Everybody has a story. And everybody on the planet believes some larger story in order to make sense of the smaller story of their life. We want our lives to fit within a larger plot—complete with a sense of history, conflict resolution, forward movement, and future.So, the better question to ask is, “What sort of story are you in?”Most people believe false stories that leave them disillusioned, enslaved, and hopeless. Secular stories of chasing success and religious stories of doing good works can both leave us feeling exhausted and empty. Only Christianity, only the old and ongoing story of the Bible, offers a story that’s big enough to make sense of both the beauty and brokenness in our lives and in our world. At the center of this story is a God who disturbs our life in order to set us free.

This is a great book to get for yourself and for your friends, both friends who believe in Jesus and friends who don't. It's perfect summer reading.I suggest one of three things you can do right now to learn more:1. Buy the book on Amazon (it's 25% off today).2. Read the endorsements for The Big Story.3. Read an article I wrote for The Huffington Post today, You Need A Better Story.
