Epic: The story God is telling and the role that is yours to play

Author: John Eldredge (some of the author’s other books include Waking the Dead, Wild at Heart, The Sacred Romance and Captivating)

I love a good book, a good story, a good movie. This little book captures your life story. It centres us in God’s story and shows us what role we are to play.

Divided into acts, not chapters, it goes from beginning to end, showing us our part in God’s story. Act 1 is ‘Eternal Love’. In Act 2, ‘The Entrance of Evil’, we meet the bad guy. In Act 3, God enters ‘The Battle for the Heart’. The story unfolds as God sets out His plan to save us. Act 4 sees ‘The Kingdom Restored’ and looks forward to our happy ending — eternity with God.

This book draws on all the great epic tales of good and evil — Lord of the Rings, The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe, ‘Star Wars’, ‘The Lion King’, ‘Titanic’ and The Wizard of Oz — always drawing us back to the best story ever that we are not just reading about but living every day! It is both exciting and challenging, a great size to carry in your bag and once read you’ll want to read it again!
