Customer Reviews

Another Page turner from Nick
I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone, whether they be new Christian, life-long Christian or simply someone with an inquisitive mind. For me, as a life-long christian, most of the stories within "The Big Story" were very familiar. However, it still managed to make me see the Bible in a new light by drawing themes together and making connections between the Old and New Testaments that I hadn't previously recognised. As usual Page's clear communication and wit make this a memorable read, complimented by humorous illustrations and a reader-friendly, cross referenced layout.

If you are looking for a heavy, theological text then this is not the book for you. Most will none-the-less find it refreshing and thought provoking, and be inspired afresh in reading the original "Big Story".

The Big Story
I found this book both informative and an easy read.
I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to know about The Bible and place it in its historical context.

Well worth a read.
