Backstory – Life @ Large Revisited (Ebook)

This is a simple, clear, highly intuitive tool used for sharing the gospel in a narrative and visual way.

There are billions of people in the world with billions of stories. And yet there are themes in our stories that are universal: betrayal, love, sacrifice, romance, and redemption. The real question, however, is if there’s a larger story or narrative to which all of our stories relate—one that makes sense of our shared experience via a common backstory.

This booklet explains that common backstory in a clear presentation of the gospel:

• Intimacy: God created us to know him
• Betrayal: Humanity rebelled and sin separated us from him
• Anticipation: The Bible promises a coming Deliverer
• Pursuit: The coming of Christ
• Sacrifice: Jesus’ death and resurrection
• Invitation: God invites us to return to him
• Reunion: The future relationship to come, and eternal life

As one can see, Backstory – Life @ Large Revisited provides a broader, more comprehensive explanation of the gospel and thus a more compelling case for Christ. You can use the booklet to explain the gospel, stimulate a spiritual conversation, or to give to someone as a ‘read on your own’ gospel summary.
