Overview
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.
About the authors
Keith Davy
As Executive Director of Research and Development for Cru, Keith Davy has helped spearhead innovation for more effective ministry in today’s rapidly changing cultural landscape.

Rick James
Rick James ends up thinking a lot about evangelism, about how to present Jesus responsibly to college students. In his former role as a speaker for Campus Crusade and publisher of CruPress, Rick is constantly looking for, collecting and creating literature that communicates the Gospel in a truly relevant way. Rick's two degrees, theology and advertising, have convinced him that good communication is nearly as important as good theology. Rick joins his concern for biblical substance with a care for style, humor, and metaphor.
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 God
- Anticipation: The Bible promises a coming deliverer
- Pursuit: The coming of Christ
- Sacrifice: Jesus’s death and resurrection
- Invitation: God invites us to return to him
- Reunion: The future relationship to come, and eternal life
As you 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 to read on their own.
