Your life tells a story.
From beginning to end, your life creates a unique narrative, shaped by the wider stories you find yourself in. For many in the West, the stories that dominate our experience are those of happiness (‘just do what makes you happy), safety (its not worth the risk) and significance (I want to be remembered’).
But what if these stories are too small to really matter?
Exploring the importance such stories play in our lives, Andy Frost, Director of Share Jesus International, presents an alternative narrative the God Story. Long Story Short invites readers to find their place in the only story big enough to live for.
This book is invaluable for discovering, or finding again, your story.
