From the Back Cover:
Experience the whole story of the Bible like you never have before
Most people can recount some of the big stories in the Bible--Adam and Eve in the Garden, Noah and the flood, Jonah and the fish, David and Goliath--but relatively few could probably explain the significance of these far-ranging stories to the whole story of Scripture. Are they mere vehicles for ethical teaching? Are they morality lessons? How do they relate to the other stories in Scripture and to your life today?
Whether you've been reading the Bible all your life or you don't even know where to start, The 52 Greatest Stories of the Bible will help you connect the stories that you may be familiar with--the Israelites crossing the Red Sea or Jesus multiplying food--to the Biggest Story of all: a holy God reconciling to Himself a broken and sinful humankind.
And when you understand that incredible story, you discover there's a place in it for you.
Kenneth Boa is the author of several books, including Conformed to His Image, Faith Has Its Reasons, Handbook to Prayer, Handbook to Leadership, and A Taste of the Classics. Boa is president of Reflections Ministries and holds a BS from Case Institute of Technology, a ThM from Dallas Theological Seminary, a PhD from New York University, and a DPhil from the University of Oxford in England.

John Turner has studied theology, psychology, and philosophy, earning an undergraduate degree from Pacific Christian College and a ThM from Bear Valley Bible Institute. Having served churches in California, Maryland, and Texas, Turner is now the president of Faith 2.0 Ministries.
