Reviews'I have known Greg Koukl for a quarter of a century as a smart, well-educated man of integrity with a tender heart for God. I've enjoyed his previous writings, but The Story of Reality is clearly his best and most important book to date. I couldn't put it down. Koukl carries on a conversation with the reader, presenting the big elements of the Christian Story, providing reasons for believing the Story, and contrasting it, when appropriate, with alternative narratives. The book has a wonderful feel of authenticity. I highly recommend it for believers who want to be encouraged and instructed, and it's an excellent give-away for an open unbeliever.'

Table Of ContentChapter 1---Picture, Puzzle, StoryChapter 2---God Chapter 3---Man Chapter 4---Jesus Chapter 5---Cross Chapter 6---Resurrection EpilogueNotesThis section will contain explanatory notes for each chapter that serve the function of footnotes, but without the numbering. The goal is to present important secondary material in a way that does not seem academic or tedious, but flows as a natural extension of the narrative.

  • Excellent Christian resource from Creationist perspective

    Winner of Christianity Today’s 2018 book award in the apologetics/evangelism category. An excellent resource for Christians that can serve to both clarify the story of Christianity in their own minds and guide them in sharing it in a coherent way with others. Nonetheless, it is largely “preaching to the choir”. Those outside of the choir are less likely to be impressed. The Story is written from a Creationist perspective, positing a perfect original world with Adam and Eve providing the sole genetic stock of our fallen human race. These assertions, which stand at odds with genuine science (a fact that cannot be just brushed aside), are not the only Christian viewpoints available. Other than that, it is spot-on. Another point of view to consider is theistic evolution with modification. That is to say that evolution is but one tool in God’s toolbox and that he can and does step in anytime, anywhere in the cosmos to do whatever he pleases either personally, as Jesus proved, or through agents at his disposal. One free resource along these lines is A Gamers’ Guide to the Gospel: A pointer to the ultimate program and why you should care. Presenting the early chapters of Genesis as a super-simplified account of scientific and historical reality, it not only lifts up the triune God but helps to kick the props out from under scientism, atheism, New Ageism and other false belief systems. It’s slanted to online gamers in particular, but is good to share with all others who erroneously think that the Christian story of reality is a tired old fairy tale and that science has kicked God to the curb. It’s tough, it’s short, it’s free online.

  • Makes you think!

    Incredible logic trail and critical thinking. Not a book to read with other distractions going on around you, but if you delve into it without interruption you come away with a new and more informed way of looking at reality.
