Publisher's summary

Biblical Christianity is more than just another private religious view. It's more than just a personal relationship with God or a source of moral teaching.

Christianity is a picture of reality.

It explains why the world is the way it is. When the pieces of this puzzle are properly assembled, we see the big picture clearly. Christianity is a true story of how the world began, why the world is the way it is, what role humans play in the drama, and how all the plotlines of the story are resolved in the end.

In The Story of Reality, best-selling author and host of Stand to Reason Gregory Koukl explains the five words that form the narrative backbone of the Christian story. He identifies the most important things that happen in the story in the order they take place:

  • God
  • Man
  • Jesus
  • Cross
  • Resurrection

Our story begins with God. He created everything, but something went terribly wrong. So God initiated a rescue plan and entered the world that he had made by becoming like us in Jesus Christ. Jesus saved us from the wrongness in ourselves and in the world through his death on a cross. And how people respond to what he did will determine their future, at the final event of history: the resurrection.

If you are already a Christian, this is your story. Do you know it? If you are not a Christian, this is still your story, because it explains the world in a way that nothing else will. It is a true story—the real story behind every other story we hear.

Every Christian should have this in their Library.

This was a fantastic book and Greg did a great job of reading it. I think every Christian should have a couple of these books on hand, because it would be a great book to give away to someone that you are sharing the gospel with. I appreciate the fact that this book will be accessible to intellectuals and the laymen alike. it's an awesome book.... Read it or listen to it.

A Classic All Christians Should Read

Would recommend this book to any Christian, baby Christian or senior Christian. And to anyone looking to know the Christian worldview. This book was very helpful in understanding the overarching story of the bible that God has revealed to us through Scripture. This is basic Christianity and every one of us is in desperate need to know it!

Clear Thinking Gospel Presentation

The gospel of Jesus has content. By that I mean it has meaning and depth that goes beyond the sound bites that often come with evangelism. Knowing this content prepares us to share the gospel and be prepared to address questions and concerns people may have about the gospel message. Greg Koukl’s book on “The Story of Reality” is a great overview of that content in an accessible and thought provoking way! And is a great help for those wanting to share their faith.

A very detailed yet digestible overview of the Christian Worldview

Greg Kokul presents a very detailed yet digestible overview of the Christian Worldview, presented in a non-judgmental, “matter of fact” sounding manner, contrasting it with other popular worldviews that many hold, yet are likely unfamiliar with their incongruities with the actual world around us.
