Riassunto

Stories shape us and give us meaning - but is it coincidence that the same seven basic plots repeat over time and across the world? What if stories not only reveal something about human psychology, but also give us clues to the meaning of the reality we live in?

Discover how these archetypal stories - Overcoming the Monster, Rags to Riches, The Quest, Voyage and Return, Comedy, Tragedy and Rebirth - are not only universal, but also found in the story of Christ. What if Jesus' story is where myth becomes history and can give true meaning to all our lives?

Explore for yourself the explosive claim that the life of Jesus isn't just another story, but the true story that satisfies our deepest longings.

A fresh evangelistic angle for non-believers to engage with the gospel through the topic of 'story' Attractively priced for bulk purchases for church and student Christian Union evangelistic events Backed by UCCF, the national Christian Union movement, with reach to the 20,000 students in CUs across the UK, and a ‘Student Connect’ mailing list for student workers which regularly has 2000 opens Relevant and engaging in today's story-driven culture, following the likes of 'God's Big Picture' by Vaughan Roberts, 'Story Bearer' by Phil Knox and 'Living His Story' by Hannah Steele.
