EPIC: The Story God is Telling, John Eldredge

Book Review: This is definitely an interesting and worthy read by Eldredge, it is in a totally different sphere to his work with his wife in Captivating, but if you're looking for something to motivate you, to inspire you to get more connected with the Word of God, this will definitely do that!
I loved studying with this little booklet. Yes, it is just a little booklet, not a novel! For the longest time I kept it on my night-stand and paged through it sometimes at night before I went to bed. It helped me get my thoughts focused and in a meditative state of mind.

Book Synopsis: In Epic, a retelling of the gospel in four acts, John Eldredge invites us to revisit the drama of life, viewing God not only as the author but also as the lead actor, exploring His motives and His heart. Eldredge examines the power of story, the universal longing for a "plot" that makes sense deep inside us, our desire for a meaningful role to play, our love of books and movies, and how all of this points us to the gospel itself.
