First sentence: As the plane descended toward the city, I didn't see any mountains out the window. At some level, this was disappointing, because that was why I'd come in the first place.

The Epic Story of the Bible is a companion book (of sorts) to the ESV Story of Redemption Bible. (The last chapter of The Epic Story of the Bible is promoting the ESV Story of Redemption Bible in almost every paragraph.) Essentially...to sum it all up...this one communicates the 'big picture' story of the Bible. It then provides four additional lenses to view that big picture of the Bible. It explores--goes over the same groundwork essentially--four themes of the Bible. So readers have five opportunities to grasp what the big picture is. The four themes are: Presence, Covenant, Kingship, Sacrifice.

Throughout the book the author talks about traveling to the mountains. (I personally could have done without this casual framework. But it's not like I'm going to dislike a book because of personal narrative.)

Who is the book for? First, I think this is best suited for those who are either a) new to the faith or b) new to Bible reading. Second, I think it could be used as a refresher course for those who have perhaps 'lost' that initial passion and/or diligence for the Word of God. Maybe it's been a while since they've last picked up the Bible because of love of the Lord. Maybe Bible reading is more a chore or duty. Third, I think plenty of Christians could benefit from reading this one. Maybe the information is not new and sticks to the basics--and what beautiful, amazing basics--but readers could then recommend this one to those who need it most.

It is sad but true that sometimes over-familiarity with a subject effects one's appreciation of it. Oh to read with new, fresh eyes the story of the Bible.

I'm not sure how I should rate this. I feel like three stars is good because this book was a mix. I found it had some good elements and some poor elements. I feel like the way he was connecting it to his life and cars and his kids were a bit awkward even if it was a good visual and they took away from the message.
