Synopsis

What if the Good News of the Gospel is better, richer and more beautiful than we imagined? What if it is the most astonishing story of all? Discover in the Gospel of John that there is nothing as amazing, as extraordinary, as staggering as the story God is telling in our world.
Life is more than a random sequence of meaningless events. We are immersed in a story. The more you discover about it, the more remarkable it turns out to be. It is a divine conspiracy of extreme goodness. It is a tour de force of unexpected grace. The overarching narrative found in Holy Scripture is the only story large enough to account for the beauty and brokenness of our world. It is a story that makes sense of the longings and dreams of our hearts. It’s the Father’s Story—and it is unspeakably beautiful, wonderful and good.
This book explores God’s unfolding drama from the standpoint of John’s Gospel and particularly his prologue. The first eighteen verses of John’s book are a microcosm of the biblical narrative. Probably no other portion of the Bible is so densely packed with great theological themes. Using John’s prologue as a launching pad, this book delves into the mystery of God’s “grand narrative” that is unfolding in this world. The apostle shares with us a vision of God—a God more gracious, giving and awe-inspiring than we imagined. A Divine Lord whose conspiracy of goodness is more astonishing than a fairy tale. The Gospel writer unveils the Real Story. He dares us to believe that truth is more wonderful than fiction.
