  3. More Than a Story | Truth:78

More Than a Story | Truth:78

December 10, 2021

Help Children Explore the Breadth and Depth of Gospel-Grounded Truths
$50 for the Bundle
A wonderfully engaging discipleship tool for parents, grandparents, teachers, and anyone else who cares for the faith of the next generations.
The Purpose ofMore Than a Story - I want to bring integration between the parts of the Bible and the whole. The Bible is one story. I want to give them that redemptive storyline and tie the stories together in a chronological thread of repeated themes in the Bible, showing how individual stories are connected to the grand overarching message. I want them to understand the grand doctrines of the Bible... giving them a theology from a young age.
Great for use in the home, church,or school- Click to View Sample

What Makes More than a Story Unique? -
Both volumes take children on a chronological journey through the Bible's Old & New Testaments
“We long to communicate the message of the New Testament faithfully to our children, both at home and in church and in Christian schools. Sally Michael in this profound book, which is beautifully illustrated by Fred Apps, unpacks the NT message simply and powerfully. What stands out particularly in the book is its theological depth and practical application. Theologically, Michael focuses on both who God is and what he has done for us in Christ. The book is God-centered and Christ-glorifying, reminding us that we depend on the Spirit for empowerment. Don't think this book is too theological to be accessible. The NT message is practically applied to everyday life, and searching questions for application conclude every chapter. I also loved the format of the book: the illustrations, the different fonts, and the box at the end of each chapter invites readers to pursue its content.”
778 pages across both volumes, with hardcover binding and full-color illustrations throughout
“More Than a Story has all the elements of what I look for in a story Bible. First, it’s faithful to the text of Scripture. When it summarizes part of a Bible narrative or several verses of a New Testament letter, it maintains the integrity of the passage. Second, More Than a Story is written in a way that connects with children without compromising the truth of the Bible. Third, it magnifies Christ and emphasizes the Gospel. Story Bibles are selective by design. But rather than giving children the impression that the Bible is simply a moral code from God, More Than a Story makes clear to children their need for a Savior and that Jesus is that Savior. Fourth, it provides practical resources to help the reader use this study Bible with children. Each chapter closes with discussion questions and ways to pray in response to what’s just been read. I commend it to anyone who wants to use it in family worship or in any setting where the goal is to present God’s Word to children. ”
Truth78 initially began as a ministry of Bethlehem Baptist Church that eventually became known as Children Desiring God. Over 20 years, the ministry developed curricula with a scope and sequence extending from nursery through junior high, written by teachers, scrutinized by theological editors, and taught for a generation. In 2015, Children Desiring God began a strategic launch from Desiring God, to become an independent non-profit ministry structured to more strategically fulfill its mission to equip the next generations to know, honor, and treasure God. After re-structuring as a 501(c)3 organization, the ministry changed its name to Truth78 and launched its new identity in April 2018. “The name Truth 78 connects us to Psalm 78, which has been a signature text defining our ministry over the past 20 years,” explains David Michael, founder and chairman of the board. “Psalm 78 charges us to take this testimony we've received from our fathers and faithfully pass it on to the next generation...so that they would set their hope in God."
