Take a Journey Through the Bible!
“No Ordinary Story” is a boxed series of 11 booklets by John R. Cross that takes a reader through the Bible from creation to Christ, addressing the secular worldview with the uncompromising message of the gospel. Whether Gen Z, Millennial or Baby Boomer, this series' short chapters and small size make it easy for those who prefer to learn in small bites.
If you are familiar with the books The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus and By This Name, this new series, No Ordinary Story, is an abridgment of all three books with material and adaptations specific to the Secular worldview.
