We recently translated “The Story of Hope” into Ukrainian and have printed 50 copies to test. Once we receive feedback we will be printing 1,000 copies to be used by churches in Ukraine to share the Gospel in a chronological and Biblical way.
If you would like to help donate towards the printing of “The Story of Hope” you can give through our mission.
Thank you!
What is The Story of Hope?
The Story of Hope includes 40 Bible event-lessons listed below. Its time-versatile “shrinkable and expandable” presentation is great for telling or teaching the Bible’s big redemptive story in as few as fifteen minutes or as long as twenty or more hours. It is designed for evangelistic Bible studies, one-on-one or in small groups, but is also helpful in teaching God’s redemptive plan to believers.
Forty strategically selected Bible events, twenty from the Old Testament and twenty from the New Testament, comprise The Story of Hope. Each event is beautifully visualized. A set of evangelism-focused Bible study questions is included in the material for each event. The workbook also includes colorful maps of the Bible lands, highlighting where the events occurred, as well as a very informative visual of the Old Testament’s tabernacle in the wilderness. The Chronological Bridge(ChronoBridge) to Life, which follows the study of the redemptive story, summarizes eight essential “eternal life or death truths” that emerge from the Bible’s story of hope. Sixty-four pages and plastic coil binding. Full color.

“Concepts in The Story of Hope are clearly understood by those who have minimal educational backgrounds. The Way to Joy provides spiritual building blocks for those who want to grow in their faith. The graphic pictures illustrating Biblical stories help people grasp the concepts clearly. The people in rural Paraguay are drawn to visual presentations of Scriptural truth.” – Missionary in Paraguay
“The Story of Hope provides a systematic way of working through God’s Word while dispelling common misbeliefs about God.” – Missionary in Africa
