Scripture portions, as the name implies, are books where Zondervan selects certain portions of Scripture, emphasizing key points, and presents it in new ways.

The Story
At its most basic level, Christianity is a story about God and the remarkable lengths he goes to to rescue lost and hurting people. The Story gives you just that—the story of Scripture. Condensed into 30 accessible chapters, it reads more like a novel than your typical religious text. And like any good story, The Story is filled with intrigue, drama, conflict, romance, and redemption.
Features include:
- Unique format and helpful transitions that allow the story to be read as a novel
- Lists of characters and timelines
- Discussion guide
