In The Epic Story of the Bible, Greg Gilbert aims to teach Christians—or those interested in Christianity—what the Bible is and how to study it.

Così nell'Antico come nel Nuovo Testamento non ci sono interni: tutto si svolge fuori, all'aria aperta. Battaglie, amori, preghiere, sacrifici. Predicazioni, miracoli, morte e resurrezione.

In today's social media-saturated world, the word influence conjures up images of beautifully curated Instagram feeds or women who lead from the stage and have thousands of followers. It's measured by the number of likes and shares and how well we can get people to imitate us.
