"Lively, insightful, and deeply profound—this is what we have come to expect from Andrew Wilson, and exactly what we find in this breath-taking sweep through the epic story of the whole Bible. Recommended for the newest and oldest believers, and all in between."
- Sam Allberry, Associate Pastor, Immanuel Nashville
"Andrew Wilson is a remarkably gifted writer and Bible teacher with a solid understanding of Christian theology, and in Gospel Stories (previously GodStories) he repeatedly uses fascinating examples from contemporary science, business, history, cinema, and just plain ordinary life to bring the entire scope of the Bible's teaching to life in refreshing new ways."
- Wayne Grudem, PhD, Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary
"Stories are the language of humanity and the primary language of Scripture. But somewhere in our attempts to distill only the principles, we've lost the narrative art so prevalent among God's people for thousands of years. Andrew Wilson is bringing it back. With insight grounded in orthodoxy and the manner of a friend over coffee, Andrew arrests our attention and captures our imagination. Perfect as a primer and rich as a reminder, Gospel Stories (previously GodStories) will make you fall in love with the living Word all over again."
- Glenn Packiam, Lead Pastor of Rockharbor Church in Costa Mesa, California
"This book is the best kind of biblical theology: showing the richness, beauty and unity of the Scriptures. Andrew Wilson really believes Jesus's words 'these Scriptures testify about me' which means this book isn't afraid to take some unfamiliar parts of scripture (as well as some familiar ones) and show their place in the Bible's rich portrait of Christ. Like a 'taster menu' in a fancy restaurant, each chapter is rich and satisfying, worth taking time over, yet also leaves us wanting more - to go and search the Scriptures ourselves. The 26 short chapters on the Old Testament alone are worth the price of the book, and form a superb overview this less familiar half of the Bible. This book will not just stretch our minds, but more importantly, warm our hearts. Each chapter gives a beautiful new angle onto our saviour who is 'altogether lovely', so slow down, take time, and taste and see that the Lord is good."
- Matt Searles, author and songwriter
"Andrew Wilson is one of the most skilled Christian writers of our generation. Allow me to unpack that for a moment, as I invite you to prayerfully consider someone in your life who could benefit from Wilson's new book.
'Christian' - the gospel shines from every chapter. In Gospel Stories, you'll find 57 short, devotional narratives from Genesis to Revelation, each revealing how Jesus is present throughout all of Scripture, and how God's redemptive plan is fulfilled in Christ. This is biblical theology in full color: clear, compelling, Christ-exalting, and hope inducing.
'Writer' - not just a pastor who writes, but a master craftsman in his element...Wilson's skill with a turn of phrase shines through every page, pulling you deeper into the story of redeeming grace. Balancing insight and accessibility, his storytelling holds your attention, ignites your imagination, and engages your emotions.
'Our generation' - a book for distracted souls. Wilson is a writer for the non-reader...[he] writes to the tired parent, with five precious minutes of peace before their toddler wakes up; to the college student, who's attention span has been hijacked by the mesmerizing glow of increasingly addictive algorithms; and to the new believer, looking for an on-ramp to the Bible.
Who in your life needs to (re)discover the gospel?"
- Josiah Pettit, Director, Westminster Bookstore
