Book excerpt: When we pursue a higher view of God – when we seek his kingdom above all –we will soon discover that there is a Christian way of seeing everything else. And then we will have found the secret of a truly meaningful and satisfying life. Jesus revealed profound truth through simple stories and the Bible itself is the greatest storybook ever written. Here are stories about life, faith and our world. They’re stories about people –some famous and others unknown. Some of these folks are in the Bible – others might live in your neighborhood. Some are kings and presidents, some are prophets and disciples and some are athletes and soldiers. Others are just ordinary people discovering what it means to live in this world as it is. These are stories about hope and despair, joy and sadness, and triumph and tragedy. They are stories about love and longing, life and death, fear and courage, and about heaven and hell. They’re also about history, politics and current events; about the Bible, theology and the Church. To live for Christ is to live for him fully. And to live for Christ fully is to live for him everywhere and in everything. How important our faith is to us – and the difference it makes -- all depends on how we see it. Nothing matters more than this – and nothing changes us more than this. These stories remind us that to know Jesus Christ –to desire to be his true follower – is not just to see him more clearly. It is, through Christ, to see everything else.
