No Ordinary Story Leader's Guide (English)

This leader’s guide is for the No Ordinary Story series.

“No Ordinary Story” is a boxed series of eight booklets by John R. Cross that takes a reader through the Bible from creation to Christ, addressing the secular worldview with the uncompromising message of the gospel. Whether Gen Z, Millennial or Baby Boomer, this series' short chapters and small size make it easy for those who prefer to learn in small bites.

Assumptions: Assumes reader has little or no prior knowledge of the Bible.

Chronological: Begins with the creation of the universe, and then, progressing sequentially through key Old Testament stories, it moves into the New Testament to reveal the meaning of the cross and the tomb. The main story of the Bible is tied together into one universal, all-encompassing drama.

Objective: Allows the Bible to speak for itself in presenting the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no arm-twisting to believe. The message is presented objectively; the decision to believe or not to believe is left to the reader.

Bite-sized: Each book is 40 pages, broken into 10 chapters. This format keeps the content moving and readers can quickly move to the next booklet.

Richly illustrated: Uses either compelling and dramatic line art by Matt Almy or graphics on every two-page spread.

Videos: Includes 69 video segments to complement the teaching in the booklets.

Designed for Small Groups: This series is broken up into a number of booklets which are a great size for using in a small group study with unbelievers or believers, or in a Sunday School class.
