This book sits at the threshold of what your life could be if you give God control and let him change you and use you to change others. Don’t read unless you’re willing to be challenged, to be changed, and to come to a crossroads where you seriously ask yourself how God wants you to change the world.

St. Augustine said, “The New Testament lies hidden in the Old Testament and the Old Testament is unveiled in the New Testament.” In the One Story Guidebook you’ll learn how to study various genres of Scripture “Christocentrically.” A genre is a category of composition that has its own style or form and therefore its own rules of interpretation.

Over twenty-six weeks you’ll work through twenty-six selected passages organised by these genres. You’ll study five or six passages in a given compositional style so you can master that skill before moving on to learn a different part of the Bible. At the start of each new section, you’ll find tips on how to best study and understand that particular genre. In the workbook there’s plenty of room to mark up the texts, write notes, answer questions, and do all your self-study within the pages of the Guide.

Here is the opening premise:

There are seven billion people in the world. Seven billion stories. And yet there are themes in our stories that are universal: betrayal, love, romance, redemption, sacrifice . . . The question is if there’s a larger story or narrative to which all our stories relate, one that makes sense of our shared experience a common Back Story.

The booklet goes on to explain the back story which, of course, is the gospel:

• Intimacy: God created us to know him
• Betrayal: Humanity rebelled and sin separated us from God
• Anticipation: The Scriptures promise of a coming Deliverer
• Pursuit: The coming of Christ
• Sacrifice: Jesus death and resurrection
• Invitation: God invites us to return to him
• Reunion: The age to come, judgment and eternal life.

As you can see, Backstory provides a broader more comprehensive explanation of the gospel and thus a more compelling case for Christ. You can use the booklet to explain the gospel, stimulate a spiritual conversation, or give to someone as a read on your own gospel summary.

In seven engaging chapters, Keith Bubalo explains, in depth, what it means to Pledge: Lord Jesus, I surrender to you … and in the power of your Spirit… I will go where you want me to go…do what you want me to do… say what you want me to say…give what you want me to give…for your honor and glory, Amen.

Go Do Say Give is a biblical explanation of what it means to yield to Jesus as Lord, and experience his power in our lives each day. Yielding our lives to Christ, surrendering everything to Jesus, such phrases call for practical explanation and daily application, which GDSG faithfully provides. At the end of each chapter are questions for personal reflection, one on one mentoring, or small group discussion. As a ministry resource, GDSG communicates the Lordship of Jesus Christ in a transferable way.
