Top Events in Liverpool
Liverpool's reputation for putting on a good show is Giant.
Every year, thousands line the streets to see what's in store. From a massive deep sea diver puppet to three Cunard Cruise Liners dancing on the River Mersey.
There's events going on in Liverpool all day every day. It's part of what we're known for. Whether it's Gymnastic championships or a worldwide name at the M&S Bank Arena, a giant Brazilian Carnival or a celebration of Cosplay, we like to host to biggies.
Liverpool is a city that is constantly changing, so there'll always be something new standing alongside our old favourites. From the biggest horse racing event of the year, The Grand National at Aintree to the ever-changing Liverpool Biennial Festival of contemporary art.
Liverpool International Music Festival, Beatlemania at Beatleweek, the oldest standing philharmonic orchestra - who play Cream classics by the way - West End musicals visit for a stop off at our beautiful theatres, and world-class artists come to exhibit in our many museums and galleries.
We're very busy, all year round. Best of all, we host these events with PRIDE.
If you're looking for BIG events, then Liverpool is the right place.

Late on Thursday 9th July 2020, Sony announced buying a minority stake of $250 million in Epic Games, the gaming company that created Fortnite. Here are the details of the deal as the story is still developing.
According to a report from Business Wire, the two companies, Sony and Epic Games, jointly announced the deal. The game publisher is almost valued at $17 billion, thus, making Sony's investment a minority stake.
However, the deal will likely lead to future collaborations between Sony and Epic Games. While the details are not yet clear, a gaming experience created by the union of these two companies will be epic.

– Meet In A Virtual Auditorium As Microsoft Teams Announces Together Mode
The companies acknowledged that this investment will 'broaden' collaboration. With Sony's assets and technology coupled with Epic's entertainment platform, the duo could be out to make something truly outstanding.
Tim Sweeney, Epic CEO and founder mentioned that both Epic Games and Sony are eyeing 'real-time 3D social experiences leading to a convergence of gaming, film and music'. There are speculations that this may mean that Sony will now own Epic Games' titles; limiting it to only PlayStation consoles.
Sweeney allayed these fears and assured the public that Epic Games will still be available on other gaming platforms. The two companies have also been working together before now. Epic's founder seems to be a big fan of PlayStation and he has publicly heaped praise on the coming PS5 console.
Epic Games and Sony calling this $250 million investment a minority stake clearly shows how big the former has grown. In 2012, $330 million had been enough for Tencent to buy up to 40 per cent stake in Epic Games. But with the growing popularity of its Fortnite franchise, this will likely also count as a minority stake in 2020.

Grenze Deutschland/Tschechische Republik
First sub-area in the river Elbe after crossing the Czech-German border
The sub-area is located in the upper reaches of the Elbe in the water gap where the river cuts through the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. This is the last time the river crosses mountains. The German headwaters start with a wide meander before the river turns to the northwest again. The Elbe still has the distinct character of an upland river and erosion exceeds sedimentation. Gradually the slope decreases.
In this section the river is straightened and reinforced by coarse gravel. No transverse structures or barrages obstruct the waterway.
In the sub-area 'Grenze Deutschland/Tschechische Republik' (border Czech Republic-Germany) the contaminant load of the Elbe at its entry to Germany can be measured.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) to Mount Sinai Laboratory (MSL), Center for Clinical Laboratories for an antibody test that was developed, validated, and launched at Mount Sinai by a team of internationally renowned researchers and clinicians of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. This test detects the presence or absence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and importantly, may also be used to identify positive specimens with an antibody tier (level) up to a dilution of 1:2880 for the identification of individuals with higher antibody titers.
The Research toward the Test
The research team, led by Florian Krammer, PhD, Professor of Microbiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, began working on the serologic test in January, 2020 before COVID-19 had been seen in the United States.
The research team used animal cells to produce compies of the telltale "spike" protein that is present on the surface of SARS-CoV-2. That protein is highly immunogenic, meaning that people's immune cells see it and start making antibodies that can lock onto it. The test involves exposing a sample of blood to bits of the spoke protein. If the test "lights up," it means that person has the antibodies. Similar to the most commonly used tests for other viruses, such as hepatitis B, this test shows whether a person's immune system has come into contact with SARS-CoV-2.
Dennis S. Charney, MD, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Dean of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and President for Academic Affairs of the Mount Sinai Health System, noted, "This important regulatory authorization reflects the success of a truly translational medical effort by our basic scientists, pathologists, and clinicians who have risen to the occasion and combined their unparalleled expertise in a way that will help the community at large as we fight this terrible disease."
Superior Test
Dr. Krammer reports that the test could be more responsive than others noting, "Our test can pick up from the body's response to infection, in some cases as early as three days post-symptom onset, and is highly specific and sensitive." He continued "We have shared the toolkit needed to set the test with more than 200 research laboratories worldwide to help mitigate this global crisis.
Erik Lium, PhD, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Innovation Officer of the Mount Sinai Health System. He noted, "We continue to broadly partner this technology with industry, recognizing the need to scale serologic testing effectively."
Technology Transfer & Validation
One the research test was developed in Dr. Krammer's microbiology lab, Mount Sinai's pathology and laboratory medicine experts were able to quickly transfer the technology to the Mount Sinai Hospital's Clinical Laboratories, which are certified by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments and accredited by the College of American Pathologists, signifying that the laboratory meets or exceeds industry standards for clinical laboratory testing. The test was then validated in this highly regulated laboratory environment under the guidance of Carlos Cordon-Cardo, MD, PhD, Irene Heinz Given and John LaPorte Given Professor and Chair of Pathology, Molecular and Cell-Based Medicine.
Mount Sinai Hospital one of the First
Mount Sinai make other news recently as under the leadership of David L. Reich, https://www.mountsinai.org/about/hospital-presidents/david-l-reich MD, President of the Mount Sinai Hospital, and Judith A. Aberg, MD, Chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases and Immunology in the Department of Medicine, the Mount Sinai Hospital became among the very first in the nation to initiate a convalescent plasma program this on Saturday, March 28.
Lead Research/Investigator
Florian Krammer, PhD, Professor of Microbiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

UMaine's Vachon concerned for foreign players due to COVID-19 protocols, travel ban
BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - If there are sports this school year, there is concern at UMaine for their athletes from Europe and Asia.
We spoke with UMaine women's basketball coach, Amy Vachon, who is extremely impacted by COVID-19 protocols with seven European players on her roster.
Vachon had been concerned about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's decision to deport international students if schools went to full online classes again.
"At the University of Maine we are going to a hybrid model in the fall," says UMaine head women's basketball coach Amy Vachon, "What happens if there is a spike and everything shuts down?"
After getting sued by Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a total of 8 federal lawsuits, the Trump administration rescinded the rule.
"The travel ban is still in effect. That's been in effect since March," says Vachon, "Our student athletes who went home, specifically to the European union, are not able to enter the United States."
While their seasons are still up in the air, as far as return to play, UMaine women's hoops is not the only program impacted with European players unable to return right now. Men's hockey has 6 players, women's hockey has 11, Black Bears soccer has 6 players, and men's basketball has 7 European players.
"A lot of anxiety, a lot of frustration, you know it's really hard," says Vachon, "There's been so many things in the last few months that we cannot control. That's a really hard thing. This is just one more, one more of those. so not being able to return to their second home. You know, a place they love so dearly, to be with their teammates, it's tough."

Second place for the boaters went to Brent Anderson from Kingston, Springs Tennessee. He landed five fish weighing in at 21.53 pounds. Anderson was awarded $500 for his catch.

|Kuraun Kuraun 's Beta Reader Profile
Author has written 18 stories | Naruto, and D.Gray-Man.
|Beta Bio: general description as a beta reader
As a betareader, my goal is to provide fellow writers with the resources they need to be successful in their writing. I will help any writer who is seeking my services, regardless of their level of experience. I am also willing to work with beginning writers who are in need of advice and encouragement. While reading through others' work, I will automatically correct any grammatical or spelling errors that I find. I do ask that you check your work prior to sending it to me, however. When contacting me, it is also helpful to hear of any concerns the author has regarding their work. These will be the areas that I focus the most on to insure that the writer's needs are met.
|My Strengths: beta, writing, or reading strengths
I am good with finding and fixing spelling and grammatical errors. I can also help writers who are learning English as a second language or may not grasp a clear understanding of the rules that are involved with writing. The categories that I am offering my services to are ones that I am expert at and up to date with, so I am familiar with the canon characters and can determine if they are true to form or not. I can also help writers who have issues or concerns with their plot. Spoilers will not bother me, as my job is to help you. I am also willing to help writers who are inserting their own characters into their works. I am actively writing one myself, so I can help writers with characterization and other issues regarding their OC fics. (I will not criticize your character - promise!)
|My Weaknesses: beta, writing, or reading weaknesses
Because I generally do not read or write about romance, my experience there is lacking. I do well with keeping characters true to their form, however, so I can help writers in that area.
|Preferred: types of stories I prefer over others
At the present time, I have no preferences, as long as they meet my criteria. I will beta for authors using original characters just as much for others using canon.
|Would Rather Not: I do not beta for these stories
I will not betaread stories that are rated M.
|Language: English
|Content Rating: Fiction K » T
|Categories: categories in black are ones this beta has authored for
|Genres: genres in black are ones this beta has authored for

September 8th, 2018 4:00 PM

August 2nd, 2018 5:14 PM
WASHINGTON — It has been a pretty good week for Donald Trump. The economy is growing faster than anyone on the left or in the middle or among the Never-Trumpers believed possible. Inflation is low, and employment is at a record high. Moreover, the president and the European Union reached an understanding on trade last week that signals the likely end of a trade war, at least with Europe.

Good News Vs. Private Conversations
January 18th, 2018 2:55 PM

The Big Story: How the Bible Makes Sense out of Life192
Paperback(New Edition)
How would you explain your life to a stranger?When strangers meet today, they often ask not, "What do you do?" but, "What is your story?" Everybody on the planet believes some larger story in order to make sense of the smaller story of his or her life. We want our lives to fit within a larger plot—a plot full of history, forward movement, and future.So, the better question to ask is, "What sort of story are you in?"Most people believe false stories that leave them disillusioned, enslaved, and hopeless. Secular stories of chasing success and religious stories of doing good works leave us feeling exhausted and empty. Only Christianity offers a story that's big enough to make sense of both the beauty and brokenness in our lives and in our world.

The Big Story
How the Bible Makes Sense Out of Life
By Justin Buzzard, Bailey Utecht
Moody PublishersCopyright © 2013 Justin Buzzard
All rights reserved.
Recently I was invited by an old friend to join him and six other men and climb Mount Rainier outside of Seattle, Washington—all 14,410 feet of it. I flew north and joined them, strapped on my crampons and backpack, hoisted my ice axe, and started climbing.
It was the hardest thing I have ever done.
This mountain is covered in ice, blanketed in glaciers, with crevasses hundreds of feet deep. Some people might try to convince you those are called crevices, but I'm telling you, those on Mount Rainier are crevasses, and they will kill a man. Toting dozens of pounds of clothing and gear up that mountain was exhausting, petrifying, and thrilling.
The main reason my old friend asked me to join him and the other guys on the climb was to talk about Jesus. See, these other guys don't know Jesus, and he wanted me to tell them about Him. My old friend is a former Marine and he figured the best place to have good conversation about Jesus with a bunch of tough guys was on top of a freezing mountain. So, when I wasn't terrified of falling into a crevasse and dying, I told these men what I know about Jesus.
Everyone has a reaction to Jesus. He isn't someone who can be ignored. Love Him or hate Him, you must respond to Him.
Here are some examples of how a few famous people thought of Jesus.
"I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it, which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book. But the reality is that organized religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate." —Elton John
"The example of Jesus suffering is a factor in the composition of my un-dying faith in non-violence. What then does Jesus mean to me? To me, He was one of the greatest teachers humanity has ever had." —Mahatma Gandhi
"Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first—rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary." —John Lennon
"I'm a Muslim, but I think Jesus would have a drink with me. He would be cool. He would talk to me." —Mike Tyson
So Jesus is a good idea even if His followers aren't so great. Or maybe He is a fantastic example and a dynamic teacher. It could be that He is just a passing fad who will fade away. (It seems like two thousand years of popularity indicate that's not the case.) Or maybe, regardless of our worldview, Jesus is a cool guy to hang out with. That's what these guys thought.
How do you react to Jesus? We are all looking for someone or something to follow. What do you think about the idea of following Jesus?
The reason Jesus elicits such powerful reactions is simple and profound: Jesus disturbs our lives. To disturb means "to interfere with the normal arrangement." People have to respond to Jesus because He shows up in their lives and starts to interfere. Jesus doesn't leave things as they are; He both attracts people to Himself and meddles with their lives.
The Bible contains four biographies (also called "Gospels") about the life of Jesus. In one of those biographies, the book of Mark, we see Jesus doing His disturbing work of simultaneously attracting people to Himself and meddling with their lives. Feel free to read this part of the Bible as I've printed it below, or get your hands on a Bible and read these verses—and all following verses—from the pages of your own Bible (that way you can better explore the surrounding context).
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."
Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men." And immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him. (Mark 1:14–20)
Jesus arrives on the scene with a message, an attractive message. It's a message people can't get enough of. He comes "proclaiming the gospel of God," that is, the good news of God.
Most people in your context think that Christianity is all about advice—that it's a list of "dos and don'ts." They couldn't be more wrong.
We react far differently to news than we do to advice. Imagine a young wife who, nine months earlier, sent her husband off to war. It's been a devastating, frightening, and lonely nine months. But a good friend gives her some sound and helpful advice to help her through. The friend tells her, "Be patient. Stay busy. Find yourself a good hobby and some projects to fill your time until your husband comes home. Keep writing him those letters. Stay strong."
How is the young wife going to react? She'll likely appreciate the advice and try to absorb it. It will be a help of sorts, but the advice doesn't produce joy or relief.
Imagine, though, the same young wife in the same situation. Imagine that same friend coming over, but instead of offering good advice she speaks good news: "Did you hear the news? The war is over! Your husband is coming home! He's coming back!"
How will that young wife respond? Will she break down and cry tears of relief? Will she run into her friend's arms, screaming and celebrating? One thing is certain, she will rejoice! People react differently to hearing good news than they do when hearing good advice. Advice gives people more work to do. Good news gives people freedom.
Jesus didn't come with advice for us to absorb and follow; He came with news. The word gospel means "good news." It is news that brings joy. The gospel is history-making, life-shaping, paradigm-shattering news. It is news about something done in history that changes you, that changes everything, forever. Jesus does something so radical, so violent, so dramatic, and it seals this good news and makes a way for us to join the Big Story.
It is this news that makes Jesus so attractive and that separates Him from all other religions. He didn't come dispensing advice on how to clean yourself up and make yourself better. He didn't offer a list of action items or set of instructions about things you must do to find God, freedom, rest, or peace. No. Jesus came saying that you can be known, loved, set free, forgiven, and made new.
This new life is open to anyone. Anyone can be made new, made clean, set free, given a relationship with the living God. And it is free. There is no earning it. It is yours, no strings attached. The gospel says all this has been done. There isn't any more doing to do. It's not advice, so don't treat the gospel like mere advice. Jesus came, lived, died, and rose again to earn the way to God, freedom, rest, and peace for you.
Nobody else has ever spoken this way, arriving on the scene and offering news of a new life instead of advice on how to achieve a better life. Founders of other religions and worldviews ask you to do something—to perform and obey—to bring your doing to the table in order to enjoy the benefits of karma, nirvana, inner peace, a better future, salvation, or whatever the benefit might be. Christianity is the one faith whose founder tells us not to bring Him our doing, but our need.
The Search for a True Story
But there is more to this story. It is not enough to merely say that Jesus brings true news and good news. No, we must know His story—how His existence, arrival, teaching, and deeds fit within human history.
Jesus is part of a much larger story, an epic story. This story has all the makings of the best, truest stories—conflict, tension, and drama. It comes with that essential, "Uh-oh, how will this be resolved?" ingredient that all the best books and movies have.
When Jesus shows up in Mark 1, He says, "The time is fulfilled" (v. 15). What is fulfilled? What time? See, God has been doing something throughout all of history, through this Big Story told in the Bible, and Jesus is the apex and fulfillment of that story. All the "uh-oh" moments are resolved in Jesus Christ.
Each one of us has a story that we believe, one we use to make sense of our lives and our world. Some of us draw our stories from family legacy while others try to escape the story of their family. Some live the stories of pursuing success, fame, or wealth. Some of us want to live the story of a hero but are stuck in what seems like a boring story. Some of us fit our lives into a story taught by a religion or a philosopher or thinker we admire. Some of us attach ourselves to the dominant storyline of the city we live in, chasing pleasure in Las Vegas or power in Washington, D.C. We may not even be aware of it or ever have even thought of it in those terms, but it is true. We can't live without a sense of story. The best way I know to get this across is to again share a quote from the Introduction:
The same impulse that makes us want our books to have a plot makes us want our lives to have a plot. We need to feel that we are getting somewhere, making progress. There is something in us that is not satisfied with a merely psychological explanation of our lives. It doesn't do justice to our conviction that we are on some kind of journey or quest, that there must be some deeper meaning to our lives than whether we feel good about ourselves. Only people who have lost the sense of adventure, mystery, and romance worry about their self-esteem. And at that point what they need is not a good therapist, but a good story. Or more precisely, the central question for us should not be, "What personality dynamics explain my behavior?" but rather, "What sort of story am I in?"
There is only one true story that can make sense of all we encounter in this broken and beautiful world. I call this the Big Story. It's the story of the Scriptures. I am going to lay all my cards on the table and state clearly what Jesus tells us, what the Scriptures tell us, and what I have come to believe: You cannot be free until you come under the reign of the Scriptures, until you accept and live into the Big Story. For those of you who don't believe this story, I'm not asking you to accept it right now. What I am asking is for you to consider this story, to examine it and try it on. Explore and see if this story is true. I want you to test the Big Story against whatever story you're using right now to make sense out of your life.
Your Story and Starting in the Middle
Some of the best stories are ones that don't start at the beginning. They jump in at the middle and draw us in by introducing the best characters and the most dramatic moments without revealing the beginning or the ending just yet. Jesus is the most important character in our stories. His life dramatically shapes our stories. There is no happy ending (or happy middle) without Jesus being the main character in our story, the leading man, the driving force.
And so, in one sense, this book starts in the middle of the story so that you can meet the main character and begin to know Him and trust Him. I want to give away the climax, the most important and dramatic part of this story, but this story needs a beginning, so we will go there next. Because every great story needs not only a great main character, but a strong start. Let's take the first step of our climb up the mountain, and begin Act 1.
STORY CONTRAST (JESUS VS.______________): At the center of the big story stands Jesus, whose love both disturbs us and frees us. What, or who, stands at the center of the stories people around you believe? In what ways does having Jesus at the center of the story make for a better story?
ACTION STEP: Draw your life story. Get out a piece of paper, draw a line across the center of the page, and graph the most significant moments of your life. Aim to graph about ten significant moments, like in the example below. What patterns do you notice? Who or what has most significantly shaped your story? How does your story fit within the Big Story?
RECOMMENDED READING: Tim Keller, Counterfeit Gods: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power, and the Only Hope That Matters (Dutton, 2009). My friend Eric bought about one thousand copies of this book, and he gives copies away to everyone he can. You'd like my friend Eric, and you'd like this book.
"I had always felt life a story, and if there is a story there is a storyteller."
—G. K. Chesterton

"The world does not revolve around you."
—AnonymousCHAPTER 2
Have you ever read a book that changed your life? Sometimes it doesn't take a whole book, but just a sentence. When I was twenty years old, I asked for cash for Christmas, but instead my mom gave me a book. At first I was disappointed, but then I began reading. The book was by A. W. Tozer and was called The Knowledge of the Holy, and on the first page sat a sentence that changed my life.
What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.
This is a bold claim. It makes sense. Think about it. What you think about God is the most important thing about you because it shapes everything else in your life. What you believe (or don't believe) about God drives how you live. If you think of God as a thunderbolt-throwing deity, watching everything you do and waiting for you to misbehave so He can blast you, that's going to cause you to live with quite a bit of fear and anxiety. Or if you think of God as a Santa Claus in the sky who exists to give you gifts and entertain, that's going to cause you to live as though God exists to serve your every wish and need. But if you have a true view of God, a biblical view, that will greatly affect how you live as well. A true view of God will both radically disturb your life and set you free. What comes into your mind when you think about God is the most important thing about you. It will shape your life and shape the epitaph written on your gravestone.
Recently while I was working on some ideas for a sermon, I walked to a cemetery about a half-mile from my house. I'm a little odd that way; when I want ideas, I take walks where people are buried. In the corner of this old cemetery, there were two gravestones that caught my attention. The first was a large marble gravestone that read:
Mrs. Susan Armes
Born 1787
And Passed to Higher Life 1875
Just a few yards away from this stone was a small, simple gravestone that had this inscription:
Little Ernest
Beloved son of J & L Rockwell
Do you ever think about what happened to the people buried in cemeteries? Where did they go once they quit breathing? Mrs. Susan Armes lived eighty-eight years on this earth, and Little Ernest lived eleven years—then what? Little Ernest's gravestone says nothing about life after death, but the eighty-eight-year-old's gravestone says that she "Passed to Higher Life." Do we believe that, that there is a higher life on the other side of death? Every thinking person should have a list of life questions, and at the top of that list should be the question, "Does God exist, and if so, what is He like?"
Does God exist?
If so, what is He like?
We started exploring the Big Story in Chapter 1, but we didn't start at the beginning. We started with Jesus. Like many moviemakers do, we started with a key point in the plot of this story, and now we're going to go back to the beginning and see how it's all set up. I laid out the premise that all people live their lives believing some kind of story to make sense out of their life. Where I live is a lot like where you live—it's a mixture of stories. My city is a mixture of people who all believe very different stories that give very different answers to questions about life, death, and divinity. Amid this diversity, for thousands of years, men and women from all corners of the globe have discovered that the God revealed in the Bible is the one Storyteller whose storytelling rings true and satisfying. This storytelling begins with the first four words of the Bible.
Act 1: God
A book can change your life. A sentence can change your life. And sometimes just four words can change your life. The Bible begins with four powerful words that affect everything:
Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning, God ..."
This is Act 1 of the Bible. Act 1 is about God. Every act of the Big Story is mainly about God (instead of being mainly about us), but four acts are about both God and us. Act 1 is unique. Act 1 is exclusively about God.
We often insist on living as if we are the beginning, the origin, the primary character. We live life under the banner of "In the beginning, me." But the Bible doesn't begin with "In the beginning, Justin," or "In the beginning, [insert your name here]." It boldly states, "In the beginning, God."

What People are Saying About This
I think we need to be reminded every single day that we are part of a Bigger Story, part of something greater than ourselves, and that each of our stories matter—a great deal. To be reminded of that truth is to live in Hope. The Big Story gives the reader that gift of Hope.
Sally Lloyd-Jones, author of The Jesus Storybook Bible and Thoughts To Make Your Heart Sing
A good story needs a good teller. And Justin Buzzard fits that bill. He not only explains the Bible's dynamic plot, but draws us persuasively into the greatest story ever told—with arresting images and vivid analogies that connect our stories to The Big Story. In the process, you'll find yourself being swept into a world you didn't make and therefore can't unmake. It's good news in a bad news world.
Michael Horton, Professor of Theology, Westminster Seminary California, co-host of the White Horse Inn, and author of Pilgrim Theology: Core Doctrines for Christ's Disciples
I cannot overemphasize the desperate need to retell the amazing storyline of the Bible and our place in that story to new generations. Without this, it is far too easy to drift into unfortunate pathways and dead ends which are sadly missing the beauty of the story God has for us. I am very thankful for Justin's book which gives direction to a world in need of understanding the true way, and the true story.
Dan Kimball, pastor Vintage Faith Church, author of They Like Jesus but Not The Church
The overarching theme of scripture, of course, is the life of Jesus. What makes this new book by Justin Buzzard so good is that it not only highlights the incredible story of scripture, but it shows us how our story fits neatly in Jesus' story. As we understand Jesus' story, and our place in it, we are motivated to join God on mission, sharing Jesus' story with the world. This book is a great asset to God's kingdom work.
Ed Stetzer, President of LifeWay Research
You don't need to read this entire book. Just try the first few pages. I predict you'll have a hard time putting it down. Justin Buzzard knows the Greatest Story well, and he knows how to retell it in a way that can be compelling to those who have never heard it and refreshing to those of us who need to hear it again and again. Try it and see.
Justin Taylor, co-author, The Final Days of Jesus, blogger, "Between Two Worlds"
There are great stories and great storytellers. But there is nothing like "The Big Story". Justin Buzzard captures the compelling drama of the Bible in a way that demands your attention, and ultimately, your allegiance. If you have been skeptical about the message of the Bible, or if you have found its story confusing, sit down with this book immediately. You will quickly see how your story needs to intersect with "The Big Story"."
J. Paul Nyquist, Ph.D., President of Moody Bible Institute
Fundamental to human existence is the question of identity and purpose. Who am I? Why am I here? Justin Buzzard, in his book, The Big Story, helps us to find our place in the unfolding drama of life. As the narrative unfolds, get ready to be compellingly called on stage to be a character in the adventure that Buzzard calls the "Big Story".
Bryan Loritts, Lead Pastor, Fellowship Memphis and author of A Cross-Shaped Gospel
"Epic" is too small a word for the story of God's work in this world. Justin shares the one big story so you can see the scarlet thread of Jesus' atoning sacrifice through the tapestry of the Bible. Where does this scarlet thread intersect your life? Rejoice as you read in The Big Story that you're not the center of the universe, and worship Jesus as you learn more about our Savior who set the stars in place and numbered the hairs on your head.
Gloria Furman, author of Glimpses of Grace
Is this Bible a book of rules? Is it an instruction manual for Christians? I was taught both growing up in a nominally "Christian" family. What I would later discover is that the Bible was neither of those things. Rather, the Bible is God's grand narrative of humanity's continued desire to carve their own path, and God's overwhelming love and continued intervention when our way finally fails us.
The Bible is the story of God's great love for His creation, what He once called "very good." And this incredible story culminates in the coming of Jesus, and our being invited, through Him, to find our true place in His story. My friend Justin captures this with earnestness, care and clarity as he paints for us the beautiful picture of what God is doing in the world, and where we find our place in His story.
Leonce Crump II, Lead Elder, Renovation Church
The story of the gospel is the most compelling aspect of our faith, and this book winsomely captures the heart of what makes it so attractive. It addresses life's greatest struggles and longings with rock-solid truth conveyed through God's redemption narrative in the Bible.
Matt Carter, Pastor of Preaching and Vision at the Austin Stone Community Church and co-author of The Real Win: A Man's Quest for Authentic Success
