FINDING HOPE IN CHRIST-INSPIRED STORIES

Welcome to Story Reborn. Here, we love stories, because we all belong to one great story. When we catch the slightest glimpse of it, sensing the telltale whiff of a pleasant but unknown fragrance, we are deeply touched by what author C.S. Lewis called "joy." In fact, most of us live each day desperately trying to connect with that greater story but never quite finding our place in it, never quite grasping "joy." Every truly noble pursuit in life is inspired by some piece of that grand metanarrative, and every societal ill can be traced back to a lost place in the great story.

Stories speak to us at a deep, spiritual level, whether we intend them to do so or not, because each is a blurred image of some piece of the true story, and we are part of that story—God’s story. Finding our place in that story is the single most important thing we will ever do in our lives, because all true lifeand hope (real, unshakeable hope)comes out of it.

Purified

Christ's Bride Made Ready

We've entered a time in history when the meaning of the word "Christian" is becoming lost as people try to live like the world while claiming the name of Christ. This pushes nonbelievers away and dishonors Jesus. The good news is, God will refine His people. In fact, He's doing it right now. Do you feel it? The question is, will you submit to the process until His image shines through, or will you find yourself fighting against God?

Heaven's Rain

Noah's Family and Their Journey of Faith

Take a leap of faith into a world unlike any you have ever known, one where mankind still remembers its foundations and angels and demons wage war for the souls of mankind. The shocking part is this: it’s our world. In this Christian fantasy epic, you will discover the true story behind the origins of the world and

experience the adventure of the times of the great biblical flood alongside Noah's family.

In this fight against the forces of darkness and the deep wounds of their own souls, they will face great sacrifice and tragedy if they hope to reach the reward. Some of them will not make the journey, and those who do will never be the same. If they are to succeed, they will need hope, which - in ancient earth - is a scarce commodity.

My Journey With Holy Spirit

Through Cancer & Other Battles

As seen on Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN)!

Take a journey with this prophetic artist as God carries her through spiritual battles we all face, and witness what happens when she meets the greatest trial of her life—cancer. In this story, miracles abound, and God's relentless love is on display at every turn.

 

Filled with practical insights for Christian living, this book will help you find hope in every hardship. You'll discover how to draw near to God with childlike faith and face the most intense trials with endurance and strength.

Move over J.R.R Tolkien, here comes Jonathan Macnab with an imaginative mind who uses it like a master craftsman. Every word is woven into thrilling drama with lots of suspense and even some tasteful romance. Awesome characters with a marvelous style of working in Bible truths during everyday conversations. It was inspiring to say the least!

HEAVEN'S RAIN

“WOW. That's all I can say. I've been following the Lord a long time, and I've heard it all, but this message convicted and challenged me. I'm a simple man, too, and I like to read books that make the message clear and don't complicate God's Word. The writer has made this book accessible to everyone. He gets to the point, and it builds your faith."

This 2.5 hour-long epic adventure begins in the fictional Amazon (no, not the perpetually rainy South American forest, though I used to… Read More »God in the Movies: Wonder Woman

God in the Movies: Justice League
Stories speak to our souls. But what do they say? Each is unique, but every story told by our bedsides as children, written in the pages of our favorite books, or shown on a screen appeals to us as humans at the level of our desires, capturing something of the hidden needs of our nature. I… Read More »God in the Movies: Justice League
