Most of us know the stories of the Bible (Noah's ark, Daniel in the lion's den, Balaam's talking donkey) but few of us can tell the overarching story of the whole Bible. What does Abraham have to do with Nehemiah? Why are there so many prophets? And why, if we are bold enough to admit it, does it seem like God has not kept his Old Testament promises of blessing and restoration? The Most Important Story in the World presents a connected narrative from garden (Genesis 3) to garden (Revelation 22) in rhyme that can be read aloud in 20 minutes. The book emphasizes the global scale of God's plan of redemption and how we fit within that plan. God not only wrote a story for us, he also invited us to be part of it.
The Most Important Story in the World is available as an ebook, paperback, and hardcover!

“With creative skill and theological awareness, Maxine McDonald has taken God’s grand narrative and delivered a succinct, rhythmic account of the greatest story ever told. In this impressive presentation, she accurately leads the reader from Genesis to Revelation—weaving through the canonical record while emphasizing the biblical text’s anchor points. But don’t be duped! This book is not merely for children. Perceptive adults will see God’s vibrant Word in its majestic grandeur. In doing so, the reader will understand McDonald’s claim: it truly is The Most Important Story in the World.”
