Product Description:
In Epic, a retelling of the gospel in four acts, John Eldredge invites us to revisit the drama of life, viewing God not only as the author but also as the lead actor, exploring His motives and His heart. Eldredge examines the power of story, the universal longing for a 'plot' that makes sense deep inside us, our desire for a meaningful role to play, our love of books and movies, and how all of this points us to the gospel itself.

If you've ever wondered why certain storylines like "happily ever after" and "good defeating evil" resonate with us so deeply, you will want to read this book. John Eldredge does a fantastic job of showing how the plots to our favorite books and movies all bring us back to the truth of God's Kingdom. Moreover, he shows how each of us have a special role to play in God's story. I highly recommend this book!

Someone who heard of my searchings regularily advised me to try reading some of Eldridge's books... boy were they on the ball!
I read Desire first, then Epic and I'm now about to Wake the Dead... but I believe that Epic is the book that composes of Eldridge's World View.

We learned about this in one of our Sunday School classes. As marketing and management professors, we've always been story tellers, and always encouraged our students to share their stories. This is for all of us who want to learn their role in the Greater Story, and how we can contribute to its ongoing development and fulfillment.
If you feel like you belong to someone, and to larger community that loves you and wants to hold you up, this short book is wonderful reminder that your ... Read More

This book helps the reader to see the whole story of what life is really about and what we are truly living for. This, in turn, instates purpose and excitement in everyday life. If you feel drained and wish there was something more to live for, then check out Epic.

For such a small book The Epic is a wonderfully inspiring read. It would be enjoyed by new Christians and folks who have lived the Christian life for many years. I just loved it as did my daughter and granddaughter. I think everyone in the world should read this book and it doesn't take much time to do it. I personally loved it and wish I could give everyone a copy.
