Epic (text) : the story God is telling and the role that is yours to play
PERSONAL_AUTHOR_EPSB:
John, Eldredge
Resumen:
When we think about our own story, we may see God as the author-an omniscient and omnipotent cosmic mastermind-but fail to recognize Him as the central character. "Epic" invites us to revisit the drama of life, viewing God not only as the author but also as the lead actor and exploring His motives and His heart. As Eldredge retells the gospel in four acts, he 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 to the gospel itself. According to Eldredge, this Story has four 'acts.' Act One deals with "Eternal Love" - that we were built for relationship by a God centered on relationship; Act Two deals with "The Entrance of Evil" - that there is a Villain (Satan) who makes the Story not nearly as 'safe as wed́ like to believe'; Act Three deals with the "Battle of the Heart" - that in this story, God is not a puppeteer but He allows us to make choices; and lastly, Act Four deals with "The Kingdom Restored" - that there is a happy ending, but only for the friends of God.
