Every man is a book in which God himself writes.
You and I are characters in God's Story, handmade by Him. Every character serves a purpose.
We are but a point, a single comma, and God is the literature of eternity.
I think, in the grand epic, Jesus is the hero of our stories. And our stories, as they were, are subplots in a grand epic and our job is not to be the hero of any story. Our job is to be a saint in a story that he is telling.
A human life is a story told by God.
The Bible tells a story. A story that isn’t over. A story that is still being told. A story that we have a part to play in.
And the Bible is not primarily a book of history. It is "His story," the story of God.
God is telling an amazing, glorious, epic story. We have to decide if we will trust Him with it.
I have a vision of artists putting into film, drama, literature, music, and paintings great themes and great characters from the Book of Mormon.
God loves a great story, and all of us who know Him will recall and celebrate and continue to live in that story for all eternity.
If we think that this life is all there is to life, then there is no interpretation of our problems, our pain, not even of our privileges. But everything changes when we open up to the possibility that God's story is really our story too.
God is the larger context and plot in which our stories find themselves.
I sometimes imagine a great writer as a sort of God-surrogate: the writer is doing his or her human-best to emulate what God might think of is, if God was inclined to observe some human beings and present their activities in the form of a narrative.
The truths of the Scriptures are so marked and inimitable, that the inventor would be more of a miraculous character than the hero.
