About this listen
Audie Award Winner, Inspirational/Faith-Based Fiction, 2014
Based on the epic miniseries...
A Story of God and All of Us is a sweeping narrative that dramatizes some of the most important events and characters in the Bible. The book is narrated like a fine novel, dramatizing the sweep of biblical events, making the men and women of scripture come alive in vivid detail and dialogue. All are historically and theologically accurate. A 10-hour miniseries on the History Channel will be based on the story, and the script has been reviewed by a number of Christian church leaders and seminarians for authenticity. The book will be released one month prior to the debut of the television series. Many prominent biblical characters will be dramatized in the story: Moses, David, Daniel, John the Baptist and, of course, Jesus. The book will reveal the prophetic significance of the empires that controlled Israel: (Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians and Romans) and how these figured into biblical prophecy, especially concerning the Messiah.

Though based on New Testament accounts, including the four Gospels as well as the book of Acts, Son of God reads like a contemporary novel, delving deeply into the character of Jesus and the personalities and motives all of those who surround him, both his followers and his enemies. Grittily realistic, Son of God pulls no punches in conveying the harsh realities of Jesus's era.

Story
The most important words ever written are the Ten Commandments. These words changed the world when they were first presented at Mt. Sinai to Israelites, and they are changing it now. They are the foundation stones of Western civilization. Given their staggering importance, you would think that all societies, and certainly our educational and religious institutions, would be intent on studying them closely. Sadly, this is not the case.

The highlights of the Bible
If you could sum up A Story of God and All of Us in three words, what would they be?
Our great history!
What other book might you compare A Story of God and All of Us to and why?
The Bible :-)
Mark Burnett and Roma Downey did a great job picking some of the stories from the Bible to engage people to want to know more about the Bible.
If you could take any character from A Story of God and All of Us out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Paul, his testimony is amazing, but I would take anyone from this story. In all the stories, the people had such a deep faith that is hard to even fathom these days. If we thought we heard a voice out of a burning bush today, or a voice telling us to build a big boat to prepare for a flood, or to march around huge walls for several days, etc. people would think that we were crazy. Stories of amazing faith!!

An Epic Undertaking
What did you love best about A Story of God and All of Us?
It brought the Bible alive with outstanding characterization giving us a unique insight into their thoughts and emotions.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Noah was my favorite character. He was a very strong and brave man who gambled all on his belief in G.od
Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?
Sarah, was performed wonderfully and easy to sympathize with. Willing to give everything for the happiness of the man she loved yet unable to hide the resentment she felt. Then when her greatest wish was granted to think it would be ripped away from her ahhhhh unthinkable and it was played well.
If you could rename A Story of God and All of Us, what would you call it?
A Love Story written by God
Any additional comments?

Inspired and Encouraged
The narration was perfect, the stories were encapsulating but unique. I loved the interpretations as that is one of the beautiful elements of the Bible. You can read the same story as another, but you're interpretations can be completely different depending on your situation and what you need from the Word to be inspired and encouraged. I will definitely listen again...

Timeless stories, brilliant performance
I learned all of these stories and biblical history attending Catholic grade school and high school, but this audiobook presents the story of God and the Bible brilliantly. The stories and lessons are timeless. The narrator is the best, so authoritative and captivating.

Very moving
What made the experience of listening to A Story of God and All of Us the most enjoyable?
This story makes many stories that may be hard to understand if just read from the bible much more interesting and dramatic and I could not put it down
What other book might you compare A Story of God and All of Us to and why?
The bible I would think but that might be to specific but I think that might be my only comparison due to the fact that these stories are straight out of scripture and made to be more understandable to the average reader.
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
His was my first by Keith David but I thought his performance was very good never had difficulty with clarity and it was a recognizable Hollywood voice
Who was the most memorable character of A Story of God and All of Us and why?
Well I would say Jesus because he has always been my inspiration and to read histories like they were portrayed in this book was a complete joy and absolutely moving

Powerful Story - as good as the tv miniseries!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely - This included the essential stories of the bible and leaves the listener wanting more. A great way to become more encouraged to read the Bible. As a woman re-discovering her faith and wanting to know more, this story was a great way to become more intrigued about the mysteries that the Bible holds.
What other book might you compare A Story of God and All of Us to and why?
I am not familiar with any other book like this one.
Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?
Samson - the narrator gave a very power performance.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Not as extreme as I did watching the mini-series, but I did feel the same gut-wrenching feeling during the crucifixion.
