What’s your favorite story of all time? It could be a Tom Clancy or Stephen King novel, or maybe your favorite book from childhood. It amazes me the way that stories, from Batman to Star Wars, captivate people so profoundly. What if it’s not just a matter of entertainment, but ties into a grander narrative – one that encompasses even the seemingly boring aspects of our lives?

Well, today on Simple Faith, we’ll take a look at some of my favorite stories and dig into this concept, exploring the fundamental elements of storytelling – the hero, the villain, the guide, and the goal – and how they relate to the ultimate story being told throughout human history, starting from the Garden of Eden.
