When I was a student, history seemed boring. Over and done. Pointless lists of dates and wars and people long dead — events that had little to do with my own life. History only became fascinating when I began to see events as scenes in HIS story (HIStory) — God revealing His ultimate purposes through time. As it turns out, God is a master storyteller!
Most classic stories begin, “Once upon a time” (or, “In the beginning, God”) by describing an original story-world—an ideal world in which often the key characters do not appreciate what they have until it is lost. We identify with characters who want things they cannot have.
