FROM THE BACK COVER:

“We cannot escape our deepest desire. The human heart longs for many things—love, joy, peace, abundance­—but it longs for one thing even more: to experience a love story with God. In his debut work, Bob Wheatley reveals that all our favorite stories provide whispers of this truth. 

Why do we tell the same stories again and again? What is it about the hero, the villain, and the love interest in distress that continues to draw us in? Are these just storytelling tactics, or do they teach us something more? The truth is, our stories reveal the cry of our heart—we want to live out this story ourselves. 

With references to The Dark Knight, The Hunger Games, Friends, and dozens of other stories from popular culture, Wheatley walks readers through the three acts of storytelling, revealing how every story we tell is a reflection of God’s ultimate love story.”
