Telling The Big Story

In Telling The Big Story, Lucy Marfleet offers an engaging, inclusive approach to presenting the Bible in just 60 minutes.

Born out of a successful event at Histon Baptist Church, this resource is designed to bring people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities together to explore the overarching narrative of Scripture.

Packed with practical guidance, scripts, and ideas, the book empowers church communities to share the Bible in an accessible, interactive way.

Whether you’re looking for a way to involve the whole congregation or spark fresh interest in biblical stories, Telling the Big Story is a creative, inspiring tool to bring the Bible to life.

Lucy Marfleet is a writer whose irrepressible purpose is to listen closely to God to help build his kingdom, equipping Christians with biblical insight and practical solutions.  She is a trained teacher and has also worked with young offenders, youth groups and those with additional needs. She is an engaging speaker and avid reader, never taking herself too seriously.

'How wonderful, a resource that actively promotes inclusion and thinks carefully about how to enable this so you are equipped to do it.'
Jonathan Bryan, author of Eye Can Write; A Memoir of a Child’s Silent Soul Emerging

'I am so happy that this book wants to tell the Big story of the Bible. I love that it uses Easy Read as well to simplify it.'
Heidi Crowter, Advocate for Down Syndrome

'Telling the Big Story is a fantastic resource for communicating just that: the big story of the Bible. Everything you need to tell that story in 60 minutes in a local church context, involving the differing gifts of an entire congregation, is here. While the script itself is impressive in its accessibility, the surrounding resources contain answers to those inevitable questions one asks when using someone else’s idea—and believe me, that’s rare! Lucy Marfleet’s passion for communicating the Bible and pointing to the God who is revealed in its pages is everywhere in this wonderful book. I warmly commend it; it will bring the Bible to life wherever it is used.'
The Rev Canon James Blandford-Baker
