The Plan, the Fall, and the Very Good News A 3 Circles Bible Storybook

Reading the Bible and understanding the gospel can be as easy as counting to three!

Author and pastor Jimmy Scroggins developed the three circles method as a simple way for people of all ages to understand and share the gospel. This unique Bible storybook shows young readers a new way to approach each story by recognizing the distinct parts of the 3 circles method—God’s perfect plan, the fall, and the very good news—Jesus!

Filled with quirky illustrations, this collection of twenty-one stories—from Earth’s creation to Paul’s conversion—was chosen to show the three circles pattern throughout the big story of the Bible. No matter the testament, book, or chapter, Jesus is the answer to the world’s brokenness.

After reading through The Plan, the Fall, and the Very Good News (alone or with the family), readers will be able to apply the three circles method to other Bible stories. And, most important, they’ll be able to share with others the simple and wonderful message of the gospel.
