MANASSAS, Va. – The Bible is the best-selling book in history, but how many people in the Manassas area are actually reading it? A Gallup survey reports the average American household has four Bibles. However, research by Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life (2008) found that only 16 percent of Americans read the Bible every day.
Bethel Evangelical Lutheran Church is hoping to reverse this trend, starting with its own congregation. Pastor Jeffrey Wilson believes that The Story is the right tool to increase Biblical literacy, and help readers hear God’s story from Genesis to Revelation and how their own stories intersect with God’s. Consisting of 31 chapters of carefully-selected scriptures sequenced in chronological order, The Story presents the word of God in an engaging format, reading like a novel.

Orders for August must be picked up Saturday, Aug. 24, between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. at the agency, located at 8170 Flannery Court in Manassas.
