Cru Press just released a new gospel presentation tool called “Backstory”.  You can download it here.  It is based off of a tool that came out about ten  years ago called “Life at Large”.  It comes at the Gospel from a bit of a different angle than the Knowing God Personally Booklet and it more drawn out.  Take a look at it and leave some comments letting us know what you think.  Are you interested in trying it out?  Are there situations you think it would work well in?  Not work well in?
