FaithWords Author Joe Amaral Reveals God's Design and Plan for Our Universe in New Book 'Story in the Stars'

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Have you ever looked up into the night sky and wondered why there are so many stars? There are hundreds and hundreds of billions of them. Why? What purpose could they possibly serve? They seem to be positioned without rhyme or reason. In the midst of all those scattered stars, images have not only emerged but have been recorded and preserved by every major civilization since the dawn of time.

In the new book STORY IN THE STARS: Discovering God's Design and Plan for Our Universe, author, filmmaker, pastor and TV personality Joe Amaral provides an in-depth look at the powerful story and symbolism behind God's unique design of our universe. Amaral has been speaking worldwide on the topic for several years, and previously released a documentary DVD under the same name. Significant interest in the the topic led to strong pre-orders, placing the highly anticipated book at #1 prior to release in multiple categories on both Amazon and Amazon Canada.

"What if I could show you that each constellation offered us a glimpse into the life of Jesus," says Amaral. "That every major event in His life was marked by the appearance of one of these constellations. What if I could show you that His birth, death and resurrection, were literally written in the stars? There is no way you could dismiss these alignments as purely random or unguided. The fact that they line up so perfectly with His life is evidence of design. Intelligent Design. Divine Design."

In fact, the whole universe exists to reveal information about one person, and one person only: Jesus the Messiah! Think of the zodiac images, or constellations, as snapshots into the life of Jesus. As we study them we discover that every major event in His life was marked by the appearance of one of these constellations.

The Bible is very clear when it states that God created, named, and positioned all of the stars of the universe in their place in a very specific way—a way that tells us the greatest story ever to be told. In Luke 21:25 Jesus says, "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars." Signs are meant to point us towards something: Jesus.

God has placed the message of salvation in the heavens. He has written a story in the stars.

"After five years of researching, writing and teaching, I am so excited that today, I get to share it with the rest of the world," says Amaral. "I believe that STORY IN THE STARS contains within itself a message that has the power to change millions of lives and help people find their way back to the God of the Bible."

STORY IN THE STARS was released today, October 30, from FaithWords / Hachette Book Group.
