The Importance of Biblical Storytelling

The apostle Paul directed Timothy to teach faithful men who would follow his model of teaching others also (2 Tim 2:2). To ask a new believer to tell his or her unbelieving network of friends about Jesus takes boldness, confidence, and--critically--a teaching program that is simple and easily reproducible.

This book teaches how to craft and model telling biblical stories in the believer's own words and style that can be easily repeated by following spiritual generations. But crafting effective stories to reproduce takes wisdom.

Identifying Negative Influences

Biblical Storytelling Design identifies seven negative influences that can either weaken or even terminate the storytelling process of spiritual reproduction. But these influences can be counteracted by applying storytelling strategies when crafting stories.

Understanding Why It Works

This book teaches not only what to do but why it works through understanding insights from educational psychology, sociology, and anthropology that are illustrated in Scripture itself.
