Jesus was the original storyteller . . .
When Jesus wanted to teach the people something straightforward, he spoke in simple, factual sentences. But when He wanted to touch the hearts of those around Him, He told a story. I believe that when Jesus told the parable of the prodigal son, or the Good Samaritan or any other, that there was great emotion in the storytelling. I picture the people standing around, mouths slightly open, tears in their eyes. Jesus used story to get a point across, to change hearts. Why? Because stories have a way of getting past the walls of our hearts, and taking root in the most tender places of our souls. I believe that is what God still wants from those who are gifted to write stories. This is why I write Life-Changing Fiction.I pray that as you explore the books listed here, you will be changed by the stories, and that you will find yourself in a closer walk with God and the people He's put in your life. Don't forget to sign the guestbook and tell me how God has touched your life through the power of story!
