Discover the Art of Bible Storying
Description:... After more than
a decade in youth ministry, Michael Novelli felt like he’d tried everything to
connect his students to the Bible. Then a missionary introduced him to the art
of Bible storying--an imaginative way to engage in the scriptures through storytelling,
creative reflection, and dialogue. He soon discovered that Bible storying was
not only an effective teaching approach, but a powerful way to awaken people to
new purpose and identity rooted in the biblical narrative.
In 2012, Michael partnered with sparkhouse to create Echo the Story curriculum,
based on his approach to Bible storying. Michael has seen people of all ages
benefit from this imaginative way of encountering God through the Bible.
In this book, you’ll find methods for
adapting Bible storying for varied contexts and ages, testimonials from people
using this approach, tools to create your own Bible storying narratives, and
details about the proven learning theories guiding this approach.
