On Sharing Bible Stories (Top Tips Series)

Publisher Description

Jesus told stories to crowds of people, who listened intently. Some understood and responded, some were puzzled and some were offended. That's the effect that stories can have! Storytelling is a vital tool for anyone working with children and young people. This book explores what the Bible says about storytelling, presents some basic principles and then gives loads of ideas on how to effectively share Bible stories with imagination, enjoyment and impact. All three authors are schools workers with Scripture Union and have had plenty of experience in sharing Bible stories with children and young people as well as training others to do the same. Sue Brown works in South Yorkshire, Andy Gray works in Lancashire and Gill Marchant is a multi-faith specialist in Brent. "Top Tips" booklets are designed for all those working with children and young people. Big on practical advice, but small enough to digest over a cup of coffee, so you can get to grips with the issues fast. Be inspired and encouraged with "Top Tips" from the experts!
