Telling the Gospel Through Story: Evangelism That Keeps Hearers Wanting More

If you've read Christine's Grace Series (or if you haven't) and you are interested in learning to tell Bible stories as a way of evangelism or discipleship, than you will find this book very helpful in that journey. Read it cover-to-cover, or use it as a reference to help encourage you and answer questions you encounter as you prepare stories of your own to share with people in your life.

it is very encouraging to hear how much positive feedback and how many connections she makes through storying. Lots of examples of where she tells the stories and how they reacted. It would be a great book to read if you are going on a missions trip. There are lots of great tips and she does not give you examples of her storying as she wants you to find your own storying style.

For the last few decades, we've been stuck in a one-size-fits-all model of preaching and evangelism-namely, the logical, linear presentation of propositional ideas. This method is great for abstract-ideational thinkers. But, estimates are that four out of five Westerners, and nine out of ten non-Westerners, prefer concrete-relational thinking. In other words, they learn from hearing stories, rather than from abstract ideas. Dillon's book is the helpful addition we've needed. Finally, we're freed up to use stories in not just preaching and evangelism, but also in the way we lead Bible studies and teach in Bible colleges and seminaries. Get the book, check out the website storyingthescriptures. com, and give it a go. You'll be blown away by how simple it is. And soon you'll be telling stories-the """"mother tongue"""" of the majority of our audiences.

This book is truly fantastic! I think every pastor and leader should read this. And every Christian too - because the task of sharing the gospel is everyone's. This book challenged and inspired me to re-think how I share the gospel in a wide range of contexts. It is really easy to read and the insights are excellent. I cannot recommend it highly enough and have already excitedly recommended it to many people
