A Good TellingBringing Worship to Life with Story
From Skinner House Books
This guide to storytelling in worship provides techniques for good storytelling, plus practice exercises to help readers learn to employ them. It includes eight stories, ready for telling, with themes and plots ideally suited for multigenerational worship.
Suppose you scrub your ethical skin until it shines,
but inside there is no music,
then what?
—Kabir
Suppose you cried a thousand years for a child who died
when she drank bad water.
Suppose you organized a great movement
to clean the water.
Suppose you carried the first filled glass
to the child’s sister.
Suppose you lifted it to her lips.
Suppose you watched her dive into the glass,
splash, and swim on.
