In this book, Story Secrets from Scripture, you will discover why structure in stories is important, how Jesus effectively used parable story teaching, and how you can too. After reading this book you will be able to: (1) Use a simple five-part structure to plan any story, (2) Apply Bible-based approaches to introducing and concluding a story, (3) Find personal experiences to adapt for use as teaching stories, (4) Know how to effectively use props, handouts, and slides. Included in the book are numerous parables of Jesus and examples of personal stories. While an entire library of books exists on understanding story structure, writing screenplays, and how to improve public speaking by telling stories, Story Secrets from Scripture was specifically written to bring you the essential information you need to refresh your story telling techniques or get started for the first time on the exciting journey of telling children’s stories.
