What story is God writing in your life?
Through personal stories and an easy-to-follow framework, national award-winning journalist Mackenzie Ryan Walters teaches us how to craft our personal experiences and encounters with faith into a story we can share with family, friends, or the wider world.
Driven by Mackenzie's belief that everyone has a faith story to tell and everyone can share their story in an honoring and engaging way, "Faith Storytellers: Unleash the Power of Your Story" will show you how to act as a journalist to discover God's divine fingerprints in your story. You'll understand the different genres of faith stories, common pitfalls or mistakes to avoid when preparing your story, and how to overcome the fear or anxiety nearly all storytellers face.
You'll also enjoy 40 short, personal stories from Christian writers and authors. From college students to business owners, truck drivers to military members, teachers to medical professionals, these inspiring stories chronicle how God revealed himself in moments of grief and celebration, uncertainty, and calling. These heartwarming tales bring hope and reassurance of God's love.
"Faith Storytellers" will challenge you to see God as our divine author and main character. He's both writing our story and with us on the journey.
