Bible Storying: Drawing the Net
Bible storying methodology places focus on selecting Bible stories, oralizing stories for telling, and how to tell and dialog the stories with listeners. More attention needs focusing on the time of invitation to believe or act upon the stories. Experience continues to teach how this may vary from people group to people group. The book suggests some of the tested approaches and what to do when listeners respond early or do not respond as expected when an invitation is given.

There are obviously both physical and spiritual blindness. The object is to give hope to the Blind who can “see” Jesus through the Bible stories, and in their hearts can see Jesus as they have faith in him. None of us have seen God or Jesus in person. Yet we do see both in the stories and events in our lives as we live, pray, and teach using the Bible stories.
