Synopsis

The “Been there, done that” culture is starving for reality. Hardly satisfied with the modern conventions of citing facts and figures and pushing propositions, emerging churches are jumping into the narrative form of communication with both feet. But not all emerging church leaders have an inherent handle on the craft and skill of using narrative as a sermon form. Experiential Storytelling zeros in on the hows and whys of narrative, as well as the importance of sharing personal experience to double your storytelling ammunition. In addition, author Mark Miller goes several steps further, giving examples of real-time, hands-on experiences for church members as innovative extensions of traditional teaching and preaching that offer them greater scriptural understanding and ownership of the gospel story.Chapters include:• The Dawning of the Age of Experience• Once Upon a Story• Awakening the Sleeping Giant in the Church—C*R*E*A*T*I*V*T*Y• Reimagining the “Sermon”• Elements of Experiential Storytelling• Killer Apps

Goodreads review by Adam on March 30, 2010

Miller asks a new question: How do we meet and intersect with our youth and their experiences? In a world that questions facts, and where new experiences are needed in order to keep our youth engaged, there needs to be a shift in teaching styles. This book provides any leader with every step that is......more

Goodreads review by Sagely on September 25, 2014

My congregation is in STORYTELLING MODE right now. We're mapping out our church's story as we ramp up to a 50th anniversary. So when this book tumbled into my hands, I was hopeful. Maybe it would give me a silver bullet for a celebration that equips us for ministry rather than simply drains energy. B......more
