Why teach the Bible as a story?

Why teach the Bible as a story?

“Daddy, can you tell me a rule?”

That’s a sentence that no child of mine has uttered.  Like, ever.

The fact is that human-beings are story-driven creatures—from our earliest memories to our final days. In the words of the novelist David Foster Wallace, “We need narrative as we need space-time.”

There’s a new post of mine up at Seedbed.com that talks about why it’s important to gain a basic grasp of the Biblical storyline. (Read here)

They’ve been releasing lots of resources this week for the official launch of Long Story Short: the Bible in Six Simple Movements.

Why I wrote Long Story Short

Why I wrote Long Story Short

Thanks to Seedbed.com for posting this piece about my new book: Long Story Short: the Bible in Six Simple Movements.

You can read it here.

While the book has been available for a couple months now, this week marks the official launch of the project, along with all the video content we shot to help church small groups use the material in practical ways.

I’ve been blown away by the response so far and can’t wait to share new resources as they come out.

If your church is interested in the book and would like to have me come speak or preach on the content, you can reach me at Joshua.mark.mcnall@gmail.com

I’ve got several dates on the calendar already, but would love to add more.

Lastly, if you’ve read the book, please consider leaving a review on either Amazon or Seedbed.com. They really help with the digital voodoo (read: algorithms) that determine who sees the book online.
