Experiential Storytelling: (Re)Discovery Narrative to Communicate God's Message
by
Mark Miller
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. Experien...more

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 needed to make a change. Everything from teaching outlines, how to provide an experiential setting for learning, and how to engage every thinking and learning style after the narrative is read is inc...more

i've been drawn to the theme Story for some time now. I've struggled to figure out how to implement 'story' more into my youth ministry.
Experiential Storytelling didn't tell me anything i didn't already know or hadn't already thought of. but it did confirm in me the desire to implement a more interactive process to storytelling - particularly the stories of the Bible.
Mark Miller's book was an easy, quick read - with larger print and plenty of quotes.

I was not prepared for my mind to be blown when I looked over at our shelf and picked out one of Jessica's books I've never noticed before. I can not wait to see how God uses experiential storytelling in my life. The author gives some great back story on the history of preaching and how our postmodern culture thrives with experiences and the teaching that follows. Youth pastors and volunteers, pick up this book and read it.

This book has been great at getting me to rethink how to prepare talks and add stories to the mix. I wish there had been some more practical examples based on specific bible passages or examples which can be used within a specific talk.
That being said, the book has really gotten me to rethink the bible stories and figure out how to make them feel real to people. How to get a group of teens or adults to experience that they are a part of the story.
The example that continues to stay on my mind is...more

I liked this book because it was about things that are out-of-the-box. Some of the things here may be more than what I would put into practice, but the overall point was to encourage creativity in the church, which is a good thing.
Flat out paving the way.
