edit data

David Edgren is a storyteller. He tells stories to kids in schools, camps, and special events. When he is asked to speak to grown-ups, he tells them stories too. Why all the stories?
Because Dave is convinced nothing speaks as loudly to the heart, or is as memorable, as a good story.
The Bible is full of stories. God sent His Son, Jesus to save the world, and He came telling stories. We are wired to receive and act, based on the stories we hear.
Dave is an author, mentor, trainer and believer in the power of a narrative.
He has seven books published.

Story givers

My passion for storytelling and writing come from my belief that, as storytelling creatures, humans become the stories they believe. The majority of faith and values decisions are made before kids leave primary school. Both of these assertions are backed by solid research in both secular and christian studies.

Difficult to get into the writing style and choppy story although it's clear the author has created this discomfort on purpose. The final third makes it with reading. A very true-to-life first person ending. Lol ...more
