Announcing new book – Stories aren’t just for kids: Busting 10 myths about Bible storytelling

I have been training people in Bible storytelling since about 2008. During trainings the same objections to using storytelling keep coming up. Stories aren’t just for kids: Busting 10 myths about Bible storytelling was written to tackle the most common objections.

This book is different to my other books as it is written as a ‘taster’ to my non-fiction. It is also only currently in ebook form and I’d love you to share it with others. Pass on the link as widely as you can. In the back are links to more resources about Bible storytelling …

Book blurb

In a world increasingly anti-Christian, how can you communicate in a way that slides under listener’s defences? How can you leave them hungry for more?
Stories are God-designed way to impact hearts.
But many Christians reject stories as just for kids. Christine Dillon has trained thousands of people in storytelling. 10 myths come up over and over again, and they block Christians from using this life-changing ministry tool.
MYTH 1: Adults won’t listen to stories
MYTH 2: Stories are only for non-literate cultures
MYTH 3: Men won’t listen to stories …
MYTH 6: Storytelling won’t grow mature disciples
MYTH 8: Storytelling will lead to heresy …

Using stories from around the world Dillon tackles each myth and challenges you to master this tool.

Christine Dillon is a Bible storyteller and trainer who works in Asia and Australia. Her book, Telling the Gospel Through Story: Evangelism that keeps hearers hungry for more (IVP, 2012) has inspired many to start telling the greatest story of them all.

Book reviews

Thought-provoking. Inspiring. Encouraging. Challenging.

Having read the book I now feel inspired and encouraged to put into practice what Christine promotes: telling the Gospel clearly through Bible storytelling.

An experienced and very accomplished storyteller herself, Christine Dillon helps to break down the barriers that may prevent us from putting into practice such a wonderfully simple yet worthwhile tool.

Her real-life examples, beautifully told between these pages, serve to reinforce the premise that Bible storytelling is an enjoyable and effective means of communicating the truth of God’s grace and mercy to a world desperate to learn the truth.

You would do well to read this book and discover the wonders for yourself.
