Stories that matter
Posted by Paul | Filed under uncategorised
Although I don’t tend to do posts that are only links to other pages, I found an excellent interview with Daniel Taylor on stories and loved it so much I wanted to pass it on.
Some quotes…
Here is the story: it starts “In the beginning, God created”, and it runs through time and thru Biblical history and church history and now up to the present time. And now you come, too. You join the story, you be a character in the story. And that is a much more powerful invitation than “What you believe is false and what I believe is true.”
If you are an ethical storyteller you don’t waste the time of the listener. You try and tell a story that has significance.The great immorality of television is not its obscenity or violence or sex. It is that it wastes our lives. It often tells us thin unimportant stories.
