Storytelling - #3 - Vinita Hampton Wright

When have you, like Vinita Hampton Wright in "The Stories We Live" (pg.45), sensed you were trying to control your life story of letting God write it? How can you keep from manipulating its development?

Storytelling - Question #2 - Out of Darkness

Do you think, as novelist Anne Rice believes (from "Out of Darkness," p.43), that dark tales have value for Christians? Why or why not?

Storytelling - Question #1 - In Once Upon a Time...

In the Storytelling section in Today's Christian Woman Liz Curtis Higgs recalls the writers who helped shape her faith journey. Which authors shaped yours? How are their stories' themes influencing your life today?

Cookies & Book Talk Night Were Great!

We had eight of us at the cookie exchange last Wednesday night. Now we have lots of yummy treats to share with our holiday visitors. It put me in the holiday spirit with the music and time with friends. We also spent a little while discussing some thoughts about our first completed book, My Sister's Keeper. It's amazing how we all bring out different thoughts and ideas from the book. And for those of you who finished the book, CAN YOU BELIEVE THE ENDING???
We are not going to start the next book discussion until after the first of the year, so anyone out there has time to pick it up, For One More Day, by Mitch Albom. In the meantime I thought we could read and discuss the special section on Storytelling that was in the last issue of Today's Christian Woman Magazine. I have a copy for each of you. And please blog your thoughts for all of us to enjoy. I hope everyone out there is enjoying the blessed Christmas Season with family and friends. Love, Robin :)
