The Big Book of Little Stories, Volume 1


Book Description

Biggest Little Stories(tm) turns children's imaginative, made-up stories into fun animated videos. Volume One of The BIG Book of Little Stories is a collection of seven stories told by kids. Children's imaginations take us into a world with purple unicorns, wizards, and dragons. We spend a day at the beach with Laila, fly into outer space with monkeys, and run into big bad wolves... who turn out to be pretty friendly in the end. Biggest Little Stories(tm) started when Shelby illustrated one of her nephew's hilarious and creative stories (The Big Bad Wolves by Blake, age 3). It was a fun and unique way to express his story through animation. We realized this would be a great opportunity for all children to share their fun and creative stories with the world. Our mission is to capture the imaginations of children and bring their playtime stories to life, so they can be shared and enjoyed by parents and children everywhere.

Stories That Serve


Book Description

Stories are a powerful tool in the hands of a preacher. Used poorly, they can become the central focus of a sermon, usurping the rightful place of God’s word as teacher and guide. Used well, they support the cause of truth, bringing the word of God to life with fresh clarity, relevance and power. This concise book serves as an excellent introduction to the role of storytelling in expository preaching. Ed Moll, a seasoned preacher and preaching trainer, offers readers a comprehensive guide to the types of stories that can support biblical teaching, from simple images and metaphors to full-fledged narratives, illustrating how each type can best aid the preacher in teaching the word of God. An excellent resource for both experienced preachers seeking to grow their skill and new preachers just starting out on their journey, this book provides practical exercises to put learning into practice and includes reading lists for those wanting to dive deeper into the topics raised.

Narrative - State of the Art


Book Description

Narrative – State of the Art which was originally published as a Special Issue of Narrative Inquiry 16:1 (2006) is edited by Michael Bamberg and contains 24 chapters (with a brief introduction by the editor) that look back and take stock of developments in narrative theorizing and empirical work with narratives. The attempt has been made to bring together researchers from different disciplines, with very different concerns, and have them express their conceptions of the current state of the art from their perspectives. Looking back and taking stock, this volume further attempts to begin to deliver answers to the questions (i) What was it that made the original turn to narrative so successful? (ii) What has been accomplished over the last 40 years of narrative inquiry? (iii) What are the future directions for narrative inquiry? The contributions to this volume are deliberately kept short so that the readers can browse through them and get a feel about the diversity of current narrative theorizing and emerging new trends in narrative research. It is the ultimate aim of this edited volume to stir up discussions and dialogue among narrative researchers across these disciplines and to widen and open up the territory of narrative inquiry to new and innovative work.
