Storytelling has been around since the beginning of time. Can you just picture Adam and Eve sitting around and telling God about their day and the adventures they had in the Garden of Eden? It is how we connect the past to the present, keeping the details of history alive into the future. Word pictures, intricately woven with descriptive words and phrases bring to life the events of the past, the details of a missed occasion or an object lesson to teach a child. "Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today." Robert McAfee Brown "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." Hannah Arendt Jesus is a great example of a masterful storyteller. Although all his stories were not based on an actual event, they were not fiction. There was nothing but truth in them. What skill! You now have the opportunity to become a great storyteller. Here are some tips to help you make the most of each parable and each class.

Matthew Gorkos begins The Storied Church with this compelling statement: "I believe in the church--in the power of faithful people serving a good and gracious God--and I believe in the power of a good story. Moreover, I believe, as this book will argue, that church and story--harnessed together--could be an even more powerful force for goodness in our world." Neuroscientists, anthropologists, archeologists, and psychologists all agree. Story is how our brains and our communities make sense of things. Storytelling helps us cope with change and loss. Storytelling helps us transmit lessons and life-skills to the next generation. As human beings, it seems we can't do without story. This book--indeed, this whole idea of story-centered church renewal--was born of a suspicion that the restorative, transformative, life-giving function that stories have for us as individuals may serve communities of faithful people as well. If stories help us survive as human creatures, why can't they help churches survive? The problem that story-centered renewal seeks to remedy has only become more prevalent and urgent in the age of Covid-19. Our churches need hope now more than ever. Writing from a pastor's perspective, Gorkos hopes to encourage and empower other pastors and lay leaders with both the hope and the tools they need to effect revitalizing change in their faith communities. Each chapter includes questions for reflection to help readers listen to and tell the stories that will lead to renewal and transformation.

Once upon a time, there was a truth so profound, so heavenly, that human language failed the task of explanation. No arrangement of 26 simple letters could do justice to its depth and majesty. Into this wordless trauma God sent the Word, Jesus Christ, the only one qualified to convey heavenly truth. He arranged letters into words, and words into stories called parables. Enjoy a fresh look at some of these powerful stories, and their impact on your personal walk with Christ, in this easy to read devotional study as you Find Your Story in the Parables of Jesus.

There's hardly anyone in the world more down-to-earth than Jesus. That sounds far-fetched because, well, Jesus is God. But read the Gospels and you find Jesus telling stories that ring true from beginning to end, stories you can immediately identify with, stories that make you go "hmmm." In Down to Earth we learn that these stories are different from the stories we tell each other--these are stories intended to change your life. They're soul stories--stories that get inside you and linger there, stories you start to find yourself living into. And when you do, you and the world around you are transformed for good.

Story telling has been a means since the beginning of time to relate the history, humor and happy times of life. It may contain a gory tale of battle, a glorious happening in one personal life, a grand sharing of the way it use to be, a goodnight story for restful sleep or maybe great events to be remembered as history unfolds in time from generation to generation. Story telling has always brought fancies and fact to life. Many stories portray deep truths of life. Some are simply fairy tales. However, you will always catch the attention of someone when you speak "Once upon a time" or as we say in the Deep South, "You ain't gonna believe this." Jesus spoke in parables (story-telling with spiritual motive). He shared forty parables during His ministry on earth as recorded in the New Testament. Each was dynamic and directed to emphasis a great nugget of truth in living the Christian life. I have collected, over the years of my ministry, many short stories that meant so much to me. I have shared marvelous truths applicable to daily living. I have written little stories that revealed spiritual truths. Many of these short stories I formed into "parables." I have preached some of these "modern day parables" as sermons to my church congregations. Therefore, I pray that you will be blessed and benefited by each one shared in this first edition of "Once Upon a Time." I hope a thought will grab your attention for brief moments from time to time as you scan through this book and allow the stories to seal within you the spiritual point or purpose of each little story. You will laugh at you read some. You may cry as you read others. You may shake your head in belief or unbelief that we have so many objects of life that reveal divine truth to us. It is amazing how the Holy Spirit reveals great nuggets of truth from grains of earthly things. So, get comfortable, confine yourself from distractions and consecrate as you read each story.

Thomas Robert Malthus's reputation has lately been rehabilitated in the fields of social biology, demography, environmentalism, and economics. In the midst of this current interest and with the chance to mark the occasion of the bicentenary of the first edition of the Essay on Population (1798), the contributors to this volume take this timely opportunity to examine the historical conditions in which Malthus constructed his theory, and in which the concept of a 'Malthusian' and 'Neo-Malthusian' philosophy first emerged. The essays redress the balance between Malthus's original argument, the immediate responses to Malthus by medics and theologians in Britain and on the Continent, and some of the ways that his ideas were later attacked, appropriated, or misrepresented. Included here are essays that not only re-evaluate the development of Malthus's theory, but also offer critical perspectives on the generation of the 'Malthusian league' and debates about birth control in Britain and on the Continent, and Malthus's influence on the emergence of social science and Darwinian evolutionary biology.
