Your Story Matters

Description

Your Story Matters presents a dynamic and spiritually formative process for understanding and redeeming the past in order to live well in the present and into the future. Leslie Leyland Fields has used and taught this practical and inspiring writing process for decades, helping people from all walks of life to access memory and sift through the truth of their stories. This is not just a book for writers. Each one of us has a story, and understanding GodÕs work in our stories is a vital part of our faith. Through the spiritual practice of writing, we can ÒrememberÓ his acts among us, Òdeclare his glory among the nations,Ó and pass on to others what we have witnessed of God in this life: the mysterious, the tragic, the miraculous, the ordinary. With a companion video curriculum from RightNow Media, this is a Òwhy notÓ book as opposed to a Òhow toÓ book. Leslie asks each of us an important question: ÒWhy not learn to tell your story, in the context of the grander story of God?Ó
