The Importance of Preaching Scripture as Story
                January 11, 2007                      

"And, of course, people are interested only in themselves. If a story is not about the hearer he will not listen. And I here make a rule--a great and lasting story is about everyone or it will not last. The strange and foreign is not interesting--only the deeply personal and familiar" ~John Steinbeck - East of Eden p270.
