Do you like stories?

Do you read them/ Do you tell them?

My friend says that facts tell, but stories sell. The more stories you
hear tht illustrate the power of a dynamic truth, the more you will
believe in the power of your mission and vision. God’s story is an
example. Much of the truth of the Bible is conveyed in story form.
Incarnational throloguy is about fleshing out truth.

Listen to and read stories – non-fiction and fiction. Collect stories.
Learn to tell them. Have enough of them to illustrate your big ideas.

I have been impressed with the stories that successful entrepreneur and
best selling author Andy Andrews tells. Pehaps you will be too.

You can actually be a partner with Andy in telling his stories by establishing an affiliate relationship with him:

From Publishers Weekly
Christian author and motivational
speaker Andrews effectively combines self-help with fiction to catch
readers’ interest, sustaining momentum while simultaneously passing on
instructions for positive thinking. With his can-do style, Andrews
(Storms of Perfection; Tales from Sawyerton Springs) tells the
allegorical tragedy of one David Ponder, whose woes begin when he loses
his job, his confidence and essentially his drive for living. After a
succession of losses, Ponder is rendered unconscious after a car
accident, and is magically transported into seven key points in
history. At each stopping point, he is met by historical figures such
as Abraham Lincoln, Anne Frank, King Solomon, Harry Truman and
Christopher Columbus, each of whom imparts one of the seven key
decisions that Andrews asserts are essential for personal success.
After his travel through time, Ponder regains consciousness in a
hospital and discovers he is holding letters given to him by the
various heroes. The letters offer familiar self-help counsel: accept
that the buck stops with you, become a wisdom seeker and a person of
action, determine to be happy, open the day with a forgiving spirit,
and persist despite all odds. Although Andrews writes from a Christian
perspective, his overall message (trust that God is sovereign, but do
your part in making your future happen) will ring true with a broad
spectrum of inspirational readers. Some astute thinkers may be put off
by the simplistic story line, but Andrews does an exemplary job at
providing positive suggestions for overcoming life’s obstacles.
