The God-Hungry Imagination: the Art of Storytelling for Postmodern Youth Ministry by Sarah Arthur (Upper Room Books, 2007)In The God-Hungry Imagination, Sarah Arthur combines her experience as a youth leader along with her love of literature and makes a compelling case for the importance of story not only in the lives of the church’s young people, but in all of us. In this fascinating and enjoyable book, Arthur reminds us that the Bible is a great story (rather than just a set of smaller stories) and that making sure that we understand the story and are willing to share it is one of the most important things we can do for our kids. The book includes both conceptual ideas for why story is important in ministry and also some concrete suggestions for how to carry out the idea.

Have you noticed this emphasis on story and God’s one big story turning up a lot lately in books and resources?
