Spoken Into Being Audiobook

Storytelling helps us makes sense of the events of our lives, the world around us, and God. When we tell stories, we speak a world into being-just as God did in the creation accounts in the book of Genesis.

In this book on storytelling as spiritual exploration, master storyteller Michael Williams shares stories from his life, guides us to reflect on our lives, and helps us tell our stories. He reminds us that we have been spoken into being as part of a much larger story. Using poetry, personal narrative, and retellings of biblical stories, Williams leads us to a deeper knowledge of the power of narrative.

The stories that capture our attention shape us into who we are now and the persons we will become. Not all stories serve us well, however. Stories of fear stop us in our tracks and become roadblocks on the journey, while stories of fantasy, no matter how alluring, are dead-end streets.

*Spoken into Being** points to a path beyond fear and fantasy, a way toward encounters with the Holy where all things are being made new.
