This month, Daniel Schwabauer will be sharing with us about his new book, The God of Story. In this book, Daniel explores the narrative principles of theme, context, characterization, voice, and plot as a lens for understanding the cosmic story arc of God's relationship to humanity. By including creative retellings of biblical stories, he demonstrates how to engage Scripture with imagination.
The God of the Story is available to purchase online if you would like to get a copy to peruse ahead of time and to have Daniel sign when we meet!
