When is the last time you heard a good story? 

Bible stories have an amazing ability to  open up spiritual conversations. Bob Prouty reports,

"Stories help me know who is interested in knowing more about Jesus. I normally share the passage I read that day in my morning Bible study. Stories allow me to share about Jesus more often than any other method. Telling stories from the Bible has also helped me gain a much greater appreciation of who Jesus is and what God has done for us.  When I tell the stories to adults the stories become alive to me."

Nancy Wilson has an excellent approach.  You can listen to her workshop here.
