The Stories
The Narrative Quest of Loved & Sent


Picture
This book is about identity and purpose.  Loved and sent are answers to:

     "Who am I?"
     "Why do I matter?"  

They come with loads of biblical and theological weight.  To keep them from becoming heady and esoteric, I had to tell stories.  Early in the process, I made the decision to tell personal stories.  This was a difficult choice.  Some stories were hard to write.  My German and Midwestern heritage is modest.  You're not supposed to talk about yourself.   A friend gave me the courage to remain candid: 


     "How can you share the importance of these words unless you share them personally?"


So I tell stories:

  • Bob the Farmer, who nearly broke my hand with his sausage-like fingers.  
  • Lady Kay, the British Yooper and prophetess.
  • George, my friend cursed with ALS.
  • Brandon, the boy who survived the streets.

I hope that by telling stories I can help you reflect on your own story.  You'll find that God shows up in your story too.
