Description

The purpose of this monograph is to make familiar biblical stories come alive and be relevant to present situations and times. Far too often stories heard over and over may lose their ability to engage the listener. We know the story; we know how the plot comes out; we know who the winners are. When we approach biblical stories with the attitude, "I've heard that already, I know what that means," we fall asleep rather than allowing ourselves to be shocked awake. Such spiritual sleepwalking bypasses a crucial first step, that moment when the heart has to find its way, not through what we think we know, but through a raw immediacy of presence in the text and in our heart. Only there--in "the cave of the heart," as the mystics are fond of calling it--does a person come in contact with his or her own direct knowingness. And this direct knowingness comes through honest connection to the text and one's own inner life. Most biblical passages in this volume are told in narrative form. Sometimes the stories are told in first person, sometimes told through the voice of a narrator, some are placed in their original context, and others are framed in a more modern and contemporary one. The hope is to provide a new way of looking at these old and familiar stories. In most cases we will provide a concluding "so what?", but our hope is that you will use this material and add your own "so what?" as you feel inspired.
