Before
the Bible was a book it was flesh and blood. Join author and
storyteller Sean Gladding as he presents the story of creation, helping
us hear it as Israelite exiles would have as they gathered around a
fire by the rivers of Babylon in the sixth century B.C.E. The story of
creation is chapter one of Sean's new book, The Story of God, the Story of
Us: Getting Lost and Found in the Bible
(IVP 2010), which has grown out of years of telling the overarching
Story of Scripture to large groups and small gatherings throughout the
United States and internationally as well.
Says
the author: "What I always hope people walk away with is a desire to go
read the text again, with others, and for people to hear the Story that
is healing, invitational and that leads to life, rather than one that
creates division, wounding and isolation."
About Sean:
Sean Gladding spent several years in Houston, Texas, where he was
copastor of Mercy Street, an initiative by Chapelwood United Methodist
Church for "church wounded" people, as well as people in drug and
alcohol recovery. He now resides in Lexington, Kentucky, at
Communality, a missional community that serves as one of the host
"schools for conversion" for the New Monasticism. |
