Tell Me a Story: Developing Ministries from Stories by Bill Spuck is an innovative new guide that will help Christian leaders grow and expand their ministries through the lens of storytelling and creative thinking. Leaders of Christian ministries, services, programs, departments, outreaches, or activities in church or parachurch organizations will learn how to rethink ministry design from the ground up through stories in order to create new processes and improve their current ministry models. In Tell Me a Story, the Story Method is laid out in eight steps, communicating one step per chapter through the engaging story of a pastor designing an evangelistic sports outreach. Steps in the Story Method include writing stories, identifying and describing ministry components and relationships from the stories, designing the ministry based on these components, assigning responsibility for components, and developing the final ministry plan.
