Creative Ways to Tell a Bible Story

Martyn Payne is a seasoned storyteller in children's ministry, and this practical guide reflects decades of real experience. The three-phase framework — ways in, ways through, ways out — gives leaders a reliable structure for approaching any Bible story, and more than 30 fully worked examples mean you can open the book on a Thursday night and find something usable for Sunday morning. The Baptist Union of Great Britain reviewer called it a resource 'you'll be reaching for every week.' The curated list of key Bible words and phrases and the suggested year-long storytelling programme add planning value for regular children's workers. The mild caveat, noted by that same reviewer, is that some techniques recur across examples, and the book doesn't offer much insight into Payne's own pre-telling preparation process. A strong, durable resource for anyone leading children in faith settings.
