The Storied Life
Christian Writing as Art and Worship
Jared C. Wilson
- When
- writers
- write,
- they
- are
- getting
- in
- touch
- with
- the
- image
- of
- God
- in
- them.
- This
- is
- true
- in
- some
- way
- of
- all
- artistry,
- but
- writers
- especially
- create
- worlds,
- characters,
- histories,
- and
- transformation--all
- ex
- nihilo
- ("out
- of
- nothing").In
- The
- Storied
- Life,
- veteran
- author
- Jared
- C.
- Wilson
- explores
- the
- ins
- and
- outs
- of
- writers
- and
- writing,
- exploring
- the
- myriad
- ways
- the
- craft
- is
- more
- about
- transformation
- than
- simply
- communication.
- From
- decades
- of
- experience
- and
- with
- his
- signature
- wit,
- Wilson
- brings
- well-earned
- insight,
- autobiographical
- reflections,
- and
- meaningful
- meditations
- to
- the
- topic
- of
- writing
- as
- a
- way
- of
- life
- and
- as
- a
- way
- of
- worship,
- showing
- how
- the
- concept
- of
- Story--our
- personal
- stories
- and
- God's
- grand
- story
- of
- redemption--shapes
- fiction
- and
- non-fiction
- writers
- alike.Chapters
- focus
- on
- topics
- like:Whether
- you're
- a
- long-time
- writer
- or
- a
- beginning
- author,
- a
- daily
- journaler
- or
- an
- occasional
- dabbler,
- The
- Storied
- Life
- will
- help
- you
- improve
- your
- craft.
- It
- will
- lead
- you
- to
- think
- more
- deeply
- about
- the
- disciplines
- and
- dispositions
- needed
- to
- write
- for transformation.
