I loved this book and you will too!Jon  Acuff,Wall Street Journal bestselling author ofQuitterandStuff  Christians LikeOne of the great tragedies of our time is that the  Christian community is losing its story.  In today's distracted and disrupted  culture, the Church's voice is fading, because we've lost sight of the power  of story. Scott McClellan's fascinating new bookTell Me a Storyis  a timely reminder that to engage a media-driven world effectively, we need to get  back to the mindset of Jesus-telling compelling stories that transform lives.Phil  Cooke, Ph.D,Filmmaker, media consultant, author ofUnique: Telling Your  Story in the Age of Brands and Social Media Tell Me a Story is  an invitation to embrace the story of God unfolding in all of our lives. It's a  witty, insightful, and practical look into the raw beauty of story and its transformative  power.Charles Lee,CEO of Ideation, author ofGood Idea. Now What? Tell  Me a Storyis a reminder that the life of following Jesus is not a rigid, legalistic  experience, but a story in which we get to breathe and live.

Get this book. Not only will you get the answer to that question,  you'll also find out what gob smacked, group freak out and hip-dislocating mojo  has to do with anything.Kem Meyer,Communications director at Granger  Community Church, author ofLess Clutter. Less Noise.  Scott  McClellan is a gifted writer who crafts each and every word into beautiful sentences,  compelling the reader into the narrative journey of their lives. AndTell Me  a Storydid just that. It continually drew me into the belief that my story  mattered, and that God wants to use it.  And as I began to believe that my  story mattered, I began to not only encounter, but pay more attention to the daily  work of God in my life.This is the type of book I want to hand to people  in my pastoral and counseling work and say, "Your story matters...you need to share  it with others." But it's not just a book for others; it is a book for me. It's  a book that reminds me that because my story matters to God, I'm to come alongside  others and encourage them to live out and tell their story.Rhett Smith,Marriage  and family therapist, author ofThe Anxious Christian Tell  Me a Storyis a book that needs to be read, written by an author who needs to  write it. Scott McClellan has combined his spiritual depth with his dry humor, and  has given the world this timely and beautiful work of art. The more we visit and  revisit the Story we're caught in, the more we'll find ourselves living out our  highest calling of Christ in us, through us, and in spite of us. I thank God for  Scott's voice-a voice that calls us back into both the telling, and into the living  out, of the only Story that really matters.Gary A. Molander,Owner  and founder of Floodgate Productions, author ofPursuing Christ. Creating Art. Few  people are as capable as Scott McClellan to write a book like this. In recent years,  he has become one of the most trusted Christian voices on effective communication.  InTell Me a Story, Scott seeks to empower readers to become captivating  and compelling storytellers. You'd do well to listen to what he has to say.Jonathan Merritt,Faith and culture writer, author ofA Faith of Our Own: Following Jesus  Beyond the Culture Wars
