When a church does The Story, it reaches out to the COMMUNITY.

Ministers and pastors ask all the time, "How can we grow?" The Story could be a part of an answer - it attracts people. Churches seem to increase in attendance during The Story.

The Story starts spiritual conversations. The book makes it easy to give God's Word as a gift, invite people to church, and engage people in meaningful discussions. "Find your story in God's story" is a compelling invitation. One church of 400 gave away 2000 copies of The Story!

Where there is spiritual deepening, there is growth. It's not just about building our church - it's about building the Kingdom.

Bonus Feature: Personal Testimonies (husband reads The Story; Catholic wife reads The Story to her husband)
