12-week Bible study that helps people share their life stories and their faith stories
By: Richard L Morgan and Beth Sanders The Great Story & Your Story: Connecting the Bible to Everyday Lives offers 12 weeks of engaging, relationship-building Bible study for new Christians or those already familiar with the scriptures, regardless of age. This study is also ideal for intergenerational group settings. Intergenerational Bible study. Appropriate for all ages. Each week there is an opportunity to read a relevant scripture, hear the Biblical story in a new way, and listen to an example of how the passages connected to the lives of the co-authors, Dr. Richard Morgan (a retired pastor and professor, age 80+), and Beth Sanders (a female business owner, age 40+). The book then challenges the group participants to delve into their own life experiences, lessons, joys, and struggles to find their own connection to the Great Story. This book also has an invaluable Leader’s Guide, plus Heartfelt Letter (Ethical Will) and Faith Story templates. It provides creative ideas for closing the class by celebrating the participant’s stories in the small group and/or in church worship.

“…a lively, welcoming, and personal encounter with sacred scripture"
Dr. David Seymour, Mt. Zion Lutheran Church
“I am a teacher and I know when texts resonate with students. This book helped this group of ten people not only relearn stories of the Bible but relate them to their own lives. Every class was alive, exciting and meaningful."
“This book is a treasure and a must-have for anyone working in smal group settings…”
Dr. Miriam Dunson
Presbyterian minister (retired)
“I appreciated not only the richness of the scriptural texts chosen for use in the book, but also the depth of your storytelling…I believe you have written a valuable resource for people at midlife and older adulthood.”
–Rick Gentzler, Director, Center on Aging & Older Adult Ministries, United Methodist Church
“You know what? Some of the stories of the Bible I had never learned in all my 60+ years of church and Sunday school. What made them come alive was realizing that these are not just old, dusty stories in a history book, but a living Word for me and my life story.”
