Nourishing Narratives

Do we see ourselves in God’s great story? In Nourishing Narratives, Jennifer L. Holberg shares on the power of story to shape our faith.

At just over 200 pages and in 9 chapters, this book weaves together literature and life stories to give us a glimpse of God. It is an incredibly moving experience as the book speaks to your soul and stirs you up with wonder. Holberg knows her Bible, and she sees that God continues to write with the stories of our lives.

Look for the Lord in Your Stories

I was most moved at Holberg’s personal stories. Going back all the way to the days of her youth, she recounts and retells her own tales. She is a master writer, but she does not speak down to her readers. She invites us into her world, showing us how God enters and impacts her stories. I was moved to see the beauty of a life well-lived, and inspired to look for the Lord in the stories of my own life.

With warmth and charm, this book is a beautiful testimony to Christ and how he writes on our hearts. It is a celebration of story, and a call to trust the Storyteller.
