The Story Begins

This collection of stories—twenty-one classics followed by ten potent new stories—displays Tobias Wolff's exquisite gifts over a quarter century.

From award-winning author Elissa Brent Weissman comes a collection of quirky, smart, and vulnerable childhood works by some of today’s foremost children’s authors and illustrators—revealing young talent, the storytellers they would one day become, and the creativity they inspire today. Everyone’s story begins somewhere… For Linda Sue Park, it was a trip to the ocean, a brand-new typewriter, and a little creative license. For Jarrett J. Krosoczka, it was a third grade writing assignment that ignited a creative fire in a kid who liked to draw. For Kwame Alexander, it was a loving poem composed for Mother’s Day—and perfected through draft after discarded draft. For others, it was a teacher, a parent, a beloved book, a word of encouragement. It was trying, and failing, and trying again. It was a love of words, and pictures, and stories. Your story is beginning, too. Where will it go?

How do we conform to the image of Jesus Christ? How do we grow in maturity as believers? How do we truly live out and experience all that God is and all that He offers to us? The Experiencing God's Story series answers these questions and more through an examination of twelve essential topics of spiritual formation. Presented through the three-step process of spiritual development--"believing, behaving, and becoming"--each topic examines a passage of Scripture, identifies and explains the theological principles of spiritual formation, and offers personal application for continued spiritual growth.

About Book: There isn't anything such as… true love And there isn't a false love… it is just love. Have you ever googled the word? Asked Siri, Alexa? Is there a synonym for it. The word is complete in itself, it is the most powerful and yet the most humbling emotion. The story begins at the end is a collection of such stories that celebrate love in its myriad forms. The collection holds most of the narratives in such a way that they could well be starting off by the end of the story, the beginning of love, figuratively and literary – the last line coming forth from the first. Love is the window to our souls. It is not the fear of being alone, it is a matter of being together... About the Author: The author is a former Officer of the Indian Army.
